Being Canadians, Toronto decided to be nice and give Chicago an easier path to a World Series win by letting Cleveland win the AL final.

I think this series could go on a while, with both teams trying to figure out ways to blow it...

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Haven't watched a pitch nor a hit of the series.
Maybe I'll tune in tonight as this is it. Winner and loser get to go home after the game.

It's frustrating being in SA and not getting to see a millisecond of baseball now that it's interesting. Let's hope that the loser tonight has a long bus-ride home - or a one hour flight home.

GO TRIBE!

3:30 a.m. in SA and it's not looking good for the Tribe in the 4th inning. Is this the beginning of the "hey, at least we made it to the big game" moment. If the Indians have to lose it, well at least it's to the even-more-hard-luck Cubs and not one of those asshole West coast teams. Or East coast. Mid West rules, OK!

This has been really good baseball, whatever the outcome - both teams get kudos from me!

This is a crazy great game capping off a crazy great series. Baseball history happening before my very eyes! I never thought I'd be so excited watching teams not based in Boston.
