Will the games be rigged?
Will the losers accept the result?

Ok here goes. If the Cubs win the series I will never watch another game as long as I live. Including with my children. Baseball has been in serious decline and I’ll jump on the conspiracy bandwagon that it’s no coincidence that during a time of no superstars, sagging ratings that the two teams that embody losing have suddenly stepped up in the vacuum of talent and are the best that the sport has to offer.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west and the Cubs lose. This is the way of life. That suddenly a storyline comes along that gets interest from non baseball fans during this time of decline, coupled with the absolute dirt that the mlb and its players are capable of this reeks of rigging. And if not rigging just everyone losing thier minds over a Mediocre team suddenly being a champion would be laughable if it weren’t so blatantly sad.

There is another connection that goes way back. The last time Cleveland won, their player-manager and league MVP was the Hall of Famer, Lou Boudreau. He was a Chicago native(Harvey, IL), and briefly Cubs manager, as well as long time Cubs broadcaster on WGN radio. He was also a wonderful man and strong Catholic who spoke at our parish school’s athletic dinner for free. Not many Hall of Fame members would do that.

No mention of Jack Quinlan, arguably the most exciting radio broadcaster of all time, whose career ended tragically in 1964/5?

Well tomorrow Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta does have an opportunity to reign in the goat. And he is facing an Indians pitcher who practically blew his thumb off the other wk playing with a drone. Go figure. 🤷

He was playing with his drone and cut his finger from what i heard. They didn’t wait long enough for the stitches to set and he broke them open, causing blood to gush out.

Go american league team! (Being a royals fan, i know how hard it is to get a hit against kluber, miller and cody allen)

----never cheers for the NL team…even if they have a 108 year old drought. (Marlins in 1997 was one exception since i wanted the ToH simpsons episode airing before November)

Good catch! I was so put out with him since he knew his team was short on starters as it was. His pinkie is back for another try tonight. We shall see. But one is still out. And another is back for the Series but not at full force. Might only work out of the pen.

👍 Other than that 97 thing. Actually my sister and niece who were also raised in OH, were rooting for the Marlins too that yr. They had a partial season ticket pkg to Marlins games that yr and went to a couple of the WS games. Caused a family rift but thank God they are back in line now. 😃
 
Congrats CAF Cubbie fans! The breaking world news tonight is you FINALLY won a WS game after 71 yrs! Now can you get over the goat. 🙂
 
I’m three games away from never having to endure another baseball game ever.

I will continue to pray for those three wins. Our choir director did not understand why so many of us were looking at their phones during practice tonight.

Even if you don’t care who wins, pray in case this really is the end of the world. It can’t hurt.

And crown it at the end if they win.

Anything short of laying gold, frankinsense and myhrr at the door of the Billy Goat Tavern!

(Goat can ride on the float with that crown in the street parade down Addison).

– Barring that maybe they can spring Rollen Stewart (the rainbow wigged John 3:16 guy) from prison with a “Meek Shall Inherit the Earth” poster.

The ideal outcome for Chicago would be for the Cubs to win the next three games so they can win at home. The taxes collected from the alcohol purchases for a week’s celebration would go a long way to pay off some of their debt. Not only that, but so many of the Cubs players are young that they would be in line for big raises and the income tax receipts would jump.

Reality check. The Chicago politicians would squander that windfall just like always. It’s in their DNA.

Hopefully, Cubs in 5.

That ain’t happening now. Cubs have to win 3 of 4 now and 2 of those would be back in Cleveland. What a pitching matchup it was for G3 and Josh Tomlin and the Indians pen held the Cubs scoreless. Would G4 vs Corey Kluber be considered a must win for the Cubbies now? If they lose to Kluber again, they then would need to win 3 straight including back to back games in Cleveland.
