oh geez...

extry innings again.

dammit.

a walk off grand slam.

you don't see that every day...

indeed -- that was the first one ever in postseason history...

ST. LOUIS — For Cubs fans, the National League Championship Series is a choice between the greater of two evils.

A Tribune poll asked who they wanted to win the NLCS, the enemy to the South or the nearer foe to the North.

New-found envy "won" over long-rooted hatred.

Sixty-eight per cent would rather see the Brewers win, and that's not because there is great love between Chicago and Milwaukee.

The result is more the built-in dislike Cub fans have for the Cardinals, who received a surprisingly high 13 percent of the vote.

Actually, the Cardinals finished third in the very unscientific but very specific two-team poll, with "this question is mean" garnering 19 percent of the total.

All of which probably means the Cardinals will be attending another World Series next week, because longtime Cubs fans obviously don't make very good life choices.

that question IS mean...

I'm doing what all good cubs fans are doing.

rooting for Detroit.

Me too.

Honestly, I've never met a Cubs fan who hates the Brewers. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are the devil's imps and minions.

Pujols is playing like a man possessed, though.

he will look good as a cub...

2-0 Tigers.

and Leyland took my advice. sorta...

Raburn is in the 2 hole, and scored a run.

damn.

extry innings again.

at least we already had a rain delay...

lotsa drama in Detroit.

this looks like the end for Detroit.

the rangers put up a 4 spot in the top of the 11th.

I think there is another game on, too...

and the rally squirrels beat the brewers 4-3...

And the St. Louis Cardinals deliver a decisive blow to charisma, intrigue, and joy in general, while simultaneously providing a significant boost to humorlessness, drunk driving, and human growth hormone.

with no setup or closer, verlander will pretty much hafta go the distance today...

Verlander is at 113 pitches through 6.

he's almost done...

Raburn in the 2 hole again. just scored another run.

3 more innings with only Phil Coke in the hole.

there will be a stoppage in play while Victor Martinez catches his ancient breath.

a triple...

we may see game 6 yet.

Delmon Young is firkin amazing.

2 homers today after not being able to go yesterday.

wowza...

Who's playing? What is the score?
I haven't been following MLB lately.

Detroit and the Rangers. in Detroit.

series 3-1 Texas. elimination game, and detroit is outta arms...

6-2 bottom of 6.

one more out to get for Phil Coke. 1 more run to give.

I think he needs to go to the Brian Wilson school of facial hair...

lotsa drama.

we go to game 6.
