    I'm feeling good about the Cubs. They'll be going against a rookie pitcher in his first post-season game. Gotta remain positive. The Cubs have these games where they don't hit well. It usually doesn't last too long & this game should be the remedy.

    Cleveland have done it! At least the Browns are keeping up the tradition of Cleveland sports terribleness.

    Cleveland pitching is ridiculous. Thoroughly deserved to win the pennant.

    Cubs tied it at 2-2 as well in LA. The end is nigh.

    I think pretty much every neutral will be rooting for the Cubs. They've got one of the most famous losing streaks in world sport.

    That's fair. For me though, my hatred of the Indians goes back. Way back. Even when I was a kid I hated their goddamn mascot and his dumb grin

    For real though, I'm pulling for the Cubs. I am not a big baseball guy, but I like to see Chicago win in sports when they make it far in the season. I cheered for the Sox in 2005. Yes, fellow Chicagoans, that is wrong, I know. Again, I am passive when it comes to baseball. Keep in mind that the Sox used to have a huge World Series drought as well.

    you don't really know pain in baseball until you're a Mariners fan and have never even seen the World Series

    I'll be pulling for the cubs at this point for numerous reasons already stated and because it'll mean back to the future 2 was only one year off in predicting a cubs world series win.

    Wish I could go back to the beginning of the season, put some money on the Cubbies! Wouldn't have made much though, they were heavily favored.

    Too bad Miami is also an NL team and also sucks. But they did predict there would be a Miami team in 2015, so not bad really.

    We do have 'hoverboards' but in name only since they are not even 1/10 as cool as what is in bttf 2.

    Now where's my flying cars?

    Big game one win for the tribe. Kluber was on it. Eight strikeouts in the first three innings? Ridiculous!

    Cubs hit back!

    It is ludicrous that if this reaches game 7, it won't be in Chicago (even though they had the better regular season record), but in Cleveland because the American League won the meaningless All-Star game.

    To be fair they had to otherwise it would have been tough to come back from. Can see this going to six or seven. I reckon they'll split the first two games in Cleveland too.

    Yeah, I'm not massively keen on the All Star Game deciding World Series home field advantage.
