What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Brewers beat the Rays five to four last night and lead the World Series two games to none.

  2. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd look, they got here by sweeping the Dodgers four to nothing. The two-time defending champions. Gone.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSwept by a team that had never won a World Series, according to the notes.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that the Dodgers completing a very thorough title defense, and then handing the trophy over in an orderly transition.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOrderly? It was a four-game execution at a ballpark called American Family Field. I'm telling you, the most wholesome crime scene in sports.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIs it bad that the team that lost has the better colour?

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBlue is a fine colour. Moving on.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, if the Brewers can't lose at home and the Rays can't win away, that's a series.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo nothing, and it moves to Tampa Bay.

  10. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is exactly right. That is the whole series. I'm emotional.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Dodgers aren't out of it, Rex. They're just getting an early start on the offseason.
