Lee could go 12 innings if he had to.

I honestly wouldn't feel right about it. There is nothing you can do in that case, but I wouldn't feel right about it.

The point of a game is to play and see who is the best. If you win like that, you can't say in your heart of hearts you are the best.

But bad calls are a part of the game, and over a 162 game season you win some you lose some.

I agree it would be weird if something egregious happened in the WS but in general if the Dodgers lose game 12 on a bad call, they will win a game or two on them too.

tzill's alts got a little confused as to whose turn it was to comment.

Sounds like someone's referencing oneself in third person??

I don't disagree, but that doesn't make it OK that it happens. Bad calls are indeed a part of the game, but plays like that make one wonder if instant replay review could be limited part of baseball as well. Maybe just plays at home plate - you certainly would want to severely limit its use.

Just now tuning in, talk about an aces duel!

Through 8, pitches thrown:

Lee - 79
Cain - 80

Yeah, I'd say there's still gas in those tanks.
