Cubs have Arrieta on the mound tonight.

I think it will be near midnight tomorrow before we are talking about who won the Series.

I’m a Tigers fan and would normally be pulling for the AL team but this year I’m pulling for the Cubs.

Cubs have won 3 games in a row 20 times this year. I say no way they lose tonight. Sunday’s low scoring win didn’t reflect the indications the Cubs are coming out of their offensive slump. Add Schwarber and the odds of a Cubs win are even better.

My favorite moment of this Series though is seeing the Cubs fans sing Go Cubs Go after game 5. They have waited so long to see the Cubs win the World Series game at Wrigley Field. That was Golden !

Go Cubs Go !

And the Indians have only lost 3 games in a row 4 times this year. 🙂
 
Don’t like the cubs (the goat curse can continue!)…and even though they beat my Royals nearly every game this season, I want Cleveland to win. Josh Tomlin is a very good pitcher. Don’t count them out yet! Plus, the Indians have a 68 year drought. I nearly always cheer for the AL team…(the one year I didn’t was 1997).

I also want baseball season over already…so I can count down to Royals spring training.

Doesn’t a 108-year drought beat a 68-year drought, though? (as if that’s how these things were decided). 😉

The only thing a team with a 108 year drought deserves us a 109 year drought.
 
I don’t really keep up with the MBL games, I’m just thrilled there is something in world news besides the election! :extrahappy:

That being said I am originally from Indiana and we have no MBL. So we would choose the Cubs or the Reds for our teams to root for. My family rooted for the Cubs. ;)😃
 
Well, it’s going to come down to tomorrow. I will be watching. I will either be happy with the result or I will never watch another game in my lifetime.

KC could get back in the hunt next yr and give us a challenge in the Central. 🙂 And since this season isn’t ending til Nov 2, Feb is just around the corner.

Depends on where climate change is occurring more. 🙂 It was 71 degrees in Cleveland on Nov 1.

👍 to your 1st paragraph. 🙂
 
And so, the curtain call of the 2016 season has arrived. Before the sun rises twice more in the East, one of the two longest title droughts in baseball will come crashing down. A glorious end to an epic season. There are no more reserves, no more future thinking. The strategems of both sides will be finally laid bare, and one will stand at the pinnacle, and the other fall from the precipice.

Three teams (Cubs, Indians, Umps) under the sky
Seven innings for fans to sit until the stretch is come
Nine innings for strikes and balls into the stands to fly
And one last time to face each other and cross the plate at home.

In the lands of Cleveland, where shadows lie.

One game to rule them all
One trophy to find them
One date with destiny here
And to history bind them.

In the lands of Cleveland, where shadows lie.

(Apologies to JRR for the blatant rip-off)

Save some of those runs for the next game.

Vs potential MVP Corey Kluber on short rest and a very well rested Andrew Miller and Cody Allen. The teams split the first 2 and then each won 2 straight. Fitting for this series to come down to 1 game.

A Cleveland nun, Sr. Juanita in Indians attire did bless Progressive Field on Tues before game 6. We shall see if a blessing can carry over to the next day. 🙂

Once the Cubs fans in Chicago sober up from the victory celebration, they can go vote several times. If they are not sober, they might vote for Hillary.
 
I just realized that the Cubs drought has been 108 years and 108 was the sum total of the “numbers” in the TV show Lost. Therefore, this has to be the Cubs’ year. 😛 😃

Yes, or a Kraken might erupt from a sinkhole in the outfield and carry all of them to Hell.
