I watched almost the whole game. I can't remember the last time I watched more than 3 innings of baseball. Its cool to be part of a small group of people who saw the Redsox and Cubs pull it out

Was down in Wrigleyville last night. I don't care about the Cubs, and I don't even like baseball, but damnit if that wasn't one of the coolest things to be a part of.

UP 3-1,...HELLO CLEVELAND!

THi

This is a late reply by me, but I'd have to disagree with it being a choke job.

Indians lost two of their better starting pitchers (right behind Kluber) right before the playoffs started. They were able to get through those first two series b/c the pitchers mostly didn't have to pitch on short rest (only losing 1 game in first two series means short series and rested pitchers). With half the starting pitching rotation hurt, two series already played, and when the World Series got extended, the starting pitching rotation that was available was tired and it showed down the stretch. My two cents.

Cubs celebration is 7th largest gathering in human history.

For some reason it's not letting me post the link.

It's on Fox32chicago.com

A Northbrook woman who waited a 108-year lifetime for a Cubs championship died after it finally happened.


Mabel Ball, born the year the Cubs had last won the World Series, died Tuesday at Covenant Village of Northbrook.

"The cruel irony, the almost unbelievable irony, is that the person who waits and waits and waits, after it happens, says, 'I've done what I've got to do, and I'm out of here,'" her son Rich, 75, of Oak Park, said. "It ain't funny, but it's funny."
