I still can't wrap my head around that rain delay. The rain wasn't very strong, and when they resumed the game it was still going! Total momentum killer for Cleveland. Not saying it cost the game but it solved no problems whatsoever so wtf.

I think it certainly played to the Cubs advantage. I think what they thought they couldn't have happen was a suspended game since that would be a logistical nightmare so the tarp prevented a worst case scenario.

Jim McMahon wore his Bears jersey to the White House when the Packers won in 1996. The Bears never got to go to the White House after the 1985 season because the Challenger blew up like 3 days after the Super Bowl, and McMahon was Favre's backup so he pretty much took zero snaps all season as a Packer.

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I mentioned that. I love Chicago sports. There's always someone close to give you the business about your team. Even our newspapers give it to each other.

I think it's because they originated as individual blogs and then they were consolidated under a unified banner. They don't bother trying to enforce any real level of quality. Hell, even the rules of conduct on different blogs vary greatly.

The Cards picked up Jaime Garcia's option, which is sadly the best thing they've done today.

(It's a very sound move, considering he's a good trade chip in a year where the FA pitching crop is non-existent)

Awesome. To finish that story...I went to my local grocery store to buy a newspaper this morning around 8:30 and as soon as I walked through the first door I knew it wasn't happening. My favorite check-out lady friend was just shaking her head "Sorry Benny we're all out of paypahs but our boys sure brought it last night didn't they?". Her family is season ticket holders for 30-some years, 100% local Chicago thick accent the works. We chatted a bit about the game and I left. I get a block down the street and I hear behind me "Haaaaaay Benny! I gotcha paypahs! I gotcha paypahs! The truck came in" and she was running me down full tilt on the sidewalk with a whole bundle of tribunes - so yeah I got some paypahs and ah pack ah polishes for dinnah.

I hate the 90s

Baseball is over so:

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

Well that was certainly bittersweet. I'm a born and raised Clevelander, but also lived in Chicago for a bit before moving down here to Memphis. I never in a million years thought the Indians and the Cubs would be in the World Series together. I'll always root for the Cubs, unless they're playing Cleveland. What an amazing World Series that was!

One thing that really shocked me was the fact that even though the game was in Cleveland, it felt like a Cubs home game. That was crazy.
