Cleveland will be witness to return of honorary Bone Thug, Kyle Schwarber. They ought to play "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" for his first AB.

I love that, technically speaking, the Cubs have four catchers on their World Series roster. Win or lose, they'll at least keep things interesting.

It may blow up in our face, but I love seeing Schwarber back. Although he'd have only have had 6 1/2 months since the injury itself, and less time since surgery. So I'm really worried about him re-injuring himself...

I'm still really sad we didn't get to face them. Their pitching was on fire but I remain convinced we could have at least taken a game from them. Stupid Astros. At least that NLCS gave us Lidge.avi

They have really cute goats at the Apple Holler, but to visit them you'd have to go to Wisconsin and I think we all know your thoughts on that particular state.

Yeah technically the Cubs broke the goat curse but it's generally thought of as a curse that the Cubs would never win the WS again, not just participate, so if the Cubs can't beat the Indians get ready to hear it from all corners about how the curse of the billygoat is still alive and kicking.

Mostly to each other. All the goats I've known (I'm from a farm town, what of it?) have been awesome to people. I hope you're kidding.

Lindor and Baez are childhood friends from their days playing in Puerto Rico and now they are facing each other in the WS. This is a pretty cool article about their relationship.

I played basketball on a grade two sprain ten days after it happened but that's when I was in high school and also it didn't fully heal for like five months.

Granted I doubt Kipnis really cares about timetable as long as he can play in the World loving Series

Maybe in a contact sport, but what do you think the Cubs are going to do with this information? They already know he sprained his ankle last week. Pitch him inside? Try to hit balls in his direction? Takeout slides at second base?
