Wind is blowing out!
and we're ready to go! Let's have some fun!
@Commentators
Funny... perception is everything. I thought the conversations tilted towards Cleveland! (But, then again, I turn it off whenever Rodriquez or Rose are talking. Can't they find some broadcasters that weren't big, fat cheaters?)
Given Cleveland's magnificent play, they are due any admiration from the booth. They have been doing everything the Cubs were doing -- before the Series. Congratulations on some fine, fine baseball! Last night's game was hard to watch. Kluber was amazing again, Miller also (I was surprised they left him in so long, though.)
My last observation today -- Bill Murray was a disgrace and an embarrassment.
Here's hoping the boys can win at least one at Wrigley!
@Cubs vs Indians
Another great game last night, happy that Cubs fans experienced a Wrigley victory. Classy teams are always fun to watch.
I agree to disagree re. Bill Murray. He bleeds Cubbie blue and was just trying to add some levity to a tough game.
Here's to a seven game series, and may the best team win.
@Bill Murray
I would've been ok with Murray if it had been the second or third night of the games at Wrigley. Or, if he had stuck to a "straight" imitation of Harry Carey. But, I thought what he did was lacking in class and respect for the occasion.
I mean, for goodness sakes, people are visiting their parents and grandparents graves !!!
As George says, opinions may vary.
What once seemed hopeless, now seems possible. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Seems silly to be so heavily invested, but I'd *LOVE* to see the Cubs win (I've already told my wedding day story.)
@Bill Murray
what dd I miss? I watched every pitch on Sunday night and didn't hear or see him saying or doing anything at all, other than the incessant camera shots. Was it Saturday night? We were in the air on the way back home and missed the game.
Regarding the announcers...they are such front runners. Whichever team they perceive has the edge gets undue accolades. it's goofy.
Other than Harold Reynolds...the man knows his stuff and seems to be very impartial. I wish we'd get more of him and less of Rose. Different networks, though, I think, so that won't happen.
GO TRIBE! great series, great team, great story no matter who wins but I'm all-in for the Tribe.
Cubs: From Hibernation to A Hyper Nation
Ahh, life can be so bittersweetSmelling peanuts and dogs all beef
Star gazing at the feats of feet
Listening for the crack of bat
Savoring tastes of Cracker jack
Where is the bitter, you might ask...
Pennants ain't a given back to back.
So, Go Cubs Go!
@Ernie Banks
to paraphrase Ernie Banks..."Let's play seven" ?????
may the best team win....
Hey, Chicago! Whaddya Say!?
Cubs are goin' to WIN today !!!
Oh, what a game. What an INSANE game. There are fireworks going off all over my neighborhood. I *love* fireworks!! WHAT A GAME !
Whoo Hoo !!!
The fat lady sang!
Congratulations on shaking the curse: 108 years was way too long for the Cubs faithful fans to wait. As a Cleveland native (I moved away in 1975) the goat is now counting 68 years. 2 years ago, in 2014, the Royals lost the Series at home, unable to get to Mad Bum; however, KC took it all in 2015. Maybe next year for the Tribe!!
@singing
I'm not fat, I'm fluffy! :-)
But really. That was some seriously good baseball. It was a difference of only one more hit, right? A hit from Martinez, and the story has a completely different ending.
All is well in the Cubs universe when Kris Bryant is smiling. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/794048351029329920
cubs-tribe
great series. cubs deserved it but tribe was tough..hung in there with their probably best player (Bradley) out, and #2 and #3 starters hurt. No excuses thou'..cubs played well.not a native clevelander, but lived there 20+ years, and raised my kids there (now in Tx), so I have a very special place in my heart for Believeland.
WFNY again.
go browns
@ms. fluffball and mkav
Had no vested interest in either team, however it was the best 7 game world series in a long, long time. Living in the Buff, the other mistake by the lake I really feel for Cleveland. Hell, my Bills broke me in 1994 after 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses. I have to say, since then I have become indifferent to sports in general. Attending FTW in the Windy City (with both of you) gave me a real appreciation for Chicago and all it has to offer including the people, they were amazing. The Cubs were the "better" team when it was all said and done, but the Tribe held their own, and have nothing to be ashamed of.
Go Bills and Browns
;-)
Fast forward to Sept 2017: Windians!
Let's Go Tribe!... 22 straight wins. KC ahead now in the 6th: could this be the end??!!
this is the end
They could not pull it off last night, but it was an amazing run. Fans gave the team an extended standing ovation after the game. One national sportswriter wrote he had never seen anything like that after a regular season loss. Neither had I.
It will take a lot to beat the Tribe. Dominant starting pitching; amazing bullpen; power and clutch hitting throughout the lineup; well above-average defense; strong bench; great manager and fantastic team chemistry. Maybe we should declare them the champs now? :)
Back home again
Kluber is on the bump for game 5 today: the Yankees counter with Sabathia!. Let's do it Tribe!
Astro here too
Maybe a corny reason to root for a team but am pulling for the Houston Astros's after the devastation there from hurricane Harry. Being a Red Sox I don't mind getting knocked out by them.
Found it!!
I knew we had a sports page. Time for the Leafs to slay the fkn dragon and make game 7 in 2013 a distant memory.
Jays and Raps not too bad either eh folks?
Help on the (fair) Way...
Any grateful golfers out there? What are your regular courses? Any bucket list adventures? I'm in West Michigan and love the golf around here! Arcadia Bluffs on Lake Michigan north of Manistee is an awesome experience!
Random fact: There was at one point three PGA golfers named Garcia, Weir and Hart on tour all at the same time! (Sergio, Mike and Dudley, respectively)

Nice to see the underdog pull it out. Happy for Cincy fans. Here's hoping for an entertaining Super Bowl. :-)
