Will the Cubs win? No, but it could go either way.
538 Forecast: 46% chance of winning

46% is a hell of a lot better than it was a few days ago.

I think that’s the point, no regionalism in dinner/supper. I suspect supper is used more by folks over 75.
BVSQuote Reply
My prediction is that Kluber doesn’t make it past the 4th inning. Either the Cubs bats or Francona will take him out. Then Miller Shaw and Allen. I think we can get to Shaw and we had baserunners against Miller.
BVSQuote Reply
One win away.
PFDQuote Reply
Whatever happens, I feel pretty fucking good about this team. They dominated for the whole season, and even when they looked down in the postseason, they came roaring back. While the 2008 team will always have a big place in my heart, I can honestly say this is the most fun I’ve ever had watching baseball. The 2016 Cubs are everything I’ve ever hoped the Cubs could be, and it’s just amazing to see.
All that said, I hope they crush the Indians into dust. It would be a shame for them to get this far and not finish the job.

I just think it’s cool that a championship comes down to having the best team in baseball involved, with two great pitchers on the mound. What a great season for MLB.

Fair enough. Seeing them be this good or close to it for many years in a row would qualify as “everything I hoped the Cubs could be.”

I heard Cliff Floyd on the radio saying getting out of Wrigley the other day was the best thing for this team. Escaping ridiculous pressure. In Cleveland there is no pressure; instead they hear fans telling them they suck which is a great motivator for hitting grand slams.

According to someone involved in the sports, Chapman available for 30-40 pitches. Lester for 2 innings.

Smokestack Lightning,
And Arrieta for 20 pitches.
Rondon and Grimm might as well go home.

Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
The Javy error wasn’t yips or being cute. The whole play was set up by the way the ball was hit, then on the last bounce it hit the lip of the grass. Addy had to correct on the fly at the last minute where he caught it; his flip was then coming from a completely different direction than what Javy was expecting. Just bad luck.
SKQuote Reply
Not that it matters now.
SKQuote Reply
This will be a five hour game.

I missed the grass bit. Even less to worry about then
