Hey! Hey! Holy Cow!
« on: October 23, 2016, 08:10:33 AM »
After 1984(Steve Garvey), and 2003(Steve Bartman), I thought I'd never see the day...

My first time as a young lad in "The Friendly Confines"... 1963 

It's been a long time coming...

LET'S DO THIS... CHICAGO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great series so far.  Pitching on both sides better then good.  If your an Indians fan or a Cubs fan you have to love this.

As always at the ball yard you pay through the nose for souvenirs and drinks.  Not to mention tickets at either field.

Series television audience if it reaches game 7 expected at this point to be the largest for baseball all time simply for the fact

that it is Cleveland vs. Chicago.  Both teams haven't won a World Series in a long time.  Cubs having to wait the longest.

Go Tribe!  (yep they weren't expected to get this far).

The pitching so far has been amazing! Indians have 5 shutouts this post season, most in history. I'm happy for both these teams. I wanted cubs to win, but my GFs family is from Cleveland, so I gotta play both teams. Can't believe Cleveland has a chance for an NBA championship and World Series. Something like 160 + years these teams combined haven't won a World Series. Im very happy with the Series so far. I use to pitch for about 15 years and took it very seriously. Love what I'm seeing so far.

Yep, great series so far. Personally, I hope it goes seven and that last game goes 16 innings  :evil:

I'm kinda pulling for the Cubs  :headscratch: (even if they did eliminate my Giants), but either team will be a worthy champion.  :cheers:

I personally want the Cubs to win. Then the Cardinals have no one to bash anymore  :D

One more win for the Tribe.  Bauer is pitching today I give the edge to the Cubs.  I haven't seen him pitch well this post season but anything can happen.

My bad. I should've never said I was pulling for the cubs.   :uhoh

The Indians looked real impressive tonight, if they play like that tomorrow night they'll fly home as champions.  :cheers:

Baseball fun to play but boring to watch. Never cared for it myself.

This match up is good for baseball.

Poor baby bears so far. Said from a Cards fan standpoint.   :devil

Even I cant bash the poor Cubs anymore, "Sox fan". But they blew golden opportunities this WS by not hitting crucial hits with runners on base. This series should be 3-1 Cubs right now with a little bit of hitting. They almost blew it last night too. Not good policy if your only going to get there every 108 years.

Well should they win it, and I doubt it but should they, at least it will be on the road and the riot wont be as bad. We had huge riots when the Bulls won.

I think you can attribute the Cubs lack of offence to the excellent pitching by Cleveland. The three man rotation might end up hurting Cleveland as the series continues, but for right now Cleveland has all the advantages.

They are going back to Cleveland now, they will be able to utilize the DH. Shwabber might bring some good hits. Cubs have a chance tomorrow with Arriata. I agree with the offence for the cubs. Their batting has been weak. They cannot afford another 4-6 run game against them.
