That was a tense game... Would have been times 2 for me if I didn't know the outcome before the game, thanks to

Great game. Some tough calls. And easily worst call of the night was Tito leaving Bauer in after that Homer and a double.

Gotta give it to the cubs fans everyone in my section was very classy and nice (besides maybe a couple bad apples :) )

Sounds like you had a great time despite the outcome. Worst calls for me goes to the strike zone. Seems like it was all over the place.

When I was in Wrigley this summer w/my Dad, we were blown away at how classy Cubs fans were toward others, including us Met fans. Even though as a group, they're starting to get on my nerves with their stupid "Go Cubs Go." I'm rooting for Cleveland but glad I'm not a fan or I'd be stressed the next 36 hours...

Keep telling yourself it is just a game. As I watched some the expressions on the fans faces last night you would have thought the life of their child was on the line.

The difference is that Trump doesn't have two mini elections that the probability of each one is around 50%, and Trump doesn't have a starting pitcher named Arrieta going in the first mini election. So, odds wise it may be similar, but reality wise, we have a series, or at least in 36 hours from now we will hopefully have a series.

Probability in first mini election is a lot higher than 50% for the Cubs.  ;)

Probability and Vegas odds aren't equal when it comes to the Cubs. Vegas has made lots of money on them over the last 108 years.

True but with the pitching match up they should be the favorite.

All the sports writers are saying the one decision that won last night for the Cubs was putting Chapman in, but it's not true. The one decision that won last night for the Cubs was leaving drone boy in after giving up a homer and a double. And I don't want to hear any of this hindsight garbage every Cleveland fan couldn't believe he left him in during the game. I said take him out and put in miller after the homer, clearly the guy is slumping 3 innings is more than anyone expected from him.

Actually when it comes to stuff like this I just go with the facts. While Vegas will skew the line they are not idiots and know if they skew it to much they will get burned.

If the Cubs win, bringing Chapman in with one out in the 7th will be hailed as a brilliant move. If they lose though, it may be what costs them the game.
I think you're right about Bauer
