World Series: Cubs vs. Indians

[Chris]

Watched like 30 seconds of the players singing GO CUBS GO or whatever that idiotic song is, and wanted to put a bullet in my brain.

We were chanting "Fuck the Cubbies" at game 6.

I was eating at a restaurant with ESPN on all the TVs. Had to slink down to avoid looking at any parade or game highlights. Fuck that noise.

Ha! I just realized there was not a single vote for Cubs in 7 on the poll. Or was it removed?

All my friends that are Cubs fans were very respectful and understood we were playing with one arm tied behind our backs.

Too bad Tito had replaced Coco since he had the key hits in all our clinching games and his spot in the order was the last out of the game. Gotta feel if Coco was in there, something crazy would have happened. Even though I am disappointed, I am very happy with this season and I think there will be more Indians fans around the country now.

Tito played it as best he could. His hands were tied by then. Proud of my team, we fought until we had nothing left. #ROLLTRIBE!!

No votes for Cubs in 7. Nothing was removed.

Wasn't a knock on Tito, just the circumstances that ended up happening that it was Coco's spot at the last at bat. #ROLLTRIBE!!X2

Talked to my buddy that got me the tickets. He is so furious with the Indians front office. The reason: All the Cubs fans at our home games. Ya see its been put out there that most of the tickets that were sold to Stubhub were from Indians season ticket holders. Truth is those tickets were sold to Stubhub by the Indians. My buddy never had the chance to buy tickets because they were already sold out. The Indians and MLB don't want to take the heat from fans, so they put it out to the media that it was the season ticket holders fault. Not saying that some tickets were sold by season ticket holders. But from what I saw at game 6 he seems to be correct. The Cubs fans had entire sections all to themselves. It ruined home field advantage in alot of ways. It also ruined the experience for many Indian fans. Damn shame.

I have nothing but pride and respect fr this Indians team. It's good to see a lot of fans feel the same way.

It's one thing to be disappointed as a Tribe fan that we couldn't pull off the WS game 7 win. It's something completely different to make any statement to the effect that this team had any kind of epic or historic failure. Anyone with that type of take can just STFU as far as I'm concerned, you're a shitty fan if you believe that.

A 3-1 choke job. It's the truth.

But everything else is on point. An amazing season and post season considering the injuries.

Our run through the playoffs was of epic proportions. It was the most fun I have had as an Indians fan, EVER. The final outcome was heartbreaking, yes it was. But I would not trade the ride for anything. We will be back!!!!!

Funny how these great home teams only managed to win one home game each and it went 7 games. Baffling.

But guys, it's Sports Karma.

Apparently we, Clevelanders deserve it because we've been bragging about the fact that we came back against a gang of pompous assholes who were crowing themselves the greatest NBA team of all time, and were punching people in the balls.

...

Seriously I saw a couple of those signs pop up and it was the most limp dick thing I've ever seen.

I wish I could say that, in all intellectual honesty, but I can't.

I thought it was a mistake to start Bauer twice, and I thought starting Naquin in center was a mistake.

Sure, the Cubs were the better team. But, with a few more plays/breaks/better decisions, WIN. The Cubs being the better team just meant we had little margin for error; but we made errors.

I never trusted Bauer. In Game 5, I would have gone with Merritt/Salazar/bullpen. And I thought Tito left Tomlin and Kluber in too long, when they clearly didn't have.

Right up until Game 5, I loved this team, for how a different guy stepped up every game. But those last three games, a lot of different guys came up small. But we still had one last chance. And then God fucked us.

Tito built his reputation on trusting his players and getting them to perform their best.

Obviously, Bauer not starting was not even a consideration. Certainly not for an unhealthy Salazar or for a rookie in Merritt.

Tito did his job and then some, it's up to Bauer, Tomlin and Kluber to get the job done against an incredible Cubs offense. They didn't. That's the way it goes.
