This post season is weird for me....not used to my team not being in it, but it is a nice break. I would also love to see the Braves beat the Dodgers but I have to mute it.....can't stand that chant they do...

I wonder if I will be able to find the games that I am looking for .... last year .... your game should be on this channel but right now it is on another channel until we are done with the game that is on now .... so if you start watching that other channel ..... it may switch .... have a few glitches where it is on NO channels and then it is on ....

I prefer to listen to the local radio broadcasts on MLB.com, especially Vin Scully for Dodgers games. I turn the sound down on the TV but it is not in sync.

It looks like the Tigers are back! They just needed a lineup shake up.

What major tv/cable channels are now carrying the games?

I thought the Sox were going to choke during Thur night's game - thank god for Koji The up side for the Sox - these next two games (if it goes that far) is at Fenway. The bad news - their path to the WS has to go through Scherzer and Verlander. In most cases, when a team heads back home up three games to two and having won a tough game that was most deflating to their opponent, I'd say the series is all but theirs....but in this case, the one-two punch of Scherzer and Verlander changes that two where I'd call it a toss up for either team right now. I'll even go one step further and say that all my faith in the Sox winning is in tonight's game - I don't think lightning can strike twice for Lackey (to repeat his shut out performance vs Verlander a second time around tomorrow night...he's pitching over his head right now)

One more out, Red Sox - let's get it done

Ooops - There it is

Cardinals' dugout try to make cop laugh

I was watching Baseball highlights of pitchers ..... maybe it was just how they were showing them ..... but it sure seemed like 90% of them had some type of surgery .... the one you hear of the most is Tommy John surgery .... many seemed to be pitching better after it ... and some time of course I was wondering if some pitchers think of getting the surgery before they even pitch .......... semi kidding semi serious

There is something about the number 108 coming into play in a lucky way now as well.

^ just googled that...very weird... http://wgntv.com/2016/10/21/108-may-just-be-the-cubs-lucky-number/ CHICAGO -- It has been 108 years since the Cubs won the World Series and now it seems the number is following the team every where. Grant DePorter, CEO, Harry Caray's Restaurant Group and co-author of the 2008 book "Hoodoo: Unraveling the 100 Year Mystery of the Chicago Cubs," has discovered a shocking list of "108" appearances, which could mean the 108-year-long World Series drought could be coming to an end. "Everywhere you look, it's 108. You just can't get away from it," DePorter has said to the countless fans who have marveled at this discovery. Take a look at some the "108" examples: It takes 108 outs to win the NLCS and 108 outs to win the World Series (27 outs per game x 4 games won = 108 outs). AG Spalding, the Chicago Cubs' first manager and owner of the Spalding Sporting Goods, wrote a rule into the National League's first set of rules requiring teams to only use Spalding baseballs. His baseballs have 108 stitches. His office was at 108 W. Madison. The distance from both the left field and right field foul poles to home plate at Wrigley Field is 108 meters. The City of Chicago's zoning records show that Planned Development #108 belongs to Wrigley Field. There are 1,336 planned developments in Chicago. The Ricketts family, who own the Cubs, made their fortune with Omaha-based TD Ameritrade. Its corporate headquarters are located on 108th Avenue. The movies "Taking Care of Business" and "Back to the Future Part II" both feature the Cubs winning the World Series. Both movies are108 minutes long. Cubs game broadcasts are transmitted from the top of the Willis Tower, which is 108 stories tall. The Cubs' lawsuit against the State of Illinois to have games at night at Wrigley Field was recorded in Volume 108 of the Illinois Supreme Court Reports. The World Series trophy is made of silver, which carries the atomic weight of 108. 108 is a sacred number in Yoga. Jake Arrieta does yoga six days a week. Cubs star pitcher Jon Lester was born in the 108th largest city in the U.S., Tacoma Washington (according to the 2010 National Census.) NLCS Game 2 starting pitcher was Kyle Hendricks. Hendricks was born on 12/7/89. 12+7+89=108.

Wow, it must have taken a lot of research to come up with those! The Sianis coincidence would be weirder if it was 45 years ago that he died, since the last Cubs world series was in 1945. Actually it is the 45th WS since that date because there was none held in 1994 due to the strike. On a personal note, my father was stationed in Germany during that 1945 series and he volunteered for radio duty at night so that he could listen to the games. We have waited long enough and are both pulling for a Cubs world championship!

An odd fact... The first Cubs/Indians World Series game starts Tuesday. With a military time of.....1908.
