    Who ya got?

    The DREAM matchup would be Cubs/Red Sox.

    2 historic ballparks, Cubs trying to break the curse, Papi's last season, etc.

    Ratings bonanza.

    Also, Cleveland vs Washington would be a cool WS matchup.

    (Cleveland hasn't won since '48 and Washington NL franchise has never won).

    Post thoughts about MLB Post-Season here.:salute:

    my dream matchup last year was the royals and cubs in a world series,they are my two favorite teams so one would have bee assured of winning. since that did not happen,yeah that would be cool to see a red sox/cubs world series.only thing that could be better is if the red sox had not won a world series still then it would be a dream for me as well.

    the next best thing for me since my dream matchup did not happen last year is for the red sox and cubs to meet each other with the cubs winning it all.

    have no interest in the cleveland washingon matchup though.sorry.

    Red Sox are toast, Cubs looking good.

    Most likely Cubs v Toronto/Cle winner.

    I hate to say this but it looks like the Cubs are going to repeat history again starting tonight.The history they will repeat is when they won their first two games at home in chicago in 1984 then went to san diego and lost three straight.Here is why that will happen again. Tonight they face the Cyborg Baumgardner.He is not human,we are looking at another shutout.

    the next game they face cuoto.one freaking run wont get it done in SF.you cant expect Lester to throw a shutout AGAIN.He IS human.plus had that game been in SF,that homer that cubs hitter hit,is a routine out,it stays in the ballpark.

    then the next game of course they face the cyborg again which means another shutout.

    i feel better about tonights game.If they cant win this one,then the curse lives on. I thought they would have no prayer of winning.i thought that cuoto would be on the mound again so i did not give the cubs a chance. however they are facing matt moore so you would think they have a good chance with him against lester.

    Kluber is good, but he's not good enough to win three games. The Cubs more or less felt him out the first game. They looked at too many pitches. They'll be swinging next time they face him. The lefties will jump on that inside two seamer instead of watching it tail over for strikes on the inside black.

    This is really FUN!!!

    I am a HUGE Red Sox Fan and there are a number of former Red Sox on both Teams!!

    I think the Tribe will take it but no matter who wins it will be nice to see at least one of these two long suffering teams win he World Series!!

    Congratulations on your historic win! That was the best baseball game I've ever watched, and I'm a Red Sox fan. Gave me the chills after that last out. 108 friggin years!

    As Red Sox fans, we know what happens after a curse is broken :)

    With how you the cubbies are, they could be a power house for years to come.

    This is going to be an awesome year for you :)

    I can't wait to watch Goodell hand Tom Brady the trophy. I dream about it at night.

    YES!!!!!!

    I want to see Rocket Scientist Roger have to suck in his pride as he becomes Brady's, Belichick's, Kraft's and the Patriots B!TCH as he hands over the Lombardi/Belichick Trophy!! LOL!!

    But even better....watch Roger have to hand Brady the Super Bowl MVP Trophy and watch Little Rog have to do so while extolling the virtues of Brady's performance!!

    LOL!!

    OH BOY!!
