This is absolutely unreal, and we haven't even won it all yet.

Pulling for the Cubbies in the World Series. It's about time that curse/streak dies. (Still wish it was the Phillies playing in the WS instead though)

Schwarber returned to the field this past Saturday playing for the Mesa Solar Sox out in Arizona. Even though he went 0-3, it was encouraging to see him out there and there have been reports of him joining the Cubs for the World Series.

10/22 @thekapman: I just spoke with Theo about Kyle Schwarber. Says he's a month ahead of schedule. They will watch him via video. Definitely a possibility.

 

Edit: Cubs: Joe Maddon says "it's a possibility" Kyle Schwarber makes World Series roster; will discuss in staff meeting Mon. (ESPN)

You know I was all in on cheering for Cleveland but now I see upsides to both teams winning. It's amazing what one name in the lineup can change how you view a team.

Ross and Coughlin.

I like Ross but wish we had Contreras Bat. Batting Scwarber 5th is a bold, bold move. Could have put him at 7, 8.

Also, no Heyward. Impressive and bold managing. Now, let's see if it pays off.

So pumped for this series to start. I'll be in Chicago this Saturday can't wait.

Not that my 2 cents matter, but here it is.

I'm torn on this series. I love Schwarber and Zobrist. Schwarber for his IU ties and Zobrist for his service (and his wife's) in Tampa Bay.

But then there's Joe Maddon, a man who quit on Tampa Bay, yet opened a restaurant in South Tampa to use us as a revenue stream. Screw him.

A real love/hate thing with the Cubs.

Then again, I know nothing about Cleveland or baseball in general. Baseball is the most boring pasttime, and yes I'm including tidily winks.

I hope somehow Schwarber wins and everybody else loses. Go Hoosiers

Can completely agree with that last little paragraph.

Hmmm... Rough start.

Lester is shook 

[hsrtxp 1,400]

See what he's made of now that he's got that inning behind him.
