A red banner reading "Impeach Trump!" appeared over right field during game 5 Sunday night in the World Series.
Not only are they heading home with more games to play, now they're just one win from another crown. He was fine this year in a few stints, nine games, seven starts, a 3.95 ERA, an intriguing enough arm that Houston put him on its postseason roster every round, though he appeared just once in the Division Series, once in the ALCS; 4 ¹/₃ innings total since September 28, 92 pitches in a month.
A Washington Nationals fan faced a near-impossible decision when his team faced off against the Houston Astros on Sunday night: catch a home run ball at the word series or keep both of the beers he was holding in his hands. Scherzer hopes to be available for a Game 7 on Wednesday night in Texas.
"I couldn't get out of bed", he said.
Something was definitely missing for the Nationals.
An anticipated matchup of staff aces fizzled when the Nationals scratched Max Scherzer earlier Sunday because of neck and back spasms.
Houston lost the first two games at home by a combined score of 17-7, and came into Nationals Park and had to confront loud crowds wearing red. "We're getting hit and we're not even getting hyped up. He's a fan", Washington manager Dave Martinez said.
"We're going to let him go as much as he can go", Martinez said.
"In terms of Verlander, (I have) a high level of confidence". He didn't fault himself for Alvarez's go-ahead home run in the second. It might've been his final start for Houston - he's eligible for free agency and figures to command a steep price. Once again, though, Houston won the next game to claim the series. "There was nobody better to have on the mound".
Urquidy permitted two hits and no walks over 67 pitches.
The fans weren't finished, either.

We tried to find space and we did it. "It was not an outstanding day, we perform every 3 days, so a brilliant moment". It was a hard game and in the end we saw the experience of the team. "We remained calm until we scored".
Ryan Zimmerman walked on a ball outside with two outs, though the call upset the Astros. The response from the crowd was to boo the president and chant "lock him up". I had to fall out of bed and pick myself up with my left arm.
Cole acknowledged he finished his outing "with a break".
"The doctors told me it's going to take at least 48 hours for this to kick in", he said. The Nationals, meanwhile, are struggling to stay in the series.
It's unclear if Mr. and Mrs. Trump heard the chants while they sat and viewed the game alongside Republican allies including Sen. Hats off to them. "It wasn't that we didn't try".
Cole led the majors in strikeouts this year, was second to Verlander in wins and topped the AL in ERA. Even if the game runs until 1 a.m. people will still watch because of that. "But I just go into the game - obviously four or five innings, six innings would be awesome".
Alvarez, normally Houston's designated hitter, quickly justified his spot in left field. "Hopefully we can have that villain mentality and come together as a group". He said the new injury appears to be unrelated to that issue, which was more a problem with the lower region of the back. The last time the Indians reached the World Series in 2016, all Brantley could do was cheer from the bench because of surgery on his right shoulder.
Nationals: Strasburg is 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA this post-season.
Second-baseman José Altuve was the first Astro to get on base in the first inning while facing Washington's starting pitcher Patrick Corbin.
This year, 18 of the 30 teams had winning records at home during the regular season, and overall clubs were 1,286-1,143 at home for a.529 winning percentage, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Nationals fell to the Astros 7-1 in Game 5 of the World Series, and now trail 3-2 after losing three consecutive games at home.
