- Where is Ty with the stats on this!??! -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 21:53
- Last time Cubs won a WS women couldn't vote. This time = woman president. That's how statistics work. -- nm - TWuG Nov 2, 21:52 1
  - except last time the Cubs won, so did an obese loudmouth. she needs to pack a few stone on, and get a walrus moustache. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:56
*looks down board at all the criticism of the Cubs coaching* That's all forgiven now, right? -- nm - TWuG Nov 2, 21:51 3

- Indians fan? -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:51 2
  - No, but she was at the Bartman game with me so she paid her dues. -- nm - pmb Nov 2, 21:53 1
    - Oof. You were there for that? I had no idea. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:53
Wait, they haven't won since 1908? Why didn't somebody say something? -- nm - Volnelk Nov 2, 21:50
never a doubt... right? -- nm - dogbert Nov 2, 21:49
Conversation that starts in 20 minutes: Are the Cubs a dynasty in the making? - David Nov 2, 21:49 3
- They have a great, young nucleus--They aren't afraid to spend. Could have a Giants-esque dynasty (win every other year or so) for a bit -- nm - Flavorize Nov 2, 21:53 1
  - Theo's bagging three relievers this offseason. That's for damn sure. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:54

That's it! Congrats to the Cubs and their fans! Thanks to both teams for a fantastic World Series. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:49 1
- Best game in WS history? -- nm - mr monkey Nov 2, 21:50
Theo gets his own wing in the Hall of Fame now, right? -- nm - Tim Nov 2, 21:48 3
- That's what's fun about moonshots. When you pull one off, you're a living demigod. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:51
- After he does the same for the Rockies ;) -- nm - Flavorize Nov 2, 21:51

Ok Edwards I kind of feel bad for. - iSpam Nov 2, 21:46 1
- He looked out of his depth -- nm - mr monkey Nov 2, 21:51
Please either get out or hit a walkoff. No more ties. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 2, 21:46
just. one. out. -- nm - mr monkey Nov 2, 21:45
This game is going to kill me. -- nm - pmb Nov 2, 21:44
Drama like this is why baseball is the greatest sport. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:44
I've paid more attention to baseball in the last week than in the last 25 years. - TWuG Nov 2, 21:35 7
- One game in 25 years. Worth it. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:55
- Same here - I never watch it. -- nm - Meg Nov 2, 21:49
- That's what is amazing about this series. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:40 2
  - As an Ohio boy, I should be rooting for Cleveland. But a Cubs win speaks to the romantic in me. -- nm - TWuG Nov 2, 21:41 1
    - Agreed exactly. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 2, 21:44
- You're really what's wrong with America! - Krusty Nov 2, 21:36 1
  - what a failed IM but we'll leave that for another day -- nm - crash davis Nov 2, 21:46
here we go baby! -- nm - mr monkey Nov 2, 21:34
*muttering feverishly* "I invoke the power of Redmond. I invoke the power of Bacon. I invoke the power of Redmond...." -- nm - crash davis Nov 2, 21:34
Ok. 3 outs. Breathe. -- nm - pmb Nov 2, 21:33
"Trying to hit an 8 run homer." Classic. He put into words what I was trying to tell my son. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:32
I know baseball is about the history, but I can do without the 'fast facts' about every possible situation. - Volnelk Nov 2, 21:31 2
- "Lots of Canadians watching tonight's game. Fun fact, they expected to be rooting for the Blue Jays, but the Indians defeated them." - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:39
- its because Joe Buck is terrible at his job and its his only shtick -- nm - Jovian Nov 2, 21:33
What does "Swinging Strike (Blocked)" mean? - TWuG Nov 2, 21:30 7
- You have to catch the third strike or the runner can try for first. - iSpam Nov 2, 21:33 5
  - not just bases loaded, first has to be open. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:35 4
    - If the bases aren't loaded the other runners can go as well. - iSpam Nov 2, 21:37 3
      - nope -- (link) - Reagen Nov 2, 21:38 2
        
        Huh. I guess our league doesn't follow MLB rules. - iSpam Nov 2, 21:41 1
        
        We'd see more guys getting thrown out at third if a dropped third strike forced runners to go. - Krusty Nov 2, 21:45
- ball in the dirt, catcher got in front of it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:31
jeez Heyward that at bat was baad -- nm - Jovian Nov 2, 21:30
The intentional walk: still the dumbest thing you can do in baseball. -- nm - Tim Nov 2, 21:30
Heyward is broken. He needs to see a hitting coach in the off-season. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:29 5
- the coaches have said they know what's wrong with his swing and they can fix it, but that it's too late in the year to rework it - dogbert Nov 2, 21:36 1
  - Ha! - to your IM. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:38
- Yup -- nm - pmb Nov 2, 21:31
- Yup, he's only taken three swings that look like him over the past two games. - David Nov 2, 21:30 1
  - Yup. He looks lost and you nailed it with the guessing at the pitches. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:34
Those Clinton ads are freaking effective. This game can go another 10 innings. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:28
No matter what happens, the resilience of this team is impressive. I may not like Maddon's pitching moves tonight but I credit him with their mental - pmb Nov 2, 21:27

