There's not much more that can be said about Madison Bumgarner after what he did in the World Series, but let's all agree that it is in the discussion for greatest pitching performance ever in a Fall Classic — right up there with two performances that involved the Twins.

The first was in 1965, when Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers pitched back-to-back complete game shutouts (the second in Game 7 on just two days of rest) to defeat the Twins in seven games.

The second, of course, was Jack Morris' 10-inning masterpiece in Game 7 of the 1991 series (and a 1.17 ERA in three series starts, too).

long odds World Series odds for 2015 are already out, per bovada.lv, and the Twins are one of four teams at 100 to 1, the longest odds in MLB.

good intentions Ex-Gophers WR Eric Decker tweeted (@EricDecker87) a contest asking why his followers loved the 1-7 Jets. It did not go well.
