World Series

I figured they were rained out for the night so went to bed. Was actually surprised the Cubs had won it. Thought they had lost their momentum.

My wife knows nothing about baseball. We had fun with it. She picked the Indians, I took the Cubs. She was more fun to watch than the game. What a rollercoaster.

Last night was first time my wife watched a baseball game start to finish. She was rooting for the Cubs as the underdogs and yes, she was riding that roller coaster. Even gave me a high 5 when the Cubs took the lead back. I think she's a Cubs fan for life now

Same here. My lady friend and I watched the last three games together. We also choose the Cubs just out of pure chance since we don't follow any event all that closely. That final game was quite a thriller, even for us really old folks.

Baseball really does makes "America Great Again".

Been a Cub fan since I knocked on Ron Santo's door when I was 9 years old to say hi, then went to my first game on a field trip from school the same year. I could name more players from then, than I can from the team now...you don't have to watch them to love them :drink:

Nice win for Cubs.....Had they lost I would of worried for the pitching discussions made by Maddon....

Not sure if that is anywhere close to text book thinking.....Great players, will take huge money to keep them together for even a few years!

Their current Cubs payroll is 172 million. The Indian's payroll is 96 Mil. That's a big reason the Indians were such underdogs through all of this. They were getting a lot of bang for their buck.

Oh yes.....I think that was payroll at start of season.....It is higher do to some trades also....

I was looking those numbers up......Interesting fact....All payroll added up is just short of 4 billion dollars....So even MLB is a huge part of our economy...

I say in 2 years Cubs payroll will be largest in MLB......All that wall st. money from there owners!

Do they always play 7 games and if not when was the last time it went less?
