...one way or another, one team's streak of futility ends tonight.

...both these teams deserves to win and neither team deserves to lose...they have both played well.

 

[totus44]

Cubs

 

[cagedlion]

I think this will be one helluva game 7. Sticking with my pick before the series began...........
Indians.

 

[Messiah717]

I have a feeling the Cubs take it.

 

[Lillie]

I would like to see the Cubs win although I have nothing against the Indians.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Touche to all the above. Love to see the Cubs win it all; and allow those Chitown fans a reprieve from the one and only thing the Cubs have been good at doing over too many decades, generations galore, ie 'breaking your heart'....

Chapman & Miller, quit the sight to see, in how each is being used in varying situations... May one or the other win this one, and so be it a Yanx touch on the 016 World Champs...

hope ya'll enjoy the game-

Tote might have to assault a Gastwirt to change the channel from: Der Mann in der hohen Burg (The Man in the High Castle), to- the Series....

...can't believe Maddon took out Hendricks, and I damn sure can't believe he brought in Jon fucking Lester in relief with a runner on 1st base...Lester can't hold runners because he can't/won't throw to a base.
...so Ross had to try to field a dribbler that Lester should have made....Lester then proceeds to throw a wild pitch that scores 2 runs...inexcusable.

I agree Ron, what the fuck was he thinking??? Well at least Ross hit a HR to get one back. Great game so far.

Yogi said it ain't over till it's over. The game isn't over but I'd say when your team blows a 3game to one lead, get to game 7 and your two best pitchers have shit the bed, I'd guess those may not be the best omens for the Cleveland Ball Club at this time.

 

[Messiah717]

Maddon's horrific bullpen management could now end up being the story.

 

[Majorball]

OMG

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Got called for a late supper, came back and looks like Chapman has joined the party from the other side, damn, as old Gomer Pyle would have said surprise, surprise!!!!!!

 

[Majorball]

Maddon's horrific bullpen management could now end up being the story.

I totally agree

 

[Mattingly23NY]

both team's deserved to win prior to this error filled game; not even counting mental errors by either or-

the sloppy play, and sloppy ball strike calls, and 4 total errors, easily make this one of the worst W.S. games in history, yet doesn't lack for excitement or heart attacks, shit-

at this point, neither team's deserves to win this one...!!! or maybe not???

 

[Mattingly23NY]

rain delay....

this one could wind up being a marathon; at least 'til breakfast is served, and the Sun rises....

both team's Pitching staff's are tired, dog tired, "last chance to look under the hood, the last chance texaco"

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Looks like Shaw is putting the nails on his teams coffin.

 

[Messiah717]

I can't believe they have me up late watching this but how can you not?

 

[Messiah717]

Well after 108 years we saw it. Who would believe? The Cubs win the World Series.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

wow, 24 hits, 15 runs, 2 out, bottom of the 10th-

I can't believe they have me up late watching this but how can you not?

tomorrow should be a National day off, .....this game's going to set a record for the most rolaids eaten during one game...

CUBS WIN-

 

[Messiah717]

Blowing a 3-1 series lead and dropping the final two at home is an epic choke by the Indians.

 

[totus44]

Theo just sealed his place in HoF.

...that's the other problem I had...I'm normally a fan of Maddon's but bringing Chapman in the previous game with a 5 run lead after he threw 42 pitches in game 5 made no sense at all to me...that's a total of 97 freaking pitches in 3 successive games, Chapman was wore out, and it showed in game 6, and it damn sure showed last night.

...the other head scratcher for me was having Baez bunt with 2 strikes in the 9th, and when the next batter stranded the go ahead runner at 3B I was then convince the Cubs had no chance...and when they put the tarp down I said f' it, I'm going to bed.



...but the Cubs showed a lot of moxy by coming back in spite of their manager's questionable decisions...they're a team built for many more post season in the near future. Like the Sox finally winning in '04 it gave them more confidence and it opened the floodgates for even more titles...I see the same for the Cubs.

 

[yankeesince59]

...and oh, I forgot...Labron James, fuck you.

 

[Lillie]

That was an awesome series, Maddon the Mad Scientist mismanaged the Bullpen but still wound up with the win. Congrats to the Cubs.

ditto 59, I couldn't of said it any clearer/better...!

...and oh, I forgot...Labron James, fuck you.

Your took the words out of my head, .... the showboating fkng shithead, flexing in front of the Camera like he's Lou Ferrigno. At age 65, Lou makes Labrat look like a girly man....

 

[yankeesince59]

...I'll probably watch some of the Cubs' victory parade today...I've read that though he is delighted the Cubs won, Steve Bartman will not be attending the parade.

...I don't blame the poor guy one bit.

...I don't blame the poor guy one bit.

Me neither, Bartman was just one of many interfering or trying to, with that foul ball....

That would be hell, to have to hide, eventually move away, along with death threats; or the scapegoat much like the Goat's Curse...

I'll be watching the parade with delight. The One Cub Fan I wanted to hear most from was Bill Murray. Fair to poor coverage, although his expressions of tears of joy, and champagne bath like a baptism were priceless at it gets...

But then what is necessary to say, when these deprived fans expressions say it all; and again fk you Lebron....

 

[yankeesince59]

...fwiw, I would not be surprised to see David Ross in a managerial role before long.
