Would've been okay with a sweep but A) Finally a thriller and 2) yay more baseball.
I didn't see the first two games live because I was at a fooble game with AFW so I might have missed some excitement but judging by the announcers' recaps, they felt like the Rays gave away chances, especially in game 2, and so game 4 was the first one that they played solid ball. And that caused some tightness in the Brewers that led to a couple of errors? Anyway it was a fun game and hooray, more baseball!
Havent been watching this world series but did tune in when i saw that it was extra innings last night.
Those announcers are awful especially all the celebration of a Brewers victory in the top of the 12th!

There will be a new World Series champion for the first time in a while. Iâm torn by both. My cousins are all live in the Tampa area, but I have always had a soft spot for the Brewers.
The interesting thing about the Brewers is that they have (I believe) trailed in every game in the post-season...including all 4 Dodger games. They are a very good, very likeable team.
They did trail in all games except Game 4 against San Diego. And in Game 3 against the Yanks, they did go up 1-0 before trailing 2-1.
Apparently, this is the first time in MLB history that a team gets a sweep revenge against the same team that swept them the year before. It has happened 4 times before, twice in the NBA and twice in the NHL. And this is the first time it happens in two best-of-seven series.

As much as I don't want them to win, I also don't want the Dodgers to not come with their A game. It's so much better when both teams have to sweat...
The Phillies season ended with a 6 game home stand that had the Brewers and the Rays in town. It was fairly obvious then that either the Phillies were going to have to get very hot with the bats very quickly, or they would be out early.
Both the Rays and Brewers play hard, smart, and fundamentally sound. They will play small ball, and keep at you during all 9 innings. They are tiring, to the point of being almost boring.
To your point about sweating it out... the great thing about baseball is the pressure you can place on the other team, and how that can massively adjust with every single pitch. Every fan over 30 has dealt with their own team "stealing a win" and "giving one away".... sometimes in the same inning. It makes baseball the most electric playoff sport going (with a close second to OT playoff hockey). The pressure is so much greater when the clock isn't driving decisions and actions.
Anyway... I'd love to see the Dodgers come back and lose it by one in the bottom of the 9th of game 7, but I'll take a bit of boredom right now and hope for something more in the Series.
