Tonight's going to be a tossup. 99.9% chance it won't be ad easy as last night was.
When they beat the Dodgers in Game 6, I felt like a little kid again. That little kid had his heart ripped out in 2003 and it was a long 13 years. I'm sure fans who were kids during 1969 and 1984 felt like kids again too because I'm sure they were as heartbroken as I was in October of '03.
All three are important years in Cubs history. You cannot erase history, but you can make up for it.
Nine innings from now I'll either be dealing with the biggest heartbreak of all, or the day that I always dreamed of will finally come true.

I hate coming back here and reading the words I wrote beforehand and feeling like an idiot, so I won't say much. TRIBE IN 7. #RallyToghther

The Indians shouldve been finished in 6. Cubs couldve won game 3 if they didnt keep swinging at junk that was nowhere near the strike zone.

I really just can't image the Indians Losing tonight I have a hard time doing so. I'd love to see the Cubs win. I still think they can it's just a matter of there bats. Can there bats stay hot which is something they have struggled with.

Well, tonight really is the night! Either the Cubs or the Indians. Someone makes history and someone goes home to cry themselves to sleep. I find most baseball games boring to watch but tonight has that magical "drama" the sports media always talk about that makes it must see TV.
Go CUBS!

I find most baseball games boring to watch but tonight has that magical "drama" the sports media always talk about that makes it must see TV. Go CUBS! This best describes why the NHL, NBA, and MLB hopes the final round in the playoffs goes to a seventh game. A recent example when the Cleveland Cavilers and the Golden State Warriors had a seven game series in the 2016 NBA Finals. Ten out of 38 World Series Game Seven's happened in the last 31 years. History could be on the Cubs' side since the 1985 Kansas City Royals overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

I remember the '04 post season very well and the most dramatic game was actually the ALCS game 7. When the Red Sox went on to sweep the Cardinals it felt like an afterthought and I can only imagine that non-Red Sox fans weren't nearly as interested in the end of that series as much as non-Cubs and non-Indians fans are interested in tonight.

After the dominating win by the Cubs last night, the Indians are really going to have to go out and leave it all on the field. Cubbies have the Big Mo in their corner right now. In reference to the 04 ALCS, As a Yankees fan I knew going into game 7 we were done by how Boston had all the momentum and were just clicking on all cylinders. I fully expect a 1-0 type game with the run coming late in the game around inning 7 or 8.

It is worth repeating that I was surrounded with die hard Yankee fans in high school in 2004. The kept on downplaying the Red Sox. When the Red Sox overcame a deficit and won the 2004 ALCS, I smiled. The icing on the cake was the Rex Sox sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals to end their 86-year drought. What made it special was the date October 27th. It was 18 years to the date, the Rex Sox lost same seven of the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets. I bet nobody realizes the Indians manager Terry Francona was the manager of the 2007 Boston Red Sox. Just to happens, Jon Lester of the Chicago Cubs was on that squad.

Don't forget golden boy Theo Epstein. There are quite a few ties between the Red Sox world championship teams and this current world series. Hell, if the Cubs do win, Theo Epstein may become a legend in two historic baseball cities!

Hope the Cubs win and become the first team since the 2009 New York Yankees to win 100+ games in the regular season.

I made the comment after the NLCS that if the Cubs win the World Series then Theo should be fast tracked to Cooperstown

Should've stuck with Hendricks longer.

Madden just let the Tribe back in it with that terrible move. Hendricks was doing fine but Joe seemed hell bent all night to take him out. He just opened the door for the Indians.
Plus Wilson's bat just got hot and he takes him out as well.
