Well, that was underwhelming. Maybe the idea of a 4-game sweep was a little optimistic.

Statistically....it was going to be a sweep

Dodgers will probably win it all in the end. As a Yankees fan, either team winning is a sour outcome.

I'm getting quite a kick out of the American sports reporters who seem to have never been to Toronto before and are bowled over by the city and the skydome. One guy tweeted about how he had had his first Caesar and loved it. I never realized that they were just a Canadian thing. I've seen jokes about Canadians in the US ordering a round of Caesars and getting a tableful of salads, but I never got the joke before.

I wonder how many of the Fox announcers had their share of Timmies while in Toronto for the first two games… they have to get their Joe somewhere

Ohtani I will never forgive you for that home run.

Just so you know… this game is still in progress…

It was still in progress at 12:50 am, MST, when we were finally put out of our misery in the bottom of the 18th. Longest playoff game in history.

…yeah the misery was over for the Dodgers. Not shocked my professor in my first class cancelled, I bet 9/10 she stayed up for what was essentially a doubleheader.

God Bless the LA faithful. In any other regular season game, this is my worst fear: a tied game that goes on and on. BUT, if it's MY team and I'm at that WS game, I'm there for every inning, no matter!

The Dodgers and Red Sox in 2018 played 18innings as well but the game took longer - 7 hours 20 minutes as compared to 6 hours and 39 minutes. I would think the advent of the pitch clock would have had something to do with the difference.

If you want some long World Series games, just have Brad Paisley sing the national anthem:

I wonder how many people in Los Angeles are playing hooky today…

Haven't kept up since my cubbies lost.

My sister sent me a text with "an excuse form" to be filed in your employee record of why you are not present today. TOO FUNNY!! We both are die hard CUB fans but we also really, really love baseball. I gave up when Shohei hit his HR in the 7th. My sister stayed up and watched the entire game.

P.S. we're both retired!
