This List Needs To Be Longer

The list that I'm talking about is the list of teams in WS history to sweep Games 3, 4, and 5 on the road after splitting at home. It has happened only 5 times previously.
  • The 1941 Yankees vs. Brooklyn Dodgers.
  • The '42 Cardinals against the Yanks.
  • The '49 and '61 Yankees, vs. the Dodgers and Reds.
  • And the '83 Orioles, against the Phillies.
I honestly think the Yanks will win tonight. Score 2 runs early off Lee, do not let him get in a groove, and don't let up. Get AJ going like in Game 2. Get him to roll early and keep it going for 7, 8 strong innings. (*Mariano for 2 innings for the win?*)

I can smell #27, and I believe it's coming tonight.
