Cubs’ clinched most-viewed LCS game on TV since 2010

We’re going to the World Series.

The Series starts just after a ceremony across the street when LeBron James and the Cavaliers receive championship rings before their opener celebrating this year’s National Basketball Association title, the first for Cleveland’s big league teams since the NFL’s Browns in 1964. “When we got home from Boston, there was a monumental parade”.

Added pitching coach Mickey Callaway: “I expect him, if he gets through this OK, to be available at some point in the World Series“. “This is the most excited I’ve been, as well as other Cubs fans have been, in a long time, I think”.

Second baseman Jason Kipnis hurt his left ankle following Game 5 in Toronto.

“We have seen (prices) increase during the NLCS as the Cubs looked more likely to win the series“, SeatGeek spokesperson Chris Leyden, whose site has tracked the secondary market since 2010, said. It had been a long time coming and this Cinderella team proved that they were not going to let history or a renowned curse get in their way of reaching their ultimate goal.

Weinberg senior Juan Rodriguez, who went to Wrigleyville for Saturday’s game, said he feels optimistic about the upcoming games.

Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians, is setup for baseball’s upcoming World Series against the Chicago Cubs and the Quicken Loans Arena is seen in the background on Monday, Oct. 24, 2016 in Cleveland. The Indians have won the pennant in 1954, 1995 and 1997 before 2016, but lost in the World Series to the New York Giants in 1954, the Atlanta Braves in 1995 and Florida Marlins in 1997.

Major League Baseball just announced the details for the ceremonial and off-field stuff in connection with Games 1 and 2 of the World Series. For his team, it’s about putting the energy into Tuesday night. Kris Bryant’s entire time with the Cubs occurred in the last two years.

After believing their team was cursed by a goat, crossed by a black cat and undone by one of their own, after checking their sanity at the turnstiles for seven decades and counting, fans of the team on the North Side of town no longer needed any excuses.

“This is epic. I told somebody, to be part of something so big – in this World Series, for this organization, this city – it’s bigger than any one of us”. Maybe next week, maybe next month, with Game 7 scheduled for November 2.

Schwarber, who hasn’t played in a major-league game since tearing ligaments in his left knee April 7, was expected to play Sunday in a simulated game that could determine whether his timing at the plate and his knee are sound enough to face the Indians. The Tribe has been dominant in this postseason and the team enters the World Series with much-needed rest.

Everyone around the Cubs remembers how Schwarber starred during that wild-card showdown against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the ball he smashed off the St. Louis Cardinals onto the top of a Wrigley Field video board, putting up five homers and a 1.308 OPS during last year’s playoffs, which happened to be the end of his first full season in professional baseball. “It’s dumping all these emotions into something that never gives you anything back. It’s going to be a great night for us”. Jackie Robinson broke the game’s color barrier two years after the Cubs were last in the World Series.

“These fans have been awesome since the time I got here”, Rizzo said. Back then, the possibility was met with the usual skepticism from locals, who muttered it was only a matter of time before the Indians buckled.
