Sad that Jays lost, but Choo got a run and Texas wins in a thrilling extra-inning game. :p

Kershaw is overrated. The poor Pirates humbled him twice this year.

Yeah, cause Odor's foot was off the base.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature.

Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde.

The Cubs need to win today. If they do, then I will be pretty confident about the series, because Arrieta is pitching on Monday, and then we will only need one more win after that, assuming he wins.

I'm slightly confused about this. He touched the base, before he took his foot off of it. Does that still count as not touching the base?

He didn't touch base at all before he was tagged, so yes, it doesn't count as touching the base.

Rough start for the Cards, they're trying to come back, but I fear it may be too little too late.

Spoiler fail... xD

Also, my prediction on the Dodgers against Cubs might be wrong, since Grienke isn't doing to swell...

Dodgers seriously need a guy like Ryu back. He is the only one who can win a game against formidable opponents like St. Louis, as shown in 2013 or 2014 NLCS.

Very true. I REALLY hope Arrieta pulls off a win Monday, and with all the momentum going the Cubs way, I think the chances are high. Maddon also stated he probably won't start Lester Tuesday, preferring Hammel, because Lester has pitched two times in his career, allowing 6 ER, 13 H, 6 W, 3 HR. Not good numbers.

Congrats Cub fans, well deserved win tonight. I think the Cards can surprise people and get some hits off Arrieta, but we're gonna need a gem of a game from Wacha.