- NL victor = demcratic, AL = republican. it's worked for four elections in a row! -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:29
- heh -- nm - Jovian Nov 2, 21:28
best world series since nineteen dickety-four. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:26
This is setting up the "down by 3, bases loaded, 2 outs, 3-2 count" bit. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:26
I liked that Clinton ad -- nm - Jovian Nov 2, 21:25 1
- I don't see it moving undecided voters, so I assume it's to lock Clinton voters down. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 2, 21:28
As much as I hate the Trump and Hillary ads, the Why Him? commercial is the one that makes me want to gouge my eyes out. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:25 2
- Im curious, is that the clinton ad you just got? or did you get the Just One Wrong Move -- nm - Jovian Nov 2, 21:27 1
  - Thanks to the magic of TiVo, I have no idea. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:32
Going to bed. -- nm - hellSpawn Nov 2, 21:24 1
- Yep, I'm out -- nm - Bacon Nov 2, 21:24
That probably did it -- nm - Bacon Nov 2, 21:23 2
- Blame it on the rain yeah yeah -- nm - Milli Vanilli Nov 2, 21:24
- Yep. Too much storybook for another comeback. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 2, 21:24
5 more and I might be comfortable -- nm - dogbert Nov 2, 21:21
CNN just declared Illinois for Ben Zobrist. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:21 10
- [deleted] 9
  - is Illinois a bellweather state? I'd say it's time to panic. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:24 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - its rigged -- nm - zeit spiced geist Nov 2, 21:31
  - You shouldn't have *any*. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:24 5
    - Oh, I think a boit of worry is justified. But it feels like "high anxiety" might be underselling appearances. :-) -- nm - TWuG Nov 2, 21:25 4
      - Worry about the things you can control in life, my friends. - David Nov 2, 21:31 3
        
        I worry about how phone calls went for 24-48 hours after ... - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:37
        
        Yeah, I try very hard not to borrow worry. - TWuG Nov 2, 21:34 1

How you feelin, Chap? -- nm - Crazy Joe Nov 2, 21:21
Holy shit! -- nm - pmb Nov 2, 21:20 6
- I'm happy for zobrist. If anyone I'm glad it's him. -- nm - iSpam Nov 2, 21:21
- What was the point of walking Rizzo? - TWuG Nov 2, 21:21 4
  - Avoiding a dangerous hitter while setting up a force play at every base. - David Nov 2, 21:22 1
    - Exactly. You're really hoping for a ground ball giving you a double play to get out of the inning. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:24
  - Or Russel? -- nm - TWuG Nov 2, 21:22
  - stats might have said Shaw's better matchup was with Zobrist -- nm - mr monkey Nov 2, 21:22
I think I have to apologize to that poor kid, the closer. That was a cruel joke at his expense. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:15
Ouch. -- (link) - hellSpawn Nov 2, 21:14
They need to move Schwarber's shift to more of an I-formation. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:13 1
- crouch a guy between the mound and home. "Try not to get killed." -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:15
So those $$$ game tickets seem like they were worth the price. -- nm - Max Nov 2, 21:10
You know it's a good baseball game if Kim's still awake. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:09 2
- Time to start the daily challenges in Disney Emoji Blitz -- nm - Dano S Turkeys Nov 2, 21:10 1
  - She gets this post, so that's half of us. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:11

"So Aroldis... you're rested now, right?" -- nm - Joe Maddon Nov 2, 21:03 2
- [deleted]
- Jake is. -- nm - zunk via drone Nov 2, 21:06
So, until we get back - help a grandma out. Eighteen years old. FB page 'likes' all point to League of Legends. -- (edited) - Meg Nov 2, 21:01 5
- There's a gift card thingy for in game currency that buys skins (different looks for characters) and other cosmetic stuff. -- nm - Tim Nov 2, 21:14 2
  - Thanks. I'm sure I'll go for the regular gift card for his 'big' gift, but I'd love to have something to put under the tree. - Meg Nov 2, 21:26 1
    - Dunno what you planned on spending, but I see the $25 one in almost every gift card rack. -- nm - Tim Nov 2, 21:31
- Still a big deal. I know someone that plays and I could ask him about gift ideas, if you'd like. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 21:13 1
  - Thanks. I really have no idea what he likes - and last year of high school, college applications, and marching band I'm sure are keeping him occupied. -- nm - Meg Nov 2, 21:24
I am going to bed. Good luck Cubs! -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 21:00
Certainly can't say this has been a boring game tonight. -- nm - GregW Nov 2, 20:59 1
- True - and I'm not even a baseball fan. -- nm - Meg Nov 2, 21:00
Zeit, if continued tomorrow, it is still game 7 so it is in Cleveland -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 2, 20:57
Has this ever happened? -- (edited) - Mel Profit Nov 2, 20:57 12
- You're in a baseball town. They'll understand. - iSpam Nov 2, 21:01
- 1912, 1924, 1991. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:00 10
  - Rain delays in a tied extra innings WS game 7? That's nuts. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 21:07 1
    - ah, I wasn't factoring in the rain delay part - Reagen Nov 2, 21:08
  - Even before this, I was already thinking it was the greatest series since 1991. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:01 7
    - 2011 wasn't bad either. -- nm - iSpam Nov 2, 21:03 5
      - Be serious, boys. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:08 4
        
        1993! -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 21:09 3
        
        Bunch of fanboys ruining my thread. -- nm - David Nov 2, 21:11 2
        
        I didn't say 2005. -- nm - iSpam Nov 2, 21:18
