On Oct. 24, the ESPN Stats and Info Twitter account tweeted an attempt to show how dominant the Los Angeles Dodgers have been in the postseason leading up to the World Series. The tweet read: “The Dodgers are 7-1 this postseason. The 1998 Yankees are the only team in the Wild Card Era to win

Wednesday night’s Game 2 of the World Series between the Dodgers and Astros was one for the history books. Not to be cliche and overexuberant, but it was truly nothing short of epic. If you didn’t watch it and haven’t watched the highlights yet, do yourself the favor of watching the insane and awesome spectacle

On Saturday night, the Houston Astros defeated the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS and clinched the franchise’s first trip to the World Series since 2005. Beginning Tuesday night, the Astros will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the best-of-seven Fall Classic for a chance to win their first World Series championship

At some point, the reminders will go away. The local news stations will stop running ads congratulating the Cubs, the O’Neill stall notes will stop making jokes about Cleveland, kids will surely but slowly stop wearing Cubs hats and jerseys to lunch at South Dining Hall. Today is not that day, tomorrow likely won’t be either,

When I was seven years old, my mom sent me to bed in the middle of Game 7 of the NLCS. It was the end of the fifth inning, the Cubs were down 6-5 against the Marlins, and I was confident enough that the Cubs could pull out one more run to send us to

It’s definitely been one heck of an October Classic, even if it finished up in November. Unfortunately, I had to write this column ahead of Game 7 between the Cubs and the Indians, so the outcome is unknown to me. Either way, though, it was a hard-fought series with enough drama to air on Bravo

The Cleveland Indians winning the World Series would be a letdown, hear me out. Now both teams seemingly came out of nowhere in the past couple of years and emerged as forces to be reckoned with, however, the buzz this year seems to be totally different for the two teams. On the one hand, you

The rotten Chicago Cubs haven’t won the World Series in 108 years. Sad! They’re not a heroic team. They’re loveable because they lose. I like baseball teams that don’t lose in the playoffs, okay? But I can make baseball great again. Believe me. First, we’re going to build a wall at Wrigley Field. It’ll be

I have been told the Royals won the World Series. I cannot say I’m surprised. The Royals had a deeper lineup than the Mets (seriously, the Mets needed to put Daniel Murphy on a milk carton), better relief pitching and the real Johnny Cueto actually stood up. However, the most important aspect in the Royals’

The Kansas City Royals are two games away from winning the World Series, and they’ll have five chances — if they need that many — to get it done. I still don’t think I’m okay with this. Yes, I understand the fun narrative the team has created. The Royals were for so many years a
