The Indians tied it 6-6 in the bottom of the 9th on a 2-run homer off of Chapman, who hadn’t given up a home run since June.
John Smoltz predicted extra innings last night.
But the Indians walked the lead off batter in the top of the 9th.
Talk later.
Madden is abusing Chapman like a rented dump truck.
If Chapman coughs this up it is on Madden.
update: Chapman is done. There is a rain delay.
update: The Cubs went ahead 8-6 with a key double by Zobrist.
update: The Tribe is not going down without a fight. bottom of the inning saw Carl Edwards Jr. easily handling the first 2 batters. Then he got tight and walked a batter. They took second on defensive indifference and the guy who tied the game cut the deficit to one with a liner up the middle.
Pitching change.
2 outs, down a run, man on first.
Great game.
Update: Cubs win.
Kris Bryant was actually smiling as the final grounder headed toward him.
THAT IS A GUY THAT WANTED IT HIT TO HIM.
I want Kris Bryant on the Mets.
And then there was this—>
Trump just unleashed a new commercial. How did Hillary go from dead broke to filthy rich? Illegal money pouring into the corrupt foundation from dictators, criminals and despots.
The lifelong corruption is closing in on her with the launch of a new FBI investigation.
GREAT SPOT!
This is BRUTAL!
It’s a helluva game! C’mon Cubbies!
12 innings and Indians win by 1 point.
They’re killing me tonight. If I didn’t have 4 coats of nail shellac on I would be chewing my nails.
Ack!
It’s awesome!
Neck in neck all the way.
/step by step, aloqly I turned…IMADORK
Quick hook to Hendricks after a quesitonable walk, and a quick hook to Lester after an infield hit. But then Madden leaves Chapman in to give up three runs. What gives?
aloqly I turned s/b slowly I turned
Iam so nervous, I started to play candy crush.
Exciting game, Go Indians.. Is that racist? Are they red skinned Indians?
Curse?
Where’s the goat?
Or that kid with the glove?
Cubs putting Chapman back in?
There’s your goat.
Cleveland Rocks!
which town do you think will riot tonight?
I just spotted Steve Bartman in the stands.
I’ve got my riot gear ready!
Wyatt,
I think the “genius” Madden has abused Chapman in these last 2 games.
This is not the guy’s role.
Whatever happens he cannot be called the goat.
Surprised Chapman pitched the 9th. He doesn’t look good.
BTW, I’m rooting for Cleveland – Francona, Napoli, Crisp.
HATE Lackey!
I knew it would be a barn burner. Chapman is making me nervous. Let’s go Cubs, Win it!
Rain, Great! Now we get to listen to the “pundits” for 2 hours!
I’ll go back to watching last night’s WSOP Final Table. FUR, Don’t tell me who won!
Tarp out. I cant stay up any longer. Damn
Big storm coming in. Call Algore or Obama, or the EPA, tell them
to stop it. It’s the World Series, damnit!
Why does Joe keep calling age 35 “old”!!!
This is why Eastern Time Zone sucks!
OK I’ll go back to Levintv.
Moved from Maine to AZ – best for watching sports.
After the 2004 ALCS and World Series (2:00 AM every night), we decided to move here! 🙂
The Baseball gods truly do love to torture the Cubs fans don’t they. Good, after how they treated Bartman, they deserve it!
In other news…
Fox News Bret Baier has a report out that I just watched.
Hillary’s Home-brew server was hacked by 5 foreign governments.
Awesome two minute report.
The shit is TOTALLY REAL right now.
Damn near time to uncork the World Series champagne for that!!!
BFH: I’m not criticizing Chapman – he has done what Madden has asked of him. But it seemed clear that Chapman didn’t have it tonight, and I question why Madden gave a quick hook to Hendricks and Lester (both of whom were pitching pretty well) and then leave Chapman in.
I don’t really criticize relievers. Donny Moore was considered a goat in 1986 for giving up a ninth inning homerun to Henderson, but people forget that Gary Lucas hit Rich Gedman to put the tying run on base, and the game actually went to extra innings when the Angels scored in the bottom of the ninth. For some reason, managers frequently leave their closers out there for too long after keeping the starters and middle relievers on a tight leash. I don’t really get that.
Only next Tuesday night will be more tense than this!
GO CUBS!!!
Hillary dons her Cubs hat in 3..2..
I bet the Florida Marlins players are still awake.
Cocaine will do that.
What? Too soon?
@Loco – LO-Fucking-L
And Donny Moore never quite recovered, either. Definitely not to soon.
Zobrist – 2 years in a row? Could be.
Stand By for the cop car burning riots..
Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down
Let ’em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot ‘fore we quit it
One more for the road…
Game 7. Extra innings. Rain delay.
I would like to see the Cubs jinx broken, but whether they win or lose I am not looking forward to the death count in Chicago in the morning.
Shaw still in after rain delay? Well it was a short one and who else they got?
Montero – 2 hits – both Huuuge!
Guy tweeted this two years ago:
2016 World Series.
Cubs vs Indians
And then the world will end with the score tied in game seven in extra innings #apocalypse
Come on Tribe!!!!!
Clevelanders don’t riot. They just go to the Flats and drink up all the beer.
My 86 year old Dad is going to be really tired tomorrow. He wore his Indians baseball hat around here a few weeks ago and got several “Go Tribe!” shout outs. 😊👍 He graduated from high school in 1948.
Wow! Nice going Cubs!
Thirty years after Da-Bears, Chicago can celebrate.
(I know the White Sox won since but I hated their manager)
Oh, I forgot about the Blackhawks…
Dang!
I saw Rahm Emmanual on the field after the game.
Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win!
Too bad Harry Caray wasn’t around to call it when they finally won the big one.

The Cubs won. How many assholes will be shot in Chicago tonight, during the celebration?
The moment will be ruined by Southside Obama claiming the victory for himself. You know his tweet pic is coming…
Such a young team – after 108 years …. Maybe this joyously/proud moment will help to put a cap on the cities weekly shootings because of celebration
Burn the city down….
Here comes Catherine O’Leary’s cow in the form of dindunuttins, from 145 years ago. Burn baby burn.
The start to an awesome week
Nothing like a bunch of fireworks going off at midnight, an hour after the quiet ordinance, in a state where fireworks are illegal.
Stupid liberals!
Wow, who knew that curses have an expiration date?
Interesting factoid just came across the wire from MLB. Both teams scored 27 runs in this series.
I thought I was going to have a heart attack watching that game last night. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and I was at at game 7 of the 87 Minnesota Twins. Holy crap that game was a roller coaster ride. Congrats Cubbies!!
Pete Rose was commentating for Fox/ wtf? He’s the worst asshole in baseball!
I had the misfortune of meeting him at a boat show once. Grumpy irascible sonofabitch.
