QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Rumor was Sox were gonna take Stroman and had a deal in place. Rockies took Dahl instead of Hawkins and changed everything Dammit that sucks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Robertson had meniscus surgery. Should be fine for spring training. Saw it posted 2-3 days ago. I'm surprised it just madeits way here now

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) I am happy for my family and good friends. Not the bar bandwagon fans. This. I've actually had good baseball conversations with some random fans and of course my friends and family who like the Cubs. But seriously, f*** the people who just see this as a reason to drink.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 04:58 AM) Bookmarked! Never been so sad to be so right. If not this year, it would've been next year. If not next year, the year after that. The gauntlet has been thrown. Baseball is on high alert and has been put on notice. The Cubs are here and they are going to be here for quite sometime. I've never been this shook before. #facepalm Need the Cards, Mets, and Nats to stay healthy next year, Giants and Dodgers to get better this off-season (along with 3 above), and need the Pirates or Marlins and a rebuilding team (pick any theres like 6) to take a step forward next year. Don't want next season and post-season (besides world series) to be such an easy stroll.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 06:02 AM) Oh my goodness. Nobody here has had a problem with the 8 billion bandwagon blackhawks fans that have emerged since 2010. gmab. I do and have pointed it out multiple times in fact.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) So is the wife beater... Except Cubs haven't burned through their bullpen like the Indians.

Chapman blowing the lead and losing the game would be amazing. Especially when I don't think he will re-sign and is purely a 2 month rental.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) Are the Cubs going to go Lester in the 6th & 7th and then Chapman in the 8th & 9th? God I hope. But after that inning I sort of doubt it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Who's going to be series MVP? I wondered the same thing. A lot of guys have struggled for Cubs this series. Maybe Lester?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) even with brantley, carrasco, and salazar healthy, I think the cubs still win this series. the indians have a severely flawed lineup. Doubtful. You would likely see Carrasco and Salazar starting games instead of Bauer and Tomlin.

Cubs are going to win. Zero confidence in the Indians to rally.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Exactly. Although if the Indians win, it could be a late night. Thank god I don't live in the city. I'm turning my phone off at the end of the game if the Cubs win.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) At least Nequin is out. He was awful yesterday on both sides of it. Need Chisenhall out too.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Cleveland's 6-9 hitters are bad. I just don't see them generating enough offense to win tonight. Cubs 6-9 haven't done too much this series either (I know I know...Russell hit a slam yesterday). Edit: Actually, 6-9 and then leadoff hitter.

Cubs 1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF 2. Kyle Schwarber (L) DH 3. Kris Bryant ® 3B 4. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B 5. Ben Zobrist (S) LF 6. Addison Russell ® SS 7. Willson Contreras ® C 8. Jason Heyward (L) RF 9. Javier Baez ® 2B Hendricks SP Indians 1. Carlos Santana (S) DH 2. Jason Kipnis (L) 2B 3. Francisco Lindor (S) SS 4. Mike Napoli ® 1B 5. Jose Ramirez (S) 3B 6. Lonnie Chisenhall (L) RF 7. Rajai Davis ® CF 8. Coco Crisp (S) LF 9. Roberto Perez ® C Kluber SP

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) When the Indians win, Corey Kluber should absolutely be the MVP. Yep.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) I had my sox spring jacket on at starbucks this week. Another guy walks into the store with a similar jacket. We both looked at each and i said, thank God! He laughed. I wore my Sox hat to work today (work in the loop) mostly so people on the streets selling "Cubs NL Champs" shirts wouldn't acknowledge me. Mission accomplished lol

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) I don't think the city will burn.. I've been saying it will for a while, but after the Cubs won the NLCS it's just a bunch of drunk party-goers littering and being asinine human beings. I'd much rather see riots and the burning of city, well, not exactly for sports reasons, but I'd take it, but I don't expect any of it to go down win/lose. As for this game, my money is slightly on the Indians. They haven't lost 3 in a row this year (I think per this thread earlier) and Kluber on the mound with a recharged bullpen. Hendricks isn't exactly lester or roided up Arriereta and the Indians are at home (although this benefit is neutralized by Schwarbers presence). They won't make a mistake like they did in Game 6 with the outfield error again and it should be a close game. Great series for baseball, not a good time to be a Sox fan (cubbies will grow this generation). I am looking forward to tonight's game. For the love of God, please sit Chisenhall!

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 10:45 AM) So, how crazy is it going to get if the Cubs win tonight? I actually thought the night they won the pennant was pretty tame all things considered, especially with it being a Saturday. I'm guessing the potential parade would be Friday. Good luck to anyone that has to commute to work downtown that day. I think it'll be Tuesday or Wednesday. Either way, I was told I can work from home that day

At least Danks (~15 mill) and Laroche (13 mill) are off the books! (I lnow LaRoche wasn't on at all during the season, but he was all off-season. Even with Shields at 9 mill, they should have money to spend.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 08:07 AM) Sounds crazy, right? Thanks to IowaSoxFan on SoxTalk bringing up the idea, after I thought about it, it's really not that crazy. Here is the case for it. Yes? No? Not yet? Give him a few months/a season.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 07:55 AM) I think regardless of tonight's outcome the city is going to burn. Yep.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Again, still don't know that. What if Desmond tanks and isn't even worth a QO? What if Fowler was only long-term big money deal or 1 year Cubs? We don't know any of this, its all guessing. True. I feel like players that take one year deals take it from their former team if there is interest by said team. That's kind of why I feel Nats will re-sign Ramos and let him rehab for a few months with a team he is familiar with.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) Wow, one city might burn down tonight with all the hype this game is getting. I can see douchebag cubs fans knocking down light posts. Win or lose lol

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 07:31 AM) the latter, I'm a broke phd student haha I'm not sure you're broke if you're that far ahead where a 2.5k loss matters haha
