2016 World Series (Indians vs. Cubs)

[backwardsk]

I'd try to see if McAllister can finish this game.

Go Bauer, Salazar, Miller, Allen tomorrow.

Looks like they'll go with Miller tonight.

Francona is all about living for today these playoffs.

The goat wants out of its pen.

Is Cleveland really gonna do this?

Who had them Winning It All at the start of the year... anyone?

I am sure Cubs fans were ecstatic when they made the WS after 71 years. Potentially being swept and eliminated at home was probably not a scenario they envisioned.

But, baseball is a funny game...

Beats losing in the WC game with your best late game weapon on the bench.

Almost every Series there is one team that seems just a little bit off as if getting there was just enough and the other team looks like they all they want to do is keep winning games no matter if it is the Series or not. Cubs are the former and Indians the latter.

I get Lackey and Lester confused. Can you have a post season without one of them?

[Chavez Ravine]

That was a Chris Davis special to start the game off for Fowler.

Anyone just flash back to the 9th inning of the last game of the 1980 World Series?

I was about to ask if there is an anti-goat supernatural force? Apparently not. Lol.

I am old enough to have watched that series, but that also means that my memory is a bit spotty [emoji1]

I think the next to last out before the Phillies clinched was a very similar foul pop. Catcher Bob Boone had it bounce off his glove and Pete Rose dove in and caught it for the out.

A minute later, with two outs the Philly police lined the warning track with German Shepherds every 10+15 feet around the infield to keep fans from storming the field. Always wondered if Rose would have dove for the ball if there was a police dog right there.

Ahh yes. I remember the Philly police action, but I had forgotten the play that preceded it.

...three called strike outs for Bauer. I think all on fastballs?
