Awesome weather with highs in the 70s on both days. I picked Cleveland in 6 but as a neutral observer a Game 7 would be unreal. Just look how good 2 years ago was with KC/SF

The Schwarber mentions are going to be 100 fold what they were the past 3 games...Cleveland winning will make it that much sweeter but Cubs winning it all and it's likely Schwarber will have earned his mentions.

Any of you going to be in stadium?

I have tickets for 7. Nothing for 6. Don't want to go and want to go to Game 7 all at the same time.

The Indians winning the Series in 6 would be 'Oh So Sweet' as I watch on TV. The Indians winning in 7...being in the building...would be one of those unforgettable memories that your grandkids can tell their kids. "You know son...the Cubs haven't won a World Series in 140 years (hypothetical year 2048) but they got close in 2016...lost in 7 to our Indians. Your great-grandpappy was at game 7...shame you never knew him...awesome guy.. big drunk. But he was there!"

I'll be down there for game #6.... I was hoping they'd win tonite and save me $1000, but it would be awesome to be there WHEN they win!


But it will probably be you TBone....Tomlin sucks and our bats have gone silent!

Most likely your grand kids don't give a shit, so they wouldn't ever tell their kids.

Not really confident considering Arrieta owned the tribe in game 2.

I'm hoping seeing him a second time will help. Also hope his control is off or it could be a long night..

I'll be at 6 with my mom, husband and friend and at 7* with husband and two friends. We got ours for $180/ticket. Excited and petrified all at the same time.

*Well actually I hope I am not at 7.

I'd have to agree with you.....He's been outstanding so far in the postseason...but you gotta figure he's due for an off game

You've seen their lineup struggles and also Maddon struggling when to PH him. You go from facing a pitcher 2x and 2 PH (batting behind guys who cannot get on base) to facing Schwarber 4x immediately after their best OB% guys.

It's a significant factor and him not playing 3 games in Chicago is the reason you'll hear so much. Had he played 3 in Chicago and went 4/12....the talk would've died down.

Im confident we can hit Arrieta. Our bats have come alive a bit, and putting together good at bats throughout the lineup.

Just need Tomlin to continue pitching well, then turn it over.

Agreed and keys not throw Bryant any damn fastballs. He's proven all World Series he can't hit the curveball

At this point I just hope it goes 7 and into extra innings. Other than stanley cup playoffs OT, there is nothing more exciting in sports.

Could come down to what pitcher is getting the fringe part of the strike zone calls.

I think the Indian pitchers could 3 bounce a pitch up there and Baez would swing at it.
