The Cubs have come good!

All to play for tomorrow ... one curse will be over whilst the other will live on. 

Game 7's don't get any better than this one.

    I'm a 28 year Cubs fan and cannot wait for tomorrow. I haven't missed a Cubs post season game this year.

    I'm taking half a day off work to go home, crack a beer and watch it! They just need to hit their way past Kluber!

    GO CUBS!!!

    Feels awful as a Tribe fan, especially losing to a team that spent $70 million more on its roster by 1 run in Game 7. Next year I suppose.

    That was one hell of a series ... Cleveland fought hard but fell just short.  It's often a fine line between ultimate victory & despair.  Hopefully they'll get back to the big stage again sooner rather than later.

    The story was always going to be centred around the Cubs though and they finally broke their curse.  To come back from a 3-1 deficit was a grand effort.  Kudos.

    As Demons supporters, we know that feeling all too well. I'm happy that the Cubs won, but would really like to see a hard salary cap introduced into the MLB.

    Yankees get through in the AL after defeating the Twins today ... next up for New York is Cleveland.  My lads (the Redsox) play Houston.  Best of 5 in the first phase can be over very quickly if the road team doesn't win 1 of the first 2 games (or vice-versa)

    Over in the NL the Dodgers await the winner of the other wild-card playoff game (Colorado @ Arizona)  In the other DS match-up,  its the Cubs @ Washington.  

    I favour the Dodgers,  Cubs,  Yankees & Boston to get through to the CS.  Well, that's my ideal set of match-ups anyway.

    Nice start by the Tribe today. Back at it again tomorrow with Kluber on the mound.

    Dodgers through to the WS and we await the result of the Houston/Yankees ALCS for their opponent.  The MLB would almost certainly prefer an LA vs NY match-up but Houston is the USA's 4th largest market. 

    Game 6 in the ALCS and it's still scoreless (top of the 5th) ... the Yankees lead the series 3 - 2.  Sabathia throws for the Yankees tomorrow if it goes to game 7.

    Interesting to see after ending a 86 year bambino curse in 2004 the Red Sox have now won 4 World Series in under 15 years making them the most successful baseball team in the 21st century 

    Whilst not a huge baseball fan I’ve always had a soft spot for Boston as a team because of some the many similarities to the dees , notably the colours and also given their history and how they were waiting so long to end their drought of success for their die hard fans 

    we can only hope the mighty demons can follow and once the drought ends , the floodgates might then open again

    Well I'll take some sporting joy elsewhere anytime Dd82 ... the  Red Sox had a dominant season and were fully deserved victors.  I'm the first to admit that we have a salary cap advantage over many of our rivals but you've still got to get it done.

    The curse of the babe is well and truly a thing of the past now.  Hopefully our Demons can break our own curse (if it exists!) sometime very soon.

    All I’ll say is great achievement by the Sox. Hopefully Fenway Sports Group can now bring Liverpool a title!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
