I'm watching the game with you, Alan, and I don't like the way things started, buddy. In the postseason, I like two teams in each league: National - Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers American - Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros I also follow the Seattle Mariners, and am really bummed that one ...

Thanks Ron. Hopefully we'll get them tonight. The squeeze plays by Madden's Cubs were very exciting. Tough play at second in the Dodgers/Mets game. You "got them" alright, Alan! Glad to see the Blue Jays rise to the occasion. Game 4 should be intense and entertaining tomorrow. Joe Madden ...

Sorry to see your Blue Jays lose in that 14-inning heartbreaker, Alan. I'm also sorry to learn that one of my favorites, Vin Scully, will not be broadcasting during the postseason due to "a medical procedure". I love that man! Be well, Vin. I'm watching the Cubs/Cardinals game and anxiousl...
