Cubs vs Indians 2016 World Series Discussion

[FrozenRopes]

Great to see these two teams compete. I think the Cubs roll them in 5.

[Waylanderz]

I got the Indians in 7

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Is Salazar back?

[Spanky99]

Is Salazar back?

 

Francona hinted at it being possible, same goes for Schwarber with the Cubs.

 

I'm hoping this WS goes long... 7 games, with the Cubs edging out the Tribe in extras.

[Krylian]

Go Cubbies

Odd coincidence? Creator of Cubs 'curse' died on Oct. 22, Cubs win pennant Oct. 22

 

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs have won the pennant for the first time since 1945, and now they'll endeavor to win the World Series for the first time since way, way back yonder in 1908. What's behind that? Cruel randomness, serialized misfortune, and occasional lousiness. Mythos, though, would have it that something darker has prevented the Cubs from reaching the pinnacle of the sport for lo these many years.

 

As you're surely aware and has been amply chronicled every time the Cubs do anything of note, William "Billy Goat" Sianis, a Greek immigrant to Chicago and tavern owner of some local renown, cursed the Cubs when he and his pet goat were refused admittance to Game 4 of the 1945 World Series at Wrigley Field ...

 

The story goes that Sianis was so miffed by this treatment that he declared the Cubs would never again win the World Series. In one of the great causation-correlation errors in history, that has indeed been the case.

 

As long as we're indulging in the nonexistent and the supernatural, let's point out something -- two things, actually. On Oct. 22, 2016, the Cubs clinched their first pennant since around the time of Sianis' legendary tantrum.

 

Yep, Billy Sianis, author of the curse, passed away 46 years ago Saturday night -- the night the Cubs won the pennant.

Rooting for the Cubbies, but betting on the Indians.

A real shame we can't see game 6 and 7 played at Wrigley Field simply because of some stupid Allstar game

Hopefully the final game with be at Wrigley when the Indians sweep them.

[FrozenRopes]

Bartman has all his fingers and toes crossed...

[HERPDERP]

Schwarber is going to become a legend

[Plat]

Cubs in 6

[Captain Adama]

I want to see the Cubs win so there's potential for Grant to go apeshit.

[Mittens87]

Will the Cubs fans take back the forgiving of bartman after they get swept?

[polar bear]

Cleveland in 7 for me.

[Mittens87]

Read an article the average secondary ticket for game 3 is $6,000? Can't be right? How much are the tickets actually buying from the team? Imagine the team actually making $300,000,000 at the gate from one playoff game. Even if tickets are averaging at $800 for season ticket holders or whoever else, the playoff shares would be affected by Cubs charging so much for tickets right ?

[EdwinsParrot]

I honestly see the cubs rolling and winning in 5. But a good 7 gamer would be exciting.

[Dr. Dinger]

Cubs in 5

[Mittens87]

Are members allowed to bet with each other here? Anybody want to take a bet that Indians win from me? What's the odds like +160? If there is any reputable mods or something to escrow money to?

The Indians are winning so it's fitting that 6 and 7 would be at home
