                      -- HOLY CRAP, EITHER THE CUBS OR THE INDIANS ARE GOING TO WIN THE FREAKING WORLD SERIES

"CLEVELAND -- All right. Take a deep breath now. Try to take this all in. There is actually going to be a World Series between (caution: the surgeon general advises you to inhale here) the Chicago Cubs and (please exhale slowly here) the Cleveland Indians.

And no, not on your PlayStation. Not in another raucous production starring Charlie Sheen. On this planet. The one we live on.

So let's attempt to think this through. If that's really happening, then best we can tell, that means that in a week or so ... HOLY CRAP, EITHER THE CUBS OR THE INDIANS ARE GOING TO WIN THE FREAKING WORLD SERIES."

"Imagine that. The Chicago Cubs, America’s saddest-sack sporting franchise, the one that had carved its identity in a mountain of failure, had beaten the Cleveland Indians, 8-7, in a 10-inning, 4-hour and 28-minute display of sporting beauty that frayed the nerves and palpitated the hearts not just of the two cities that lived and died with every run scored but a nation reminded why baseball is the national pastime. It may have been the greatest game ever played in what may have been the best World Series there ever was. Even if others care to stake their claims, the Cubs and Indians brute-forced their way into history. This was the most anticipated series in ages, and it exceeded each and every one of its expectations, most of all the game that started Wednesday and bled into the early hours of Thursday."
