More importantly might be getting the strike 3 curve in the right spot to Russell and those after him.

If Russell goes 0-4 how does yesterday look?

I feel much better about tonight, but my anxiety is still off the charts. Either way, can't wait to be there.
I forgot about that, what a sack of shit.

I expect to be no hit tonight. Pitching sucks and bats have gone silent.

As I iterated the other day, I believe Chapman loses the WS. With being used last night I think that even more solidifies my stance.

Annoying and assholes because they paid a premium to watch their team in the World Series? Annoying and assholes because they cheered for their team in the World Series? Or annoying and assholes just because you didn't like sharing Progressive with them? Please explain.

Funny how an entire fan base gets constantly judged because they support their team on the road unlike any other team in professional sports....even when they're a 60-70 win team. Kind of like Buckeye fans...I would think people in Ohio would understand the frustration with fan base judgement more than any other state. Sorry, I'm just sick of reading negativity about Cubs fans...we have our bad seeds (as does everyone) and the bandwagon may be a lot larger...but true Cubs fans are some of the most loyal and energetic fan bases in all of sports.

On to Game 7. Best of luck tonight! One drought ends, another continues in about 12 hours....

It gives it a better chance. Fans of karma will be rooting for that.

I think Hendricks or Lester gives up the game if Cubs lose

He wasnt sharp last night, but many closers arent sharp in games where they are way ahead.

As for the game, I hate to say it, but I really think the Cleveland will be celebrating tonight. I've watched/listened to 98% of the Cubs games this year...and a lot of their "trends" for the season are continuing in this World Series. Bats exploded last night, ace on the mound tonight....I think a 2-3 run win (probably a shutout) is probable for the Tribe.

Francona has managed better than Maddon in this WS and tonight I think that is what does it. Hope I'm wrong, but it's my gut.

Can Kluber be successful tonight? I'm interested to see if he has enough gas to take down to bats of Chicago who seem to be heating up

I think Kluber shines again. He's the exact pitcher that the Cubs do not match up well against. Even if he's a little tired, if he's hitting his spots it's going to be a long night for Cubs hitters.

All of the above, plus there were some genuine assholes who were in people's faces all evening. One gentleman a couple sections over got thrown out, so I imagine there was some dickish behavior involved there, but who knows. I am sure there are a lot of great Cubs fans. Some of them in our section were just fine, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. Sports makes some people irrational. I am one of those people. I admit this.

You are the epitome of everything that is wrong with Cleveland fans. I've been to a good amount of road games for my teams and I've never been treated worse than by the sack of shit Cleveland fans. Lol it's funny because your teams usually suck so I never really cared about seeing Indians and Cavs fans at games

Also the Indians fans don't go to games or really care that much about their team anyway. You clearly had the best team in the division all year and averaged under 20,000 a game? I mean Christ the Marlins had better attendance than Cleveland and both DET/KC led the division with 12,000 more fans a game. I imagine tonight will be absolutely packed with Chicago fans

I concur. I have been at away games in Clev, Cincy, Indy, Detroit and Tennessee....by far the worst we ran into was in cleveland, but that is to be expected. Just look at all the sellout fans who are selling tix to Cub fans. (in all seriousness though.....I would legit think about selling a ticket as well for that much jack).
I have a chance to go and be on the field before the browns/boys game this weekend for 'work', and still debating if I want to make the trek there with all their asshole fans.

but back to the game, who cares about the fucking fans.

I just hope for a good, close game. Extra innings would be perfect. I have whom I would want to win, but in reality if they give us a great game 7 in this fantastic series, I dont even care who wins.

This series has been great for baseball.-

Well it is baseball so its probably the most boring sport outside of golf. I don't watch games during the regular season but I have watched almost every playoff game. I didn't watch last night past the 1st inning because once the 3 runs were given up I knew we had lost.

I trust Kluber a lot though. He's the best pitcher in baseball.

Marlins Man isn't going to the game because he's an attention whore who is mad that you can't see the seats behind home plate on TV.
