Huge win. Congrats and surprised no reverse jinxes late.

Ump terrible in game 1 and 3....my biggest fear though lies in game 6....one of the worst umps Fat Joe West will be behind the plate.

Another fear if I were a Cleveland fan.....Kluber winning and going up 3-1....and two games including game 7 at home.

STORY of this World Series so far:

Indians pitchers have been impeccable at pitching to the game plan and dominating Cubs high in the zone.

Very odd to watch all season and as soon as postseason began pitchers are living high in the zone and no one can hit it. Love watching pitchers miss where they are supposed to and not over the plate. Fucking Reds smh

So much for the wind blowing out! Nothing remotely close to a HR, great pitching on both sides.

Is Santana a better first baseman than Napoli?

The shit talking ads FOX 8 has thrown in before/after the games is hilarious... they had a billy goat curse one before the game, and just had a Family Feud parody where the #1 response to "top romances" was Buck and Schwarber with 96 out of 100 responses lol

I don't think Miller is going to kick anyone in the nuts and get suspended for game 5.

Wrong thread I know but I feel bad for the 50+ year old ones. The 30 year olds sitting in the front row can kiss it though.

There are SO many good things that could happen if the Tribe finds a way to finish out this series, but I'll post on that if it happens. I refuse to be an asshole jinx.

No, Santana isn't terrible, but Nap is better. Nap has been above average (at least it seems) this year.

13 hits in the game, only one EBH and it was a wind blown foul ball.

Also, what a year, regardless.


Guaranteed:
1. Tribe never lost 4 in a row all year
2. The last game of the World Series will be played at "The Jake"
