Are you kidding? If the Cubs and the Indians end up in the World Series against each other, the
networks will go batsh@t nuts with the storylines and the long, long, long World Series ring
droughts each team has, not to mention the calamities each team's dealt with over the years, on
and off the field. (Not to mention the prospect of the Indians having to try to win a Series
against the team everyone and their proverbial twin brother had winning this year's Series when
spring training was still two weeks from finishing . . . )

I think that is what I said.  But in a whole less bunch of words.

But thanks for agreeing.   888high58888

I'd just like to point out that the Indians are now 3-0 against the Blue Jays, and that their bullpen is AWESOME!!!

The whole world has been against Cleveland for a long time in a lot of ways, and that makes me even MORE proud to be an Indians fan!

One more game and we're World Series bound!!    :cheerlead: :cheerlead: :cheerlead:

The first team in playoff history to win a game without a pitcher lasting two innings. 
            .... And they say baseball is boring.   Pssshhhh.

You're team is doing great, @musiclady !

Thanks @Polly Ticks !

Yeah.......... when your starting pitcher goes out after 2/3's of an inning, you gotta have a powerful bull pen to win the game!

I was hoping they'd get ahead 3-0, because the chances of losing the next four with as strong a team as we have is pretty small.

One more!!

Indeed.

And he looks like he's 12!

Andrew Miller is a GREAT choice for MVP.

I actually think we can win the World Series this time around......... which is nice because I was two months from even being conceived when we won the last one......... and I'm OLD!  ^-^

What they may about Ben Zobrist in future lore: he dropped, arguably, the most powerful bunt in Cubs history.

World Series opener will be in Cleveland for the first time EVER.

This is the magical year for Cleveland.  Cubs had better be ready!

btw, ticket prices are through the roof in anticipation of the Cubs' winning.  If you have a few thousand dollars sitting around, you can buy a ticket for Tuesday night's game.   ^-^

Thanks!  There's a little bit of feeling of "destiny" in northern Ohio these days.  This team is young, and calm and cool and collected, and the pitching is absolutely stunning.

In '97 we made it to the final inning and Jose Mesa blew our lead.  We were SO close!


But I think this time around, we've got such a strong bullpen, and that Terry Francona is such a strong manager, that we've got a good chance of winning.  The guys feel like they're family, and Cleveland is a fantastic sports town.

And besides that, I need a new shirt!!  ^-^

I'm optimistic!

Well, it's not so bad.  The Mbuti Pygmies sing some pretty cool music, in  very high voices, so I guess it's alright for a soprano like me to be associated with them.   888high58888
