It is All Souls Day, so maybe to Purgatory?

It is that kind of year…

I think we could look at this differently. The numbers you are referring to are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42. Now which team has more of those numbers being used by starting players? That should determine who will win the series.

It probably wouldn’t hurt to look at player stats for hits, RBIs, batting averages, home runs, points scored, etc. to see where the numbers pop up more frequently as well. 🙂

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. 🙂

Paragraph 1. Good point. It seems Madden was critized for overusing Chapman the last two games. Not much left in the bullpen. So advantage Cleveland.

And it has been 108 years since the last Cubs World Series win… :manvspc:

And the 4 wins that it takes a team to win x 27 outs/ game = 108 + 108 yrs since the Cubs last won = 216 the Cleveland area code!

Don’t mind me. My motto is Always praise your opponent. You may need them to beat the White Sox next year. 🙂

👍 I’m out of state now and when in my attire I actually had a lady at a grocery store say to me, “I hope you win! I hope you beat the Cubs butts! I hate the Cubs!”. I figured either a Cardinal or White Sox fan. 🙂

That explains why the Royals won last year!

Alex Gordon - #4
Mike Moustakas - #8
Alex Rios - #15 (*no longer with team)
Paulo Orlando - #16 (though not a starter)
23 - Mike Jirschele, 3rd base coach
42 - not sure but they use that # on Jackie Robinson Day and Jackie Robinson broke barriers and the Negro Leagues Museum is in KC

So obviously using those facts, Cleveland will win because they are in the AL and the same division as KC. And it would be cool to have teams from the same division win two years in a row, which hasn’t been done since 1983/1984

Plus, in order to break the curse, the Cubs need to bring a shoe as pure as gold, a cow as white as milk, hair as yellow as corn and a cloak as red as blood. Have they done that yet? 😉
Two of the cubs pitchers already have WS rings (Lackey and Lester each have two).
 
I am a fan of droughts. pestilences, and/or famines as a general rule, so I am rooting for the Indians. Since my Orioles were one of three teams to sweep them in three games this year, I’ll of course be rotting thinking “that could have been us.” **

**If we had better SP, OBP, and speed on the basepaths.

Two words: WADE DAVIS

Though a lot of royals fans still have a grudge against the pitcher nicknamed THOR.

the mets will have their chance again…just not with the Royals, m’mkay. Ironic that neither of us were at full strength with pitchers this year…mets lost a few…Royals lost mostly bullpen.

I’m with ya, too, maxkolbe…I’ll root for the Indians…

I’m surrounded by chicago transplant cubs fans in my extended family, so i want the indians to win so it’ll be safe for me to wear my Royals hat and hoodie at thanksgiving (IF i go).

Well he did win the only game for the Mets of that Series by beaning a Royal batter and thus gaining psychological advantage. A tv commentator calling the wild card game against the Giants called him ‘mean as a snake.’
