Lookin kinda grim for Cubs fans.

At this point they have to take it one inning at a time. That's the way you get back into it.

Lol. One inning at a time, they still lost Game 4.

Sorry, I forgot the part about "winning" the innings Yeah, that's important.

Great game last night. Game six is next. I always like the series to go seven games.

[JCN]

I have a feeling this series just might go to seven games. With Arrieta pitching on Tuesday the Cubs have a great chance.

[JCN]

And like I suggested yesterday... Arrieta turned in a decent performance, the Indians 3 man rotation gave up some runs, and we are on to game 7!

[Sir Henry]

Great game last night. Whoever wins today will win the World Series. Baseball at its finest.

[DWD445]

The Indians looked not their best last night, but they got better pitchers tonight
Hopefully they can hit the ball too !!

[JCN]

That's the issue. They need to come up with a few runs.

[JEBar]

until this series, I haven't watched a pro baseball game in several years .... I've enjoyed the games and can't help but pull for the Cubs .... looking forward to tonight's game

[JEBar]

great National Anthem .... game 7 is now on tap

[Whaler]

Still hoping that the Cubs can bo it.

[JCN]

Indians can't put any runs on the board.

Strike zone is wildly inconsistent for (for both teams)

And rain!

And to the tenth and out comes the tarp!!
Who'd a thunk it

[Coach]

I have a Cubs tarp story for you guys...

2014 We followed the Giants on a road trip and caught a game at Wrigley field.

About the 5th inning it started just pouring down rain. Not just rain but the heavens opened up. Everybody ran for the concourse or wherever they could find cover. We landed right outside the stadium under the little overhang by the main entrance. The concourse is old and started flooding about 8" deep with rivers of water flooding over our feet and out onto the street.

So back to the tarp....Well the field crew was lame and put the tarp on only 2/3 of the infield. So much water fell on top of it that they couldn't get it over the dirt and the field flooded.....Game and story over.

Back to the game 7-6 Cubs.

Cubbies
2016 World Series Champions

[Sir Henry]

That was one of the best World Series games that I have seen.

[RanchRoper]

Are the Blue Jays out?

Truthfully I don't follow baseball normally but I did catch most of that game last night. I read a quote one time but don't recall who said it but I believe it's true.
"Sports provides us with vivid examples of excellence."
