Crazy game. For any time, much less a game 7.

If this goes bad, I'm really sorry for the quote, Steve.

Has a come-from behind walk-off home run ever been hit in a do-or-die game?

not sure about home runs, there have been come-from-behind walk off base hits.

Congrats Steve.

I was totally expecting that throw from Bryant to end up in Section 138

Wow! What a game, series and overall postseason.

Congrats to the Cubs faithful!!!

THere you go. Heyward was the glue guy.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:55 pm

Heyward sounded like a 60 year old.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Wed Nov 02, 2016 11:58 pm

Can Bartman go downtown and celebrate?

He's like the old man coach in The Natural.

Millions of drunk Cubs fans rioting in heaven

Bryant, that cocky MFer was smiling before he even picked up the ball. I love him.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Thu Nov 03, 2016 1:14 am

The last time there were ties in back to back weeks in the NFL, the Cleveland Indians lost the world series in 7.

Wow.

I don't want to go to bed.

Can we add Carl Edwards, Jr. to the list of thought they were white list? I thought FOX was just promoting a race this weekend.

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Thu Nov 03, 2016 8:24 am

I fell asleep when they put the tarp on. I assume that the Cubs lost in the 22nd after Maddon put himself in to pitch?

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Nov 03, 2016 8:31 am

Actually Maddon threw the equivalent of a perfect game in innings 12-20.

Post by **Sabo** » Thu Nov 03, 2016 9:21 am

Sometimes, you just gotta tip your cap. Congrats, Cubs fans, and steve in particular.

Although the Tribe lost, they had a great season. They made it to game seven of the World Series despite losing two starting pitchers for long stretches of the season, losing their starting catcher for much of the season due to two major injuries, AND playing the entire season when their best player got 11 at bats. More importantly, almost all of their good players will be back for the next two or three seasons. There’s a reason to be optimistic about the baseball team here.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Nov 03, 2016 9:41 am

The missing SPs has to be a killer knowing Francona dominated Maddon in this one.

Probably an understatement. I like the chances of a World Series rematch next year (even with vagaries of playoff baseball figured in).
