10/30 World Series Game 5 Cleveland (Bauer) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:00 CDT Fox

[DurbanJer]

would be nice if we put up a few runs here to take the pressure off my horsefeathering heart.

[Tim]

Let Chapman start the ninth, but have Strop ready

[d_money]

Let's grind out the AB's and make these guys pay!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This is crazy. Unless you are Dorthy or somebody who remembers 1945, this is like the biggest game we have ever known. Until we win, and then Game 6 will be. Then Game 7.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that wasn't a strike :(

YOU SHUT YOUR DIRTY WHORE MOUTH RIGHT NOW

[bcl412]

Win this please. Chapman didn't throw as hard that inning. I'm not sure I'll send him back out be he'll be out there.

[Little Slide Rooter]

OK, good job Chapman. I feel better with a fresh Strop in the 9th.

 

I don't :-&

[Tim]

that wasn't a strike :(

Neither was strike three to Bryant

[DurbanJer]

So we bringing in T Wood in the 9th to nail this down right??

 

 

:shock: :shock:

[Billy_Buck]

Just get this one. Don't care how, just win it!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

please get a run or 2 or 11

[BigSlick]

Ron Coomer wants Bryant-Lester as co-MVPs....what?

Kerry wood

[Schwarber Fan]

that wasn't a strike :(

 

Neither were like 5 of the 7 called strikeouts by CLE pitching tonight.

[Bote McBoteface]

I want strop for the 9th

[Mike Aller]

that wasn't a strike :(

Neither was strike three to Bryant

 

Fair enough. But, that was our best chance. :(

[Schwarber Fan]

Of this game, I gather.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

really shouldn't have to worry about Chapman's spot coming up

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Have to get Strop up, at least.

[SheffieldBoy]

idk why, maybe with that aerial shot, but i just had a moment where I flashbacked to Friday morning and how many thought tonight could have been a world series clinching game for the Cubs.. it's so strange how much that narrative changed in about 30 hours.

[LeonDurham]

Take sign.

[Cubfanintheknow]

really shouldn't have to worry about Chapman's spot coming up

 

I'd be very surprised if they pitch to Contreras with nobody on and two out.

[Tim]

that wasn't a strike :(

Neither was strike three to Bryant

 

Fair enough. But, that was our best chance. :(

I think you guys have gotten the worst of the zone today. Not quite as bad as it was for us in game 1, though.

 

btw - good to see ya, Mike.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Maddon elects to let the best defensive outfielder in the world stay in the game to protect a 1 run lead in the 9th, people paid to write about baseball baffled

[LeonDurham]

Maybe not. Wow he actually squared it up.
