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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
