Kershaw coming to bat in the bottom of the 17th, as we reach the 7-hour mark of game 3...

Fans with tickets to game 4 will be arriving at the ballpark soon.

I fell asleep and thought you were joking.

Since there's been 2 stolen bases so far in the World Series, that means Taco Bell is giving us 2 free tacos on the 1st, right?!

I feel like the Brewers would of put up a better fight in this series

I wanted to see them in it too, but they really fell apart on that last game.

They fell apart in game 2. That was the beginning of their downfall.

Sox going with Price to start game 5 against Kershaw, and saving Chris Sale to start game 6 in Boston if necessary.

Sale may have been the true unsung hero of game 4, with his pep-talk yell igniting the Sox's batters into action, resulting in the tying and eventual overtaking of the Dodgers late in the game. Very reminiscent of Jason Heyward's words igniting his team late in game 7 of the 2016 series. Sometimes what you say to your teammates off the field can be just as crucial & game-changing as key plays made on the field.

I get what you're saying....but still am miffed it takes words to get one's fire going. Pivotal Game 4 last night and Game 7 for Chicago? It took words to motivate in those situations? Situation itself wasn't enough?

October baseball always exposes the Braves, and the Dodgers too.....just don't have that killer mentality in them

The A’s planned new ballpark will have a gondola system. No word yet on whether it’ll be air conditioned.

What's the purpose? To get people to the upper decks? For those in the back of the parking lot to get to the entrance?

To transport people from downtown to the stadium site, across the interstate.

To transport people from downtown to the stadium site, across the interstate.

That's pretty awesome.

That's pretty awesome.

Hopefully their budget is big enough to build some gator-filled lakes on the route so it's as exciting as WDW's.

If I were a Mets fan I would not be happy about this.
