I am glad that joe buck has all the knowledge from his playing days to keep us informed.

[Mittengirl]

Please God, no shots of Bill Murray celebrating.  Anyone else, yes, but I am so sick of him.

[King of Birds]

Strop?  Hoo-boy. Stay tuned, Indians fans.

Anyone with the over/under on the people that are going to die in the 'celebrations' tonight?

[ebk57]

Carl Edwards Jr?  Who?

[King of Birds]

The Red Sox led by two in the 10th in the Buckner game. The Rangers led by two in the 10th in the Freese game.

The gods demand a sacrifice of one for every game.

[twoods]

He's looking good so far. Wow 

[ElDosEquis]

But can THIS carl Edwards do a backflip from the car door?

There is no way Davis does it again, right?

Yeah but he's young and fearless- he's just pitching and not overthinking it. You can't help liking that (unless you're an Indians fan, sorry guys).

If this was little league we could stop the game to check his birth cert.

LOLOLOLOLOL, this is baseball.

[MargeGunderson]

Please just let it end! 

[ebk57]

It was fun while it lasted, Carl...

[caracas1914]

Dang you can't any tighter.

win, tie or lose with one swing of the bat.

[Maximum Taco]

So if the Indians somehow walk off here, Rajai Davis is never ever buying another drink ever again.

Right Clevelanders?

[Mittengirl]

Rajai, you're killing me.

[mojoween]

Mike Montgomery was throwing in the pen what feels like six hours ago.  Joe sure likes to take his time.

[ElDosEquis]

What was the line about how quickly fortunes can change?

[Miss Chevious]

This whole dang game is killing me!

[ebk57]

Woohoo!!!!!

 

When does Spring Training start?

[mojoween]

I'm not good at faking happiness when I hate the outcome (and Theo, can't forget about Theo), so while I can appreciate the feeling for the fans, especially after a drought, I'll catch ya in February.

Unless there is interesting hot stove news, of course.

Never mind. 

You're paying your own tab Rajai. 

[MargeGunderson]

HOORAY!

What an amazing game, and an amazing series. It's one of those rare times when you wish both teams could win.

My cats woke up after the rain delay and Chicago scored twice. You're welcome Chicago. 

[twoods]

Congrats Cubs fans. You can breathe now!

[ElDosEquis]

That baseball went right into his pocket, I see a ransom note in theo epsteins mail box soon.

[Bort]

Thankfully, it's over. Both the game and the Cubs' drought. So I can stop hearing about it.

[Magog]

The Billy Goat Curse is finally over. From a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, Congratulations Cubs Fans. 

What a game this is. I can't imagine how poor Steve Bartman is feeling right now. He can sleep peacefully now.

Pretty damn great game.

Mazel tov to the long suffering Cubs fans.  

And I'm sorry to all the long suffering Indians fans.  Wait till next year...when the Os win!!  :-)

My cat never bothers me, He sits in a box on the shelf.

Congrats to the Chicago Cubs and their fans. :)  Tonight’s game ended up being an awesome game 7.  I was rooting a bit more for Cleveland, but I would have been happy with either team winning and ending a long drought for their fans. The Cubs did a great job coming back from being down 3-1 and being that team.

Cleveland did a great job this season and maybe we see them again in the World Series next year. Hopefully they will make another appearance sooner than later.

[Mittengirl]

Darn, David Ross was right when he told Rizzo it was only going to get worse.

Doug Mientkiewicz probably called him up and told him to HOLD ONTO THAT LAST OUT BALL!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

congrats to the most obnoxious team this season?

[Silver Raven]

Man, Cubs did everything they could do to lose that game.

I'm avoiding all sports media the next few days because of the overload of the Cubs destiny crap. I'm happy for the fans but tired of the overloaded media hoopla. Now it's going to be worse after the 3-1 deficit.

[AndreaK1041]

Woot, congrats Cubs! Think Lebron switched back to his Yankees hat yet?

[Artsda]

Wow they came back from  3-1 and did it! Congrats Cubs & their fans. 

[ElDosEquis]

World Baseball Classic........Be there or be square!

[Mittengirl]

Is Ken Rosenthal part leprechaun?

Be safe and smart Chicago fans.

[galaxygirl76]

I'm back and I'm crying. And shaking. And not sure how I'm going to get sleep tonight.

[Miss Chevious]

But it all worked out. Cubbies won! So happy for the new World Series Champions! Thanks to all of you for a very special evening! ❤️?⚾️

You won't be able to escape it, people are going to show up with brand new Cubs stuff on.........all over the place.

Tennessee is playing South Carolina on the SEC network.......

Chapman gets the W?  Egads.

Don't they usually do the trophy presentation on the field?
