You’d think I’d get it right after 18 years here...
Go Cubbies!! Lifelong fan here and I am 64. It’s been a long time coming. I think it’s all but over, we have more talent plus I think someone put a curse on Kershaw.
Play Ball!!

Just heard on the radio, Cleveland’s DH Carlos Santana will play left field in Chicago.
He had a great year — 34 homers, 99 walks. He alternates between lead-off (all those walks) and fifth (all those homers). Tito’s an unconventional manager.
Santana’s a switch-hitter, but only four of the 34 homers came from the right side.
From the late 80s forward, my husband always complained about the pitching...
GO CUBBIES, GO!!!!
Grew up a Montreal Expos fan but switched to Cubbies when the Expos went to DC. Dad and I laughed about how this is the first time the Cubs have played in a World Series in both our lifetimes and that he was only a few months old when the Indians last won a World Series in 1948.
This is obviously another indication that we are in the End Times! ;-) The Merciful Creator of the Universe has granted the Chicago Cubs fans one last chance before the world comes crashing down for ever. ;-)
Nice to see Schwarber back, the ball makes a sound coming off his bat that few other players can match.
This looks to be one of the greatest World Series in decades.
Jollas Honorary Captains 2016 World Series:
Cleveland Indians - Tris Speaker
Chicago Cubs - Ernie Banks
It is only a coincidence they are both from Texas
From a lifetime Yankees fan:
Go Cubbies
Go Joe Maddon
I thought I heard a billy goat.....
A few questions concerning line-ups, from someone who didn’t pay a lot of attention to either team. Why Coughlan (is Hayward just going to be a defensive sub, going forward)? Is Soler the regular LFer? Is Zobrist no longer the regular 2nd baseman? Is it now Baez’ job? Is Montero below Ross on the depth chart?
For Cleveland: I thought Naquin was their everday starter now? Is that not true? And who is their backup catcher?
Thanks.
Go Mariners!!
Oh, wait. The Mariners aren’t in the World Series. Again.
I want the Indians to win to keep Steve Goodman’s “Dying Cubs Fan’s Last Request” relevant.
They already screwed up one line:
“You know, the law of averages Says anything will happen that can,” that’s what it says,
“But the last time the Cubs won a National League pennant Was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan”

Got to root for the Cubs!
Well they shouldn’t have gotten that man’s goat.
They didn’t show any players during the national anthem. Hmm
