Ormond Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 It was a game of two pitchers. Lester from the Cubs was pish last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Cubs win game 2 5-1. This is shaping up to be a belter of a series. Edited October 27, 2016 by biffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasMc1973 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This must what it's like when both your teams get to the cup final. Want an indians win but can't ignore that cubs offense. Indians have a pitcher shortage which will cost us in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Was reading last night that even the pubs around Wrigley are charging $250 at the door when games are on over the next two nights before you even pay for a $10 beer. That's disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasMc1973 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The prices for anything to do with american sports , particularly the finals, is disgusting. Watching parties not even downtown in Cleveland were over $100. And ticket prices to just stand in the stadium was $83...not gauranteed to even see the field...then stub hub its not even mentioning without a remortgage...

A lot of Cubs fans snapped up the $400 and $500 dollar tickets for Cleveland as an average seat at Wrigley for these World Series games is costing $4000. Standing room was $2000. That is just wrong considering the same ticket for a league game was $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well, they've taken it to Cleveland at least after the win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Yep, who knows what'll happen now. Arrieta (Cubs) and Tomlin( Indians) projected starters for Tuesday. Tomlin pitched Saturday so that's a quick turnaround. Arrieta is 15-3 on the road thus season. Edited October 31, 2016 by biffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Cubbies battering them here. A grand slam from Addison in a World Series game. Superb! Tonight should tie the series at 3-3 with one final winner takes all tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Cubs hammered them 9-3 to take it to the final night tomorrow. What a perfomance tonight. My favourite pitcher Hendricks starting tomorrow now. I hope I make my London flight after the party tomorrow if they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll easily win their division and will probably have the best NL record, but will then get the Wild Card winner in the NLDS, which will probably be either Washington or the Mets, and they'll lose. Like Hibs and the Scottish Cup, the Cubs are forever fated to be ultimately unsuccessful, no matter how good they look earlier in proceedings. If only you could have put Scotland will get humped at Wembley in this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been outstanding so far and on Sunday I'll be there to see another win hopefully. Such a buzz about the area just now(without sounding like Paul McStay). Great call to have made in May - hope you had money on it! Brilliant World Series - it must have been a blast being at the games (especially 5 6 and 7). I'm more of a White Sox guy but congrats to the Cubs and great for Chicago. At last a (long overdue) win for the north side elite 1908 - 2016 - 2124 ??
