Excellent stuff. I had such a good time at Fenway earlier this year. Red Sox in a great position heading to LA. Predictions for the world series??

The Dodgers are too good a team for this to not end up being a close series.

I fully expect the series to go back to Boston so Risso can report live on events

So I’m 7 hours in and we’re starting the 18th inning. In that time I’ve also watched it in the gym whilst doing an 8klm treadmill run, walked the dogs and done 3 loads of washing. I’ve just opened a bottle of ‘Bird in Hand’ Sav Blanc and I fully expect to be wankered by the time this all ends. Started at 5am with the Villa and ending with this. 

Larry King looks about 120.

Dodgers home. 3-2. Sox blew it though butchering an easy out to 1st base earlier.

Which while a jaw dropping stat that’s fun and trending on Twitter , really should make MLB take a look at themselves.

Will be interesting to see who that game fecks up more. After about 12 innings it was definitely us, but going to 18 innings probably evened it up a bit more.

As for the length, well last night was 2 full games, back then more often than not they only used 1 pitcher, no replays and so on so to me it's not THAT shocking a stat.

They need to invent penalty shootouts.

At least it was an LA game that went 18, so it ended 3 hours earlier
