When that 18-inning Dodgers victory in Game 3 happened, it sure looked like it would be the defining game of this World Series. How could the Blue Jays possibly come back from that?

Game 4 of the World Series was a lot more of a normal baseball game than Game 3. Frankly, though, the only way it wouldn’t have been is if aliens from another planet had paid a visit to Dodger Stadium. But there were no extraterrestrials on Tuesday night, and now

And just like that: We have ourselves a series. Both the Blue Jays and Dodgers won a game in Toronto, and they both did it in the way they plan on winning all their games: The Jays wore down the Dodgers pitchers and pounced on their bullpen in Game 1,

In baseball, no one player can win or lose a championship: This isn’t the NBA. Every roster spot is its own cog, every matchup is just one man against another man -- you can’t hit a six-run homer. Neither Ted Williams nor Barry Bonds, we remind you, won a World

And just like that, there were four. One member of this quartet is going to be hoisting the Commissioner’s Trophy in the next fortnight or so, and whoever does so is going to make for an incredible story. As difficult as it can be to predict a postseason series --

The Brewers and Cubs, before this series, had never played each other in the postseason -- though they did play a notable Game 163 tiebreaker in 2018 -- and it sure feels like they’ve packed decades of tension into the first four games of this National League Division Series.

The Blue Jays get to do exactly what you and I get to do on Friday night: kick back, relax and watch two teams fight their guts out for the right to play them in the American League Championship Series. For the Mariners and Tigers, though, their seasons are on
