    Dodgers-Blue Jays Break Records, Orioles Make Their Managerial Choice

    The World Series has reached peak insanity — the Dodgers and Blue Jays went 18 innings in Game 3, breaking records and our brains in the process.

Plus: updates on open managerial searches (Padres, Twins, Nationals, Braves, Rockies) and the surprising departure of Antoan Richardson from the Mets.
