Interesting bit of trivia after today’s Dodgers-Jays game.  Today was the fifth time that a team that swept the LCS went up against a team that took 7 games to win their LCS.  After today, the sweepers are 0-5 versus the 7-gamers.

Another crazy stat from today’s game.  Addison Barger’s grand slam was the first pinch hit grand slam in WS history.

What college football team went undefeated, won their conference, was voted National Champ in the Coaches Poll and outscored their opponents 367-40 and yet did not go to a bowl. Why?

Note: they were not on probation.

Related… what college football team, coached by a former Stanford coach, went undefeated, untied, unscored upon, but was left uninvited to a college bowl?

Yup.  Colgate was unbeaten, untied, unscored upon and uninvited to a bowl (Pitt was invited to the Rose Bowl instead).

Well done Terry!
It was Randy Johnson's DBack teammate in 2001.
Schilling had 2 CGs vs. St. Louis in the NLDS, winning 1-0 in Game 1 & 2-1 in the winner-take-all Game 5.
In the NLCS, he went 9 innings again in a 5-1 Game 3 victory.
He gave up 11 hits, 2 walks, and 2 runs in those 3 games.
No CGs in the World Series vs. the Yankees, but he went 7 innings in Game 1 (a 9-1 win), 7-1/3 innings in Game 4 (a 4-3 loss), and 7 innings in Game 7 (a 3-2 win).  In those 3 WS games, he gave up 13 hits, 3 walks, and 5 runs.

Besides Rodgers, other active QBs with victories over 31 teams are Patrick Mahomes (obviously no wins over KC), Russell Wilson (Seattle), and Matt Stafford (0-3 vs. Pittsburgh).
Active QBs with wins over 30 teams are Josh Allen (Bills, Eagles), Joe Flacco (Ravens, Seahawks), & Kirk Cousins (Bengals, Chiefs).
