No team in major league baseball had ever lost the first three games of the playoffs and come back to tie the series.

Overheard in Hell a few minutes ago:

First Demon: "Man, where'd all this fucking snow come from?"

So now we wait to see if the Red Sox get to play the Astros or Cardinals for the misnamed World Series. Much as I detest anything connected to Texas at the moment, I'm still a Cub fan. Don't ask me to call this one.

The Bambino is now at peace, that curse is dead. Maybe we can finally kill off the damn billy goat next year.
