Our team was supposed to crushed by Boston, you cant tell me Cleveland making it to the WS was a fluke. But Twitter said it was.

That Red Sox come back was legendary. Respect

Great win for the cubbies. Clutch hitting and taking the walks given to them. Scoring without the longball.

Bravo

Rasmus listed as a finalist is hilarious. He missed so much time this year

Kyle not medically cleared to play OF.

Will Pinch hit only

It's interesting about the home-field advantage dilemma being decided by the All-Star game, because if this game goes 7, it might actually benefit the Cubs because they get that extra game where Schwarber can be the DH. Something to watch for.

And ESPN doesnt even think the White Sox exist SMH

How can Schwarber be cleared to swing a bat, run the bases, but not play LF?

Lateral movement. Potential for more compromising situations where you can tweak the knee. That's my best guess. Not sure.

True. Cubs are probably better off anyway.
