All I'd really like from this World Series is for it to be competitive. Right now, we've got a tied-up series, which would seem "competitive," except that both the games so far have been blowouts. What happened to those one-run, extra-inning, walkoff affairs we saw all through the early rounds?
It would be nice to get at least one of those before baseball is put to bed for the 2014 season. Maybe that could start tonight.
Here's all the info you'll need for today's game.
