Lip Man 1 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Cubs were in the World Series. Seriously I thought I'd be long gone. Now I know how Cub fans felt in 2005, it's the "nuclear scenario." Even if the Cubs lose the series, to a certain extent they've already won...they've buried the Sox deeper into irrelevancy. It is what it is...nothing left to say but Go Indians! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Cubs in 5. The tribe are going to have to play pretty much perfect baseball to beat the Cubs. I'm just glad that the Cubs lost 3 games this postseason. At least us Sox fans can say we had the more dominant World Series run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Cubs in 4. Outscore Cleveland 28-0. Baez hits .600/6/14 and gets WS MVP. /jinx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm sitting here wondering how on Earth the Indians got home field advantage... .. and then I finally remember the All Star Game rules. Doesn't anyone think home field should belong to the team with the better record? Ah well, the Indians are gonna need all the help they can get. Plus, they probably had a much tougher schedule all year then the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Buy a White Sox World Champs t-shirt online right now to wear to work in case they do win it all. I am going to hear s*** all day about it and I want to be prepared. Wish there was a shirt that said 11-1 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) it's bad enough there wasn't a single Sox team in the playoffs while he was president, but now lots of idiots on the internet are arguing he's a Cubs' fan ugh...it's like the Sox don't even exist, and then all the politicians like HRC and Emmanuel will be fighting to claim to be the biggest fans too all that's missing is the obligatory Steve Perry, John Cusack, Eddie Vedder and Bill Murray appearances go Indians!...68 years and counting Edited October 23, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Cubs have a much better roster. I didn't watch any of the AL playoff games for some reason so I have no idea if Cleveland has been playing great baseball like the Royals did last year. I just don't see any weaknesses on the Cubs team. You know maybe if Schwarber actually gets activated that will screw up their chemistry or something. Other than that I think the Cubs will win it in five. They'll split in Cleveland and Cubs will win 3 in a row in Wrigley. I wonder why baseball goes 2-3-2 instead of 2-2-1-1-1 I guess homefield could matter. It is important. Cleveland's only hope IMO is if their fans really do throw the Cubs off and Cleveland wins the first two then takes one in Wrigley to go up 3-2 heading into the final two in Cleveland. If the series opens 1-1 or 2-0 Cubs, forget it. Cubs starting pitching is pretty damn good. I can't believe many thought a team with 1 starter, Kershaw, would beat the Cubs. Rich Hill? Please he'd have gotten lit up Sunday. Edited October 23, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
