Dont mind if either team win tonight, all i want is a great game. But with the way FOX, ESPN, and most of the media are basically ignoring the Indians for the great Cubs Story, I may be more ok if Cleveland wins tonight.
104? years. Gotta root for the Cubs. Also Bobby Murcer was a Cub at one point. Don't like the idea that a pitcher can pitch 3 of 7 games. TTTIIIIIRRRREEEEDDDD!
The Curse will be lifted courtesy of the Yankees .The last time a curse was lifted was when the Yankees announced the new stadium. The Sox won it that year.
Give Chapman a ring and a one way ticket back to the Bronx. Time for #28! Next curse to be lifted?-RU!
Cubs win and here are my thoughts as to why:
- they absolutely, positively, had to start hitting the ball and score runs tonight. They did. Yes, they're facing an "ace" tomorrow night in Kluber, but I'd rather face him coming off a night where you really have to feel good about how your lineup swung the bat and ran the bases then had you squeaked out 5-6 hits and won a 2-1/1-0 type of game tonight.
- NOT playing at Wrigley. Here me out. The pressure for them to win at Wrigley tomorrow night, if they were hosting Game 7, IMHO, would be almost unbearable. Like....a dropped fly ball or bobble grounder in the infield, to lose the game, unbearable stress. I think the players would start feeling the stress the minute they leave the stadium tonight. On the road, even though there will be a ton of Cub fans there again, a lot different (again, IMHO).
Cubs 3-2. Chapman goes the last 3 to pull it out. Ices arm for a week.
If I were an Indian fan, I'd be mighty uncomfortable with the current situation.It's like a home game for the Cubs.
It's like a home game for the Cubs.
The riots and car fires and mayhem will be huge!!
Hendrix stays in if I'm the manager
Like I said...no way Hendricks throws that wild pitch...Can't believe they took Hendricks out. Guy's pitching a great game - and that walk should've been a strikeout. Still, Cubs going to be tough to beat now, up 5-1, but the great thing about baseball is there is no clock, so comebacks are much more possible than other sports.
Damn there's A LOT of Cub "blue" in that stadium!
The riots and car fires and mayhem will be huge!!
Got to go with the cubbies. There are so many people I work with who would be devastated with a loss tonight. Productivity would definitely take a hit. I don;t know anyone personally who roots for Cleveland.
Per Elias, David Ross the first Cub to homer in both the 1908 and 2016 World’s Series.
Yup...stupidWow. Don't think anyone saw that coming. Talk about heartbreak if the Cubs blow this now after being up 6-3 with 4 outs to go and their closer on the mound. People will really question why Chapman pitched last night, which wasn't necessary.
I can't even imagine what a lifelong Cubs fan is feeling right now.
I've always thought Madden was a great manager, but there are some real head scratchers here. Aside from Chapman pitching last night, how do you have a guy bunting with 2 strikes? Do it in June, fine. Game 7 of the WS? Cmon.
