Apparently the World Series is starting (who would know, when the LCS ended almost a week ago). If you support the Astros, you’re going to get a lot of Phillies-biased tweets here, and rightly so. If you’re on the Phillies bandwagon, welcome, there’s plenty to see here.
Oh, and uh, forget that thing that happened with Twitter and hating the Astros.
The Astros made an interesting choice for music to release.
LMAO they play Avengers music ??????

Root for the Phillies, if not for the Astros sucking, but for them not being able to go 11-0 in the playoffs
Oh yeah, you probably want to know who’s starting, right?

Hey, not cool, but also, fair.
White Sox? Never heard of them.
Huge night for us longtime Phillies fans.

Jeremy Peña: excellent position, scratched.
Jeremy Peña has that batting position that kids will practice in the mirror for years
— Chris Pennant (The Sydney Black Card) (@kwandarykitten) October 29, 2022
Bryce Harper: Hot, also scratched.
bryce harper is so hot and then justin verlander looks like a guy you would see at the lake
— scout (@septa_lemore) October 29, 2022
Verlander has some evil magic going on early.
I’m not one to put it down, but if the Phillies destroy the phylactery Verlander hid in his lich lair, they might have a better chance of winning tonight.

Kyle Tucker puts the Astros up, 1-0, with a first home run in the second.

Obsessed with a very good Tuck
— Jennie Tsai (@Jennie_Baseball) October 29, 2022
Ask the real questions.
Why isn’t second base “a corner”?
– Dump Dump (@DumpOnTheUmp) October 29, 2022
It’s 2-0 now.
Gotta love a perfectly executed hit and run in the World Series. I can’t do better than Martin Maldonado.
Houston leads, 2-0.
—Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) October 29, 2022
Altuve double play to end the round.
A bad call at first base is called off and the Phillies get a crucial out at third.

Kyle Tucker hits another home run in the third, and it’s 5-0, Houston.
Well, this will probably be the nastiest World Series ever.
— Sergio Santos fan club (@santossergio46) October 29, 2022
A little blooper from Nick Castellanos puts the Phils on the board, and a brace from Alec Bohm sets up two more, and it’s 5-3 Astros in fourth.
JT Realmuto hits a brace in the fifth to tie the match, 5-5.
RETIRE THIS MOTHERFUCKER PHILLY
— Jennie Tsai (@Jennie_Baseball) October 29, 2022
if you go 5-0 in a game, it seems like a bad idea to let the other team score 5 runs in a row, but I’m no baseball expert, so I could be wrong
—Shea Serrano (@SheaSerrano) October 29, 2022
Ben Verlander is somewhere screaming, crying and throwing up.

Classic World Series Justin Verlander
Justin Verlander is more on fire than Babe Ruth’s wife.
— Todd Munson (@themunson) October 29, 2022
Tied between five and five, and this game is now a must.
And to think I almost watched Dudley Moore’s Christmas movie instead
— ♀️jac-BOO-line (@zombie_jacki) October 29, 2022
Alec Bohm makes a fantastic play to get Zach Eflin out of a jam in the sixth.

Kyle Schwarber steals second, our hearts and tacos in seventh to get into scoring position.
very important fact before the World Series:
the team that stole the taco has won the world series every year for the past five years
— Francesca (her) (@francescaossi) October 28, 2022
Schwarber eats his tacos on a flour tortilla with just meat and cheese
— ♀️jac-BOO-line (@zombie_jacki) October 29, 2022
Realmuto and Harper walk, and Castellanos heads for the plate with the bases loaded and two outs.
Oh my god what a horrible thing is going to happen during this commercial break
– the whitest sox you know (@flannelGoddess) October 29, 2022
And Castellanos strikes to finish the seventh.
Hector Neris just prevented World War III
– Brand Contributor Jeff Everson (@EVR551) October 29, 2022
Nothing to do in the eighth, so we head for the ninth still tied at five.
I’m really enjoying Game 1.
As a nervous eater, I probably would have eaten a Party Sized bag of Doritos by now if the White Sox were in a late tied World Series game. It must be intense for Astros and Phillies fans.
—Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) October 29, 2022
Altuve bloops a two-out single and attempts to steal the second – it’s called safe and we’ll revisit, but the call holds.
REFEREES ARE COPS AND ALL COPS ARE LOUNGES
— Stephen (@TangoGolfKilo) October 29, 2022
The greatest defenseman in baseball history, Nick Castellanos, pulls off a superb sliding catch to end the inning and send the game to 10th.
CASTELLANOS CANNOT PLAY DEFENSE
— Trooper Galactus (@TrooperGalactus) October 29, 2022
JT Realmuto throws a ball to the right field wall to lead the 10th, and the Phillies have their first lead of the game, 6-5.
Bregman bare-handed a ball that beat Bohm to base one.
Alex Bregman made it too easy.
—Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) October 29, 2022
Damn, Bregman is so good.
— Trooper Galactus (@TrooperGalactus) October 29, 2022
We go to the bottom of the 10th with an old friend alert, as David Robertson takes the hill for the Phils.
David Robertson for the potential save as the Phillies look to stun the Astros, up 6-5 now, after losing 5-0.
— Jesse Rogers (@JesseRogersESPN) October 29, 2022
Bregman hits a left double, and there’s now a runner in position to score with one out.
The thud when he ran into the building
— temporary Phillies fan (@DontizzleJones) October 29, 2022
Yuli Gurriel walks, and a wild pitch sends the runners to second and third with two outs — then Aledmys Díaz gets in the way of a pitch.
Ah. The David Robertson experience increases to 11.
—Josh Nelson (@soxmachine_josh) October 29, 2022
Robertson completes the save and the Phillies win Game 1, 6-5.
FINAL: Phillies 6, Astros 5
Down 5-0, the Phillies score 5 against Verlander, get a game-saving catch from Castellanos in the 9th, a home run from Realmuto in the 10th, and a wobbly save from Robertson to win Game 1 of the World Series.
It doesn’t make much sense. Win anyway. Philadelphia Phillies 2022.

Despite, you know, cheating, the Astros suck at home in the World Series.
