Lemme do the math.
THE STREAK ended April 6th, 2014. 4+6+20+14=44
THIS NUMBER IS RELEVANT.

Cubs record: 103-58. Equals 45
Indians record: 94-67. Equals 27
Therefore, the Cubs win.


Cubs last appeared in the World Series in 1945. 1+9+4+5=19
Indians last appearance was in 1997. 1+9+9+7=26
Not a clean sweep.

2+6+1+9=18

18 and 45 are both divisible by 3.
18/3=6 and 45/3=15
1+5+6=12
Divide by the two teams in the World Series and The Handsome Luchadore Athletic Commission picks the Chicago Cubs to win in SIX games.

What your math is saying is: Rizzo in four.

Normally I would be right there with you but this is history!  

I did the same thing in 2006 when the Tigers won the ALCS. Looking at the "AL Champions" hat only hurt more when they shit themselves in the World Series and lost in 5.

[GhostMachine]

Ugh. Joe West is going to be one of the umpires for the Series. I wish they'd fire his incompetent/crooked ass.

If the Cubs lose due to West rather than being outplayed, I suspect he'd better own a passport.

I have a 2015 Mets/Royals World Series pennant in my cube at work.  My colleague was at Game 5 last year and he bought it for me, and of course they lost the Series that night and he gave me the pennant the next day.  Hanging it up was bittersweet but I didn't want to be rude.  I also got a NL Champs shirt for Christmas that year and of course politely accepted it but I don't think I've worn it once.

Oddly though, I actually have division champs gear from 2006 and 2015  2006 was the first time I ever saw them win the division and last year of course had the incredible second half and overtaking the Nats.  Both times I just got swept up in the moment when I got the gear, probably wouldn't have bothered with division gear had they won it in 2007 or even this year when they were expected to.  It was more about commemorating the improbable journey.

Kyle Schwarber's on the Cubs' World Series roster, after having missed pretty much all of the regular season. He's not cleared to play on the field, but Maddon's considering using him as a DH.

He better after using a roster spot on him

[Meacon Keaton]

Give him Heyward's spot. Even with one leg, he likely will hit better than Jason has this postseason.

[The Buscher]

Schwarber's six month recovery from a torn ACL is impressive, but John Cena would have been back in three.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So nervous!

How can I take my free taco when it was born out of my pain???  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who am I kidding? I am eating that taco!

fucking


really



i'm gonna be over here dying a little

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

JESUS FUCK

David Ross, you're a hero and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[thatshortguy]

I kinda feel like Kluber is getting every single borderline call if it's a matter of inside/outside.  Cubbies will have to be more aggressive.

[Mofoticon]

I love Corey Kluber

Hey this is my gimmick and you used it on my birthday no less. That's a paddlin'

[The Buscher]

Wish someone would tell John Smoltz that the word is "height", not "heighth".

[thatshortguy]

David Ross is single-handedly trying to keep the Cubs in this.  That throw to second was a damned laser.

Edit:  Lester is going to get tossed.

[Your Mom]

Fuck this Umpire man. He is favoring Kluber

[thatshortguy]

Alright, at this point I'd require a team to sub Santana out.  If he's sprawled out in the outfield, there's something worse going on.

Jon Lester is going to go to jail tonight.  He's McMahonian with rage.

[Meacon Keaton]

Carlos Santana's slow ass can't advance on that passed ball.
