QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Game 3 was the best game by far. Agreed on that. The Cubs were a hit from winning. Hopefully that will be the difference come about 10 hours from now.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) True. I think whoever scores first will win. The bullpens are too stacked on both sides for a ridiculous comeback, but it would be awesome if the Indians could have a walk-off. While I certainly would be happy in the moment if that happens, I kinda don't want it to be a walk off, because then suddenly the Cubs will have played in a classic World Series, when it really hasn't been. Pretty similar to 1960 if you look it up. The wins were straightforward for both teams, then Game 7 was a bloodbath at the end with Mazeroski hitting the walkoff.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) I wonder what would happen if the Indians hit a walkoff grand slam down 3 in the bottom of the 9th against Chapman. That would be insanely awesome. That's kinda why this World Series hasn't been that great, even though they are going to a Game 7. When a team doesn't really have a shot to come back, it makes it for pretty straightforward win or lose type games. I hope that continues with the Indians taking an early 4-0 lead, and they just win it.

The good thing about the Indians having three shots to win one game, is that it's still there if they don't win tonight. Kluber-Miller-Allen tomorrow night. I like their chances still.

That's a pretty random hiring. I like it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) He's the type of guy who can end up on 3 different teams by the time Spring Training starts. I think Andy Wilkins is back out on the market.

I'll give the Cubs organization credit. They had a plan. They executed a plan. They won a pennant, which is an accomplishment. And their window for winning will still be there the next few years. That's the baseball side of it...good for them. As far as their stupid fans...nothing would make me happier than to see them lose all three games at Wrigley in their first World Series in 71 years. All that money spent by d-bags just to see them lose...would love it!

Going to be nice to watch the flag going up and ring ceremony next April when the Indians host the Sox in their opener.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Spotless was added to Netflix. Quality show. Kind of a Dexter/Breaking Bad mix. Anyone? Anyone?

40-man is at 40, plus Davidson, Petricka, and Webb who are on the 60-day DL. 4 free agents included on the 40...Albers, Avila, Jackson, and Morneau, so they'll be coming off next week.

First thing I do...go out and get Rymer Liriano. http://www.baseball-reference.com/register...id=lirian001rym

Since it's once a year, I think there should be a yearly reminder Joe Crede could have (and probably should have) been MVP of both the ALCS and World Series....especially the World Series.

Speaking of the last out, I'm glad replay wasn't used back then. He was out, but it would have been super awkward.

The 2008 World Series changed things. Their first priority will be to play the game uninterrupted or at least on the same night, but the last resort would be suspending a game in progress and finishing the next night. That would be unfortunate though. If it looks bad at 6-9 pm, and the window is better for tomorrow, they'll play 4 nights in a row (the 4th, if necessary).

QUOTE (balfanman @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 12:00 PM) I was in a hotel room in L.A. and, okay, I'll admit it.........I.............cried. I teared up when they won the pennant. The Sox in the World Series was such a foreign concept in my time as a fan. When they won it all, probably the combination of being up 3-0 in the series, and being so tired from the night before, I was just happy and numb. Hopefully, they make some new memories one day. We're treading on 85 Bears territory.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 11:47 AM) I hope it rains and everything gets pushed back a day. Kluber on full rest for game 4. They'll just not have the off day. Today would be the off day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) Why? What is the need to get rid of him? We're done talking.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) still find it funny the team with 103 wins doesn't get homefield If they kept it alternating, this would be the AL year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Dude is going to make like 30 or 40k if he isn't on the 40 man, maybe less. I still don't see what the big deal is. He isn't blocking anyone, and he isn't holding a 40 man roster spot. Um yeah, I get he can stay and toil at AA again. Point is, he's not worthy of adding to the 40-man if it's that time. Release him, expose him to other teams, let him be a free agent, whatever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) Why? It isn't like someone is going to take him the Rule 5 or something. There is no onus to release him. Let's put it this way, he's not good enough to add to the 40-man. If he has the option to become a free agent, they should let him.

Courtney Hawkins turns 23 in a few weeks. He's probably a release candidate if he's reached the point of having to be added to the 40-man.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) The city is going to be crazy either way. If you happen to live in Wrigleyville, I wouldn't imagine it being different than this past Saturday if they win on the road. If they're going to be handed the trophy, I'd rather it be in the clubhouse in Cleveland than on their home field. Come to think of it, maybe 6 games is bad...that's the day the Sox home park becomes Guaranteed Rate Field. The jokes write themselves.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) Whoever is going to win, I just want it to be put away in 4 games or ASAP (hopefully an Indians sweep brings the off-season on Sunday). I'm not losing any sleep over this series, but if the Cubs happen to win, I'd rather they do it in 6--in Cleveland.

Apparently when they started the segment, they mentioned they weren't including the Sox because Cubs fans wouldn't be rooting for them. Whatever.

If it wasn't already pointed out, it doesn't appear KW was out in San Diego last week. It was a false tip given to that guy.
