So +185 now?
Hmm...

I can put it in for anyone that wants it. As I said before if I wasn't a Cub fan I would be all over this. Cubs should be favorites but not 2-1.

I have four World Series tickets game 6 for sale. Make me your best offer!

Fine print: This is for the 1984 WS that the Cubs never made it to but I have the tickets framed.

Lol. I have the same for 2007.

Would you pay 900 for two skybox tickets for Sundays game if it was not a clinching game?

The only way I fly to Chicago is if the Indians are up 3-1.

I have to give those two guys credit for dreaming the impossible dream.

If there's one thing LBJ is good for, it's for showing Clevelanders that dreams do come true.

Did you really have to go there? This is such a great story and you had to bring that ***** into it.

Only problem is it's a lot harder in this sport to ride one man. Kluber can give you 3 at best, Miller can pitch in 4-5, but you can't just jump on one guy's back the way you do in other sports. Unless Lindor or someone becomes Daniel Murphy...

Kluber isn't three times as good as Kershaw. I'm confident in Lackey beating him and not seeing him a third time.

Not my point at all.

I understand. I'm just saying in this context, it takes an even higher level of bitachon, though I'll concede that the two opponents were about equally formidable.

Warriors built for regular season. Cubs built for the playoffs. Their biggest strength is defense, and smart players who to the most part don't make crucial mistakes. That's why Starlin Castro didn't fit in...

Give me a break. Warriors were up 3-1 in the finals and likely would have won in 5 if green isn't an idiot.

Cubs hitting is very controllable with good pitching. And there pitching isn't dominant (outside of Lester). And they could use another good reliever to be an ideal playoff team

Eh. Then why didn't they win 6 or 7?

I agree with Dan, Green was there for 6 & 7. If Irving was health in 15 or if Lebron never smashed into the cameraman the Warriors would have never won one championship.
Arrieta, Hendricks and Lackey all could be dominant on any given night, which is as good as anyone can ask for historically except for Schilling and Bumgarner who are consistently dominant. Their hitting is somewhat controllable with great pitching, but whose isn't?
