BTW, Cubs are tearing it up.

Tomorrow's game 7 will be only the 37th time the World Series has gone the distance since 1903. A game 7 has happened every 5 years since the first 7 game series of this century in 2001.

Just a little obscure Baseball trivia for you.

Counting 7-game League Championship Series as well as the World Series, teams who trail 3-1 in the series and rally to tie the series 3-3 have then gone 12-5 in Game 7.

It was the 1979 Pirates.
