If the cubs finish it off... the party tonight will be something else
Bill Murray and John Cusack will be shitfaced. Lots of celebrity Cubs fans, and these guys have been front and centre Cubs fans forever.
Getting interesting.
Manager dragged Hendricks too early and Lester/Ross bugger up a couple of times to give Indians 2 runs and let them back in the game.
Awesome game to watch so far.
Lester in, gets 2 outs, walks Santana
Kipnis singles and both move up on a throwing error by Ross
Wild pitch hits Ross in the face and both runners score
Commentators querying why Maddon took Hendricks out
5-3 end 5
Interesting development yesterday which will likely effect the MLB tv subscribers for which I am one. There was an anti trust case being heard surrounds the MLB team's broadcast partners restriction on selling their games into markets outside of their own. MLB settled the case allowing for people in what were blackout areas to stream those effected teams as long as they have a current cable TV connection.Now for the part that potentially effects subscribers outside of the US, it is reported they will lower the cost the premium package from $129(USD) to $109, they will also now offer a single team option for $85. We have traditionally just got the exact same offering as a US subscriber so fingers crossed that doesn’t change and we also get to benefit from the new pricing.
I got the single team option and won’t be doing that again.
The thing is destroyed by ads…absolutely destroyed. And f**king betting company ads.
Ross gets one back
David Ross restores some of the damage caused by his error by hitting a solo homer to centre off Miller.
6-3
Lester comes out with 2 out and 1 on in the 8th.
Chapman comes in and Guyer doubles the runner in.
6-4
Davis ties it up with a 2-run shot
Not sure what will come under more scrutiny…taking out Hendricks or over-using Chapman
FAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKK…
Classic
Sudden death for the Cubs now.
Heyward got to third with one out, and Baez attempted a squeeze but bunted foul which is strike 3.
Lindnor then had a great play to cut down Fowler for the third out.
Bunting on a full count? Yeah, nah.
Into extras.
And it’s raining, causing a rain delay.
Raining now!
If the cubs lose this it will be recorded as one of the alltime great chokes.
Cubs retake the lead on a Zobrist double…7-6 now with one out and bases juiced.
Montero up with a chance to repeat his heroics from the NLCS.
But only singles in one…weak effort!
8-6 still one out, bases loaded.
A particularly anaemic strikeout by Heyward and a fly-out by Baez leaves it 8-6
Holy shitballs
This is unbelievable
