What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot Take or Not. ESPN reports the Dodgers took an early lead in Game 1 on an RBI single from Andy Pages. Chip, you're up.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy take is that one run in the early innings is basically a trophy, so Los Angeles should skip the rest and go home with it.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. There are a great many innings left, and I've sat through most of them.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take is that Pages gets one lovely hit tonight and spends the whole series waiting for the bill.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. That's the most believable thing you've said all year, and I include the tea.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThank you.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere's mine. Baseball is too long, and the only fair ending is for the lead to count and everyone to go home right now.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBold exit, Hank. I'm giving the walk-off a nine, and I'm only withholding the tenth because you stayed seated.
