Sarto Mutiny Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Brilliant scenes last night. Still can't quite believe they did it. It was never really in doubt but bloody hell those last couple of innings were tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Game 1 starts in about 6 hours - can't wait to see it and am strangely calm about the Cubs chances. Cracking matchup with Lester/Kluber as well. for predictions I'll say the Cubs in 5 - lose tonight then win the next 4 also, how the hell has Schwarber made it on the roster? Great story, but surely his bat won't be up to speed with a few days of prep in the Arizona fall league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens, though, I think it'll be a good series. 2 hours ago, SamuraiJock said: also, how the hell has Schwarber made it on the roster? Great story, but surely his bat won't be up to speed with a few days of prep in the Arizona fall league? Salazar made the Indians roster also. I think that once they get to the WS some players will just play through any injury, shy of a limb detaching from their torso. Brian Wilson's workload for the Giants in the 2010 postseason led to and injury-plagued 2011 and Tommy John surgery in 2012, and his career never quite went anywhere after that (well, he went the Dodgers, but that's effectively the same thing). Robb Nen was the same in 2002 (don't mention the monkey....), he basically ended his career trying to save game 6. There's multiple other examples of guys playing through whatever injury, just to get a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The world series makes you bi-polar. Yesterday it was curtains for us and last night was a must win, now there's absolutely bo doubt we will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuraiJock Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well done the Cubbies for keeping the season alive for at least one more game. Still playing very nervy, but squeaked out just enough and Chapman was awesome to close the game out. Back to Cleveland we go for Arrieta vs Tomlin - both were good already in this series but Tomlin in particular was making the Cubs look silly in game 3. Tougher ask for him this time though on shorter rest. Will the Indians start to play a little nervous in front of the home fans? They've looked pretty unshakeable so far. Cubs get to put Schwarber back in the DH slot which should boost the lineup, and i'd guess Chapman will get leaned on heavily just like Miller.

Sarto Mutiny Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Depends how Cleveland react to the pressure of the home crowd. I do fancy Arrieta in game 6, but the Indians pitching has been fantastic. If it goes to Game 7, I do worry about Klubot...but you never know...
