They have to keep this up! I really need this right now

[Meacon Keaton]

If the Cubs win this game, they need to just leave Heyward's ass in Chicago. He's not needed in Cleveland. All he'll do is strike out eight more times.

Feel like the Indians should have just gone with Merritt or even Salazar.  Bauer was bad the last time out, little reason to expect anything different on short rest.

Guess Cubs are just gonna ride Chapman as far as he'll take them this game?

[Meacon Keaton]

He'll actually start Game Six.

Sounds like the Indians had a similar plan with Allen.

I suspect Francona plans on using Miller to get the save should they take the lead.

Well he's doing a little more this inning...or at least he tried.

Cubs stay in it

[MalaCloudy Black]

STILL ALIVE

[gunnar hendershow]

Hell of a job from Chapman.

[Draevyn]

The W flies again. They're fighters, I'll give them that.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I'm glad that Cubs fans got a win at home.

[Your Mom]

I'm alone in my house but I'm still singing along  

[The Buscher]

Glad the Cubs got a win at home.  They deserve it.

I think this is all going to come down to Kluber needing to put together another gem in Game 7 to ward off collapsing the World Series.

Actually if it comes to that I'd kinda wish the Cavs didn't win the NBA Title.  Cubs and their history vs. Factory of Sadness Cleveland in Game 7 would have been ridiculous.

What I love about Aroldis Chapman is he pitches like a kid playing MLB The Show. 0-2 count? He'll still throw a fastball right down the middle. No breaking stuff. Nothing low and away. Just throw it as hard as you can. And you can get away with it too, when you can toss it in there as hard as he does. I really hope he comes back to the Bronx this winter.

I don't.

Time to be positive about something. The Cubs WILL win tonight!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Couple of batting lineup changes tonight: Baez is hitting #9, Heyward in the 8 spot, Schwarber #2, Bryant in the #3 spot.

Also, in news not related to the World Series, the Mets' Jeurys Familia was arrested Monday on domestic violence charges.

Just last month he appeared in this:

Someone bought a pair of tickets to tonight's game for $64,000 off of StubHub. Tickets are right next to the Cubs on deck circle. I can't imagine having that kind of money to drop on a game.
