Yeah, time for the panic button to be pressed. First time all season. Shame it had to come at this moment.

I know I haven't posted in this thread all year, mainly because I've had nothing to say since I don't watch a ton of baseball because I just think the season's too long for me to be fully invested for that long before mid-July. But... HOT DAMN WORLD SERIES BABY! I apologize in advance for my Cleveland-er bias seeping into your guy's thread. P.S. Go Dodgers I hope the Cubs choke so the Indians can continue Cleveland's dominance against California teams. P.S.S. I harbor no hate towards the Cubbies and if the Indians didn't make it I'd probably be rooting for the Cubs.

It's about time the offense showed up. Now, do it again tonight and Saturday and get on that plane to Cleveland.

It pains me that Andrew Miller is no longer a Yankee. He is the most legit reliever since Mariano Rivera.

After watching Mike Golic this morning being the obnoxious Cleveland fan (the 'Land = title town - oh c'mon Golic) I've decided I am cheering hard for whichever NL team gets to the World Series - hopefully the Cubs just because several generations of Chicago fans need some joy. And I remember what it was like in Boston when the Red Sox finally broke the curse.
Short true story: I was in the hospital (Brigham and Women's just a mile or so from Fenway) recovering from surgery when the Yankees went up 3-0. Having nothing better to do, I watched every pitch of the next four games from my hospital bed as the Red Sox came back to take the series. I remember the nurses making extra visits to my room to get score updates during game 7. It was a bonding moment for everybody, even the non-baseball fans. I was home by the time the World Series ended but living near a college campus and several bars, the roar that went up after the final out gave me goosebumps. So yeah, I wouldn't mind if Cubs fans got to feel a little of that.

So yeah, I wouldn't mind if Cubs fans got to feel a little of that. Being in a high school with rabid, die-hard Yankee fans, I celebrated when the Red Sox came out and won the 2004 ALCS. When the captured the World Series, I celebrated as well. The city of Boston deserved to experience 86 years of heartaches. Now if the Cubs win the the NLCS and subsequently win the World Series, I'll let Chicago style pizza slide for a day. I hope the Mets can get their **** together and win their third World Series championship, I can die happy.

I've waited 13 years for the Cubs to be a win away from the World Series.
They haven't won the pennant yet, but the only way it can go wrong is what they allow to go wrong.

So it's safe to say I'm gonna be one of the only people in this thread to be actively rooting for the Indians? That's fine I'll take up residence in this little corner over here and be very happy when the Tribe win the series.

I remember Game 6 of 03 like it was yesterday. Literally one of the most vivid memories of my entire life. I like that they have swagger, and this team feels special in every way imaginable, but this is a see it to believe it deal for me. We've earned the right to be pessimistic until it actually happens as far as I'm concerned. And to be totally fair, by pessimistic, I mean cautiously optimistic.

I can't believe it's been 13 years. Also, can people let go of Bartman and just admit they three games to put the Marlins away and just didn't do it?

There would probably be more Indian support. Id cheer for the Indians before the Dodgers. However, even though Im a Yankees fan, the Cubs AA team is my local team so Ive literally seen all these guys in person before. I gotta root for the Cubbies.

The Marlins were a good team and the Cubs couldve won game 7, but didnt do that.

The Cubs and the Indians. Just like no one predicted.
Personally, I'm just rooting for Ben "Zobro" Zobrist.
