    But the sweetness of beating the dodgers in the world series would be worth the risk.

    Amazing catch by Harris (shades of Chas)

    Also a brilliant play by Riley backing up the terrible throw and nailing Harper at 1B

    Definitely want them to take out the Dodgers. The sooner the Dodgers get knocked out, the better.
    And losing a rematch to the Dodgers would be one of the worst case scenarios. The media would be all over the "redemption" story and we'd never hear the end.

    That’s the type of play that puts a team on a roll

    Riley picks up the ball on the move and in one motion throws an absolute ****ing dart to 1B.

    Everything about that play is impressive as s!!t

    What the hell is harper doing? There was no chance that ball wasn’t being caught. Awful base running

    You go to 2B and watch...if it's caught you go back to first, if it bounces off the wall you're hauling ass maybe around 3rd to home.

    Harper did exactly everything you're not supposed to do.

    Worst case scenario is not beating the Twins

    I always find momentum interesting in sports, but it's hard to win 2 games in a row in the post season. And this is why winning game #1 is so important.

    Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, Bob Costas is yet again annoying the **** out of me.

    Costas makes me not miss the 90's. You know how hard it is to do that?
