Your Official Live 2016 World Series Thread---Game Three
« on: October 28, 2016, 10:20:41 pm »
The early reports say the wind is blowing out at Wrigley Field. So don't be shocked if the hitters on both
sides have feasts tonight.

Tonight's starting pitchers: Kyle Hendricks (Cubs) vs. Josh Timlin (Indians).

The last Cub pitcher to start a World Series game: Hank Borowy. The last Indian to start a Series game: Jaret Wright.

The last Cub pitcher to win a World Series game: Hank Borowy. The last Indian pitcher to win a World Series game: Chad Ogea.

Other notes:

* Kyle Schwarber hasn't been cleared by doctors to play the outfield. He'll be limited to pinch hitting during
the Wrigley Field leg of the Series.

* Carlos Santana will start in left field for the Indians so Mike Napoli can stay in the lineup and play first
base during the Wrigley leg.

* It's been 25,950 days since a World Series game was last played in Wrigley Field.

According to ESPN:

* 45 different ballparks have hosted a World Series game since Wrigley’s last one. The first Yankee Stadium hosted 70 World
Series games since the last one played at the "Friendly Confines."

* 26 of those parks are no longer active, including Atlanta's Turner Field, which was deactivated at the end of the 2016
season.

* 27 different franchises have hosted a World Series game since the Cubs last did.

* 12 of those franchises didn’t exist in 1945. Overall, there have been 14 expansion franchises to join the majors since 1945.

* 1,445 different players have had at least one plate appearance in the World Series over that span, including in Games 1 and
2 of the 2016 World Series between the Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, according to Elias.

* 3,192 runs have been scored in the Fall Classic in those 45 different ballparks, again including the first two games of this World
Series.

Game time 7:00 PM CDT . . .

Some Indians fans have set up a Wedding Registry for Joe Buck and Kyle Schwarber.

I hope Joe's passion doesn't gush quite as badly during this time as it did in Game 2.

A lot of the audience became nauseous.

We just muted him.   If we want to watch romance, we watch romance, not baseball.....  :smokin:

Buck does go overboard when he latches onto a good story (and if you think he's bad you don't
remember Bob Prince all those years broadcasting for the Pirates), but even an Indians fan has to admit
Schwarber is quite a story this Series, all things considered.

Yes, a story, and a GREAT one, but not worthy of a love affair!

(Seriously, there are photoshopped photos of Schwarber proposing to Buck, and Buck saying "YES!"  Hilarious!).

I DO love the stories of the old folks wanting the Cubs to win though, just like the old Indians' fans.  Those are some great stories!

Shame someone can't get vintage recordings and splice together a would-be game broadcast featuring Harry Caray
(Cubs) and Herb Score (Indians) . . .
