Cubs win the series but Trump will win Ohio, I’ll take it.

Sounds like a heck of a deal.

*** “I remember someone on TV commenting Trump winning as likely as Cubs winning after 108 years” ***

Need to find out who it was and have them amend their statement, as an endorsement.

Vote Trump
MAGA
Where Red at the Polling Place and fill out a Paper Ballot, take pictures of the crowd and “bump into Buses/Vans with your vehicle, get the Police involved writing up accident reports, slow the cheaters down and have a paper trail of their cheating”

Indians lost it in the first inning when it was obvious their starting pitcher had nothing. He should have never came out for the 5th inning. It was the first time he has ever pitched a game and didn’t have a strikeout. All in all Cubs won because they were the best team in baseball this year and their pitching was light-years better than Indians.

Cubs pitching light-years better than Indians? I disagree. Cubs hitters got hot at right time.

I keep saying, 400,000 dead Syrians and counting. Turkey and Iraq bristling at each other. Pakistan and India clawing at each other. South China Sea a mess. Iranians will have nukes soon, probably Saudi to follow. S. Koreans considering going nuclear. Russia on the rise.

WHO has been help leading the world toward a nuclear war future???

I hope they give him the first pitch on pennant day. He took about 300 times more heat than he should have.

The Cubs starters are light years better. And Chapman is probably the best closer in the game. Cubs middle relief... not so much.

Agreed.

BTW, I must say that in the post game interview, the Indians’ manager, Terry Francona, was truly classy and gracious. I was leaning toward a Cubs win partially because of friends there (out in some fairly conservative “burbs”), and because it’d been so long since the Cubs pulled this off. But, I might have to become a bit of an Indians’ fan too, at least as long as Francona is there. :-)

Yup. My mom took a jacket over to O’hare to get the team to sign it when they disembarked the plane...She had gotten permission...back in those days, things were different. Was for my brother’s birthday==he ws probably 10 years old...Team had Ernie & Ron Santo ...Sadly, it was stolen :( But always very special memory from a special time.

Terry Francona is a true Mensch. As a Sox fan, I was rooting for the Clevelands.
