While I'm not a fan of hyperboles, the World Series this year was incredible! Not only was the series incredible, the deciding game - Game 7 - may have been the best such game I've ever seen in the sport. It featured everything: Comebacks, coaching mistakes, rain delays, clutch homers, soon-to-be retirees making critical plays, exhausted pitchers attempting to give more than their capacity, unheard of players making a difference, and a team winning their first championship in 108 years. I'd like to tip my hat to all the players and coaches involved in this year's World Series.

It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...
I completely agree. A great World Series and the best Game 7 ever.
