You really need to give it a break and face reality.
Look at it this way. You had two underdogs for championships this year and came away with one. Isn't that a good outcome?
Seems I misread. I thought you meant the cubs and Indians. Not the cavs and Indians.

It was the Telshe curse.
Care to elaborate? I heard about it, but not sure I got the details. Also, doesn't the Cav's win take care of the curse?

I think it was specifically for the Indians.

BREAKING NEWS: Chicago Cubs are being forced to give up their World Series title.
 Cleveland Indians fans have rioted across the country in protest of the 2016 World Series. Despite knowing the rules of the game prior to playing, they were unhappy they lost and demanded the outcome to be changed. They could be heard chanting #NotOurWorldSeriesChampion all across America.
 Even though the Cubs won 4 games and the Indians only won 3, since both teams scored 27 total runs throughout all 7 games, they are being declared co-world champions.
 When questioned, Commissioner Manfred stated, "We felt as though it was the right thing to do for the nation. What kind of example would Major League Baseball be setting if we expected the adults who play this game, and their fans, to gracefully accept defeat? Instead of creating a bigger divide between the Cubs and Indians, MLB is confident that the Cubs will gladly share their victory with the Indians."

Rav Elya Meir Bloch, when the yeshiva dinner was poorly attended because there was a World Series game that night.

I have no idea if the story is true (I would tend to doubt it).

But did home field advantage really make a difference?

Just the facts. Cubs with Schwarber 3-1, Cubs without Schwarber 1-2.
