That's the worst part. World Series don't start till next week regardless.

Thing is though both series can get very interesting if Jays/Cubs win tomorrow with the weaker pitching match ups.

Price, Lester and arrieta all waiting to force game 7s

I would surely like it for the Cubs and Jays to win, but if the Blue Jays are counting on Price to come up big and help them force a game 7, then they are sadly mistaken. He just could not get it done in the postseason, whether it was during his time in Tampa Bay or now with the Jays. He should be glad he was gifted that win in the ALDS. Dickey surely got screwed on that one.

The Cubs are really praying hard that they win Game 4 so that Lester and Arrieta can get another chance at redemption. I guess, especially for Arrieta who's had two subpar outings since that gem he threw in the NL Wildcard game against the Pirates.

The Cubs have 15 hits in the NLCS. Ben Zobrist and Alcides Escobar have combined for 16 hits in the ALCS.

Well, you're a dummy dumb, then.
You don't roll three pitches when the GO AHEAD RUN is on third... especially when he was up 0-2 in that count, I think??? Seriously, you don't do that.
He was up 0-2 because Conforto had been swinging at those breaking pitches in the dirt.

Do you think Montero wasn't expecting a breaker? He probably was the one calling for it.

So? What does that have to do with what I stated: that you SHOULDN'T Do that.

Jesus, the Pope, Maddon, Montero, and the ghosts of Ernie Banks AND Billy Williams could have called for breakers in the dirt... you still shouldn't do it THREE TIMES in a ROW with the go ahead run at third.

Great pitching beats good hitting. Hell, good pitching will beat a .300 hitter 70% of the time. Gotta hand it to the mets for sticking to their guns and not giving any of them up.

We were having them up until the playoffs, when everyone left for the football boards. Rock left for the football board back in August, though.

The only people in this forum now are Mets, Cubs, Royals and Jays fans. Mostly Cubs, and when they lose, it'll be just you and me in here.

They didn't actually
Scorecard says strikeout.

Wilmer Flores also hit a triple into the Ivy, but the scorecard says "ground-ruled double"

Strike out was not an out because the ball was in the dirt and the batter got to first. Do you need baseball explained to you.

You said 'they got the out.'
They did not.

You going to continue to argue the point when you're dead wrong, or shall we move on?

Yup. They didn't 'get the out' as you stated
