World Series 2016 Thread - Indians vs. Cubs

[soccerdad72]

Speaking of the outfield, I thought that Santana did an excellent job playing defense at Wrigley. I was hoping for a whole lot less .

Yeah, it was a little nervewracking watching him out there (and thankfully, he didn't have anything really difficult to deal with), but I give him credit for doing well out there.

GO CUBS GO

SO EXCITED!! And very sad that today is the last day of baseball ​

 

[sharona]

Whyyyyyyyyy!!!! Can't believe they took him out.

That wild pitch was INSANE. 2 runs scoring? I can't believe Hendrics was taken out.

Extra innings. I can't stay up to watch. Congratulations to which ever team wins.

 

[xjillianpaige]

oh well. its been real, guys.

Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

What a wild game! I am so proud of our boys for NEVER GIVING UP. You are indeed Champions. I'd also like to give a shout out to the Cleveland Indians. You did NOT make it easy.

Greatest baseball game that I've ever seen.

Cubs are World Champs.

My FIL called to let us know that he's still alive. He's 85 and not in the best of health. He's said that he wanted to live long enough to see this win

I agree, it was a great game, and the Indians did an unbelievable job, too!

I stayed up past 1 am watching this game. Well worth it! We aren't Cubs fans but we appreciate good baseball. Awesome game from both teams. Well deserved win!

My son stayed up too and watched it with us. I told him this is one of those games you'll tell your kids about.

Congrats to the Cubs - it was one hell of a night (and early morning) last night.

Off to get some more coffee...

There are going to be a whole lot of tired people at offices and schools around the country today. What a game!

Imagine if the Cubs lost. They city would have Madden's head!

Congrats fellow Cubs fans! Indians fans - here's hope for next year! (And I mean that sincerely - either team winning would have ended a long drought.)

I was convinced we'd find the ground disturbed where my grandfather is buried from his coming back to life to party.

I am heading to get some sleep but a tip of my lucky Cub's hat to Cleveland. Javy and Francisco's bond speaks volumes and WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. He almost blew it, IMO. They won that last game despite his moves, not because of them. Wasting his closer for 2 innings with a 5 run lead in game 6? The bunt with 2 strikes? Taking out his starter who was dealing and was under 70 pitch count (and had really gotten that 3rd out but just didn't get the strike call)? Bringing in Lester with men on base? Sending Chapman back out there when he was out of gas? Oh I was a lunatic talking at the tv and I'm not even from Chicago! I was wearing my fitbit HR and checked my heartrate during the bottom of the 9th it was over 90 bpm and I was just sitting there not moving. So stressful!!!

Joe explained his use of Chapman in game 6 by looking at it like Game 7. If the Cubs didn't win it in Game 6 , there would be no need for any pitchers at all for a game 7 that would not happen. I was worried, too, but I trust Joe. He knows what he is doing.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I trust Joe. He knows what he is doing.

So true. A real big reason, along with the team, that the Cubs are where they are tonight, World Champions.
