This year's baseball playoffs have been nuts.

And there's an amazing parallel between the Red Sox and Cubs, the 2 most cursed franchises in baseball.

-Both were 5 outs away from the World Series, with a 3 run lead and no one on base.
-Both teams had the best pitcher on the team pitching at the time. You could easily argue that Pedro & Prior are the best pitchers in their respective league.
-Both pitchers were controlling the game going into the eighth inning, but then collapsed and stayed in the game while their opponent came back.
-And for the 85th consecutive year, neither team will celebrate a World Series championship.
