Nope, Sox are 2-1 up in a best-of-five. Next game at The Death Star. Potential game five decider at Fenway

So it'll be Boston or Houston against Milwaukee or LA in the World Series?  We'll be Boston for game 6 and 7!

Brewers now up 2-1.

Dodgers tie it again. Shaping up to be a good series

Sox win to go 2-1 up thanks to my old buddy* Jackie Bradley Junior

(*I had one brief conversation with him while he was still in the Minor Leagues, so I'm claiming credit for all his subsequent success)

I'm restricted to watching 15 minutes or so highlights on You Tube which always make the games look good.
What never fails to impress me are the exocets the fielding sides always appear to be able to throw.

I agree and is one of the things that won me over.   Just the routine throws from third base to first, which they can also do off-balance or on the run are really quite something under that pressure.

BTW - Sox up 3-1 now after a wild one last night.

This comes from many, many year of "having a catch" with your dad/brother. One of the best parts of Field of Dreams:
