gftChris Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 It seems sports in cleveland are zero sum - if the cavs or indians win, the browns will suck monumentally to make up for it. With both winning, we're probably in for a decade of 0-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Cubbies 3-2 win at home with Jon Lester, that might have been their last best shot in this series. Well at least their fans had something to cheer about, the first World Series win at home since 1945. And...... SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS This is the 65th time the World Series has stood at 3-2. Of the previous 64 times, the team with the 3-2 lead has won Game 6 on 25 occasions (39.1 percent), and that has been the case in seven of the past 12 instances. WHAT'S NEXT Indians: Josh Tomlin was on the mound for Cleveland's clinching win in the American League Division Series, and the right-hander will get a chance to close out the World Series in Game 6 on Tuesday night at Progressive Field. In Game 3 of the Fall Classic, Tomlin silenced the Cubs over 4 2/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.76 in the postseason. • Tomlin can deliver Tribe clinch at home in G6 Cubs: Jake Arrieta, who won Game 2, will make his fourth postseason start and second at Progressive Field on Tuesday night. Arrieta limited the Indians to one run on two hits over 5 2/3 innings, striking out six on Wednesday. He was 11-3 with a 3.59 ERA in 15 starts on the road this season. GO TRIBE!

mjp28 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I just checkled the Game 6 and Game 7 odds and believe it or not the Cubbies right now are slight favorites in both but the Indians are still favored to win it all with their 3-2 lead in the series. We'll see if those numbers move before Tuesday, sounds like some confused bettors! ODDS TO WIN 2016 WORLD SERIES (11/2/16) (vegasinsider.com) Team Odds Cleveland Indians 5/12 Chicago Cubs 2/1 <--- up from 3/1 after the Game 5 win. So there you go..... GO TRIBE!

mjp28 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 History will be made in Cleveland this week. This much is guaranteed as the World Series picks up at Progressive Field tonight in a must-win for the Cubs and might-clinch for the Tribe, just like Sunday night. Except, this time, they'll take the field in front of a fired-up, frenzied collection of Cleveland (and Chicago) fans who've waited their whole lives for the pot of gold at the end of this gut-wrenching rainbow. But what is undetermined is whether the history will be "merely" the end of a decades-long drought or if the end of a decades-long drought will be accompanied by a side of comeback magic. Game 6: Tonight, 7:30 p.m. ET air time | 8 ET game time on FOX The Indians, who are sending a short-rested Josh Tomlin to the mound opposite Jake Arrieta, are a win away from doing what they haven't done in 68 years. If they can convert just one of the next two at a park where they've played absurdly well this season, they'll reward their fans with the home clinch that not even the Cavaliers accomplished in their thrilling finish in the NBA Finals. The last time a major sports championship was won in the city of Cleveland was Dec. 27, 1964, when the Browns beat the Baltimore Colts in the NFL Championship Game. "We did what we had to do [in Chicago]," first baseman Mike Napoli said. "We put ourselves in position to try to win it in a crazy atmosphere, you know?" The Cubs, meanwhile, are two wins away from not only ending their 108-year curse but also upending the Indians much the same way those aforementioned Cavs took care of the Golden State Warriors. The 3-1 hole Chicago faced going into Game 5 was daunting, but now, in the wake of a Wrigley Field win and with Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks lined up for Games 6 and 7, respectively, and Kyle Schwarber back in the lineup with the designated hitter in play, it is less so. And the Cubs know it. "We're writing our own history," shortstop Addison Russell said. "We're making history. Why stop? This is entertaining to us. It's fun, and we live for this." Chicago might very well live to see another day if Arrieta, who has had command troubles at times in this follow-up to his 2015 National League Cy Young Award-winning season, is as on point as he was back in Game 2, when he was unhittable into the sixth inning and wound up allowing just a run on two hits over 5 2/3. This time, the weather won't be nearly the factor it was in a frigid Game 2, as the report was calling for temperatures in the high-60s to low-70s, perfect for a guy who played his high school ball in Plano, Texas, and in college at TCU. "I just want to execute with quality in and out of the strike zone," Arrieta said. Tomlin executed especially well in the Tribe's Game 3 win at Wrigley, commanding his curveball and flummoxing the Cubs down and away. It was, by design, a brief outing, cut short at 58 pitches, because the Indians didn't want to overtax Tomlin in the event that he had to make this start on three days' rest. The Texan, who has a 1.76 ERA in three starts this October, is the X-factor that has allowed Cleveland's rotation to survive without Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar. "The body's feeling good," Tomlin said. "Everything's feeling the same as it did last start, so hopefully that bodes well for me." And then there's Andrew Miller, whose presence in these postseason games always merits mentioning. He didn't get used in Game 5, so he'll be well-rested in time for Game 6. And you can count on Tribe skipper Terry Francona to be quick with the Tomlin hook if the Indians take the lead and the 6-foot-7 Miller can give them length. The twist now is that Chicago manager Joe Maddon is utilizing Aroldis Chapman in a similar way. Chapman got the eight-out save in Game 5, and Monday's off-day will put him in position to possibly be counted on for another lengthy turn. "When you have a guy like that," said Maddon, "that can pitch that many significant outs in the latter part of the game, it's pretty cool." Guess what? This Series is pretty cool. Storylines -- and historical significance -- abounded coming in, but sometimes the hype doesn't materialize into reality. But this Series has been extended to a sixth game. The Cubs are trying to revive themselves with last year's NL Cy Young Award winner and one of this year's top NL Cy Young Award candidates in succession, and Schwarber, who is 3-for-8 with a double and two walks after his unexpected World Series return from reconstructive knee surgery, is back in action. The Indians are equally encouraged by the fact that they have, in their back pocket, Game 7 starter Corey Kluber, whose 0.89 ERA in five starts has him playing the part of new October legend in the making, should it come to that. We don't know if it will come to that. We don't know which one of these clubs is going to make history. We just know that one of them will, and it doesn't take a (Game) Sixth sense to know we're on the verge of something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
