I got sick to my stomach after the Cubs gave up another two runs in the 5th, so I went down into my basement to work on my Pinbot. I completely lost track of time, and when I put the game back on, it was the bottom of the 9th. I completely missed the rally.

What a game, though! Those Giants sure are a tough team to close out a series on.

I've got a big dilemma. I can't decide if I should get tickets for a game this series or buy a HEP Medieval Madness.

What an exciting game yesterday! This really does seem like the Cubs year.

I have a friend who is taking her son to the game in LA tonight. They have pretty good seats, and I think they paid something like $250 each. It's amazing how much cheaper the tickets are in LA. I heard the last game at Wrigley was $500 for standing room only.

When the Cubs make it to the World Series, I suspect we will see the highest average ticket prices in the history of sports.

Yep. Their offense just completely disappeared. They better step it up quick, or they might not even take the series back to Chicago.

It will be an interesting game tomorrow for sure. When Kershaw is on, he's practically unhittable. The Cubs have a renewed confidence after the last two games, though, and Hendricks is certainly no slouch himself.

Even without home field advantage, Vegas still has the Cubs as 1-2 favorites to win the series.

Agreed. One of the stupidest changes the league has ever made.

That's funny. I was thinking 0 down, 4 to go ....

Just a reminder that the game is starting an hour earlier tonight because of the weather.

It's amazing that a guy who can pitch as good as Lester can't throw the ball to first. I forgot who the base runner was yesterday, but Lester caught him a mile off the bag. Virtually any other pitcher in the league would have picked him off. It's just so bizarre.

It was great to see Arrieta back in top form with 5 1/3 hitless innings.

Go Cubs!!!!

Has he been medically cleared to start?

Talk about an over qualified pinch hitter ....

I'm pretty sure there were riots after some of the Bulls championships.

Surprisingly, Vegas has the Cubs as slight favorites tonight. I expected them to be slight underdogs. Schwarber being able to come into the lineup as DH turned out to be a huge factor in this series. Ironically, the All Star Game may end up being a blessing in disguise for the Cubs if they win tonight.

Should be an awesome game. Like you, I'm nervous as hell.

No matter how this ends, this will go down as one of the most legendary World Series games of all time.

Sadly, a ton of Sox fans have this exact same attitude. Rooting against the Cubs is even more important to them than rooting for their own team. It's really quite pathetic.

Crosstown rivalries are natural, but the animosity in this particular case is completely one-sided. When the Sox won the World Series in '05, I didn't hear a single Cubs fan say a negative thing about them. A lot of fans were indifferent, but many of them were actually happy for the Sox. In comparison, I heard that some bars on the south side were actually buying a round of drinks every time a Cubs' opponent scored in the post season. Like I said, pathetic.

I'm sorry, but the sheer amount of energy that some Sox fans put into actively hating the Cubs is indeed pathetic.

What's ironic is that the Cubs winning is probably good for the Sox as well, since it will put some pressure on Reinsdorf to improve the team.

Now that the Cubs have "broken the curse", I'd like to see them have Steve Bartman throw out the first pitch at the home opener next year. That would be a real classy move. It was absolutely awful the way Cubs fans treated that guy.
