It's still been 71 years since a Cubs baserunner has crossed home plate in the World Series.

El Gallinero Gros posted:We're well put together, I just hope the rest of our somewhat shaky rotation can hold up If Tomlin and Bauer have effective breaking pitches they'll be alright. I think you see Salazar piggyback off one of the starters, I guess he could start game four in the unlikely even that the Indians are up 3-0.

That sounds a bit fatalist to me, but that's the way of the Cubs fan. I will say that the Cubs are in trouble if they lose tomorrow, though. I do NOT fear John Lackey in a hitters park like Wrigley. Not that Josh Tomlin's a "FEAR OF GOD" kind of guy either, mind you.

Goodpancakes posted:Nothing irritates me about baseball more about how people lose their loving minds over batflipping. Stop caring about batflipping, and stop throwing at people for bat flipping you giant babies. I joked about the bat flipping and not running, but I'm absolutely against hitting someone over it. That's juvenile, macho bullshit.

Plunking people because they showed you up is for assholes. You wanna get 'em back? Strike 'em out next time they come up! Beaning people intentionally is bush league bullshit.

The big game at the end was just to make it into the playoffs. In the end they didn't win poo poo! Yeah part of my world was shattered when I figured that out.

Did you know that the original ending as filmed showed the bitchy woman owner explaining to the manager that the whole thing was her scheme to save the bankrupt team and keep them in Cleveland? Test audiences didn't like the twist and preferred the Margaret Whitton character as a straight up villain, so they recut the ending. It's true!

Cleveland teams are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so I wouldn't  too much yet. That said I am cautiously optimistic.

Despite the goose egg, Andrew Miller was extremely human, giving up 4 baserunners in 2 innings.

Last time the Cubs were shutout 6-0 against Cleveland they came back and put up 17 the next day.

Life is so much easier if you expect something bad to happen. Then when it does you're prepared and when it doesn't it's a nice surprise. Call me a pessimist if you like but it works for me.
