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.

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout. "This dog can speak English," he claims to the unimpressed agent. "Okay, Sport," the guys says to the dog, "what’s on the top of a house?" "Roo

To be honest I'm not much of an expert when it comes to the financial discrepancies that exist between different teams in the MLB. It amazes me that the Chicago Cubs can still be so profitable after s

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!!!

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.

Game 7 highlights ...

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.

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.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
