The Cubs Have A Smaller Chance Of Winning Than Trump Does

It will be hard for the Cubs to come back from this 3-1 deficit. As the Cavaliers taught us earlier this year, a 3-1 lead isn’t insurmountable, but Elo rates the Cubs’ the total chance of winning the Series at a measly 15 percent. (That’s a smaller chance than FiveThirtyEight’s election forecast model currently gives Donald Trump to win the White House.) But if Chicago is going to have any chance of a Series win, they’ll have to awaken their bats in Sunday’s game.

Figured it was only fitting to post this one tonight...

[Rembrandt]

Well, it appears that author Arthur, Kluber and Hillary have one thing in common - they’re all losers!

Rove is probably still saying the Cubs lost.

USD/MXN Mexican Peso Under Pressure as Trump Rises in Polls

“The peso is trading at a four week high on the increased probabilities of a Trump presidency.”

The Cubs won. I guess Trump has a 100% chance of winning too, but that’s only before fraud is included in the count.

[Repeal 16-17]

Hey FiveThirtyEight, you blew your World Series forecast. On Tuesday, your election forecast turn out the same way. Stop predicting, just let the contest play itself out.

Great game.

No BLM bull-crap and I never once heard the filthy name of Obama.

[Pining_4_TX]

Sounds good to me.

[Flycatcher]

When Trump wins, this should FINALLY be the end of Nate Silver's credibility.

I can imagine this moron playing strip poker with a bunch of hot chicks, and with his "skill" in reading the polls, he'd end up buck naked while all the girls are fully clothed.

CUBS WIN. CUBS WIN CUBS WIN

Good gosh, Whatta Series . .. ...this is the stuff of baseball lore

And no, I didn’t have a favorite.......

[scottinoc]

Right? I am so amped up, and I don’t particularly like either team. What a series! And such a good week for Trump, and HilLIARy is in full Chernobyl mode (although no “ding dong the witch is dead” till Trump’s hand is on the Bible).
