The games have gone how I thought they would with the exception of game 3, which I thought the Cubs would win (So I thought the Cubs would take the series 4 games to 2).  Tonight depends on what Kluber has left in the tank.  He needs to give them 5 or 6 innings and 1 run.  I normally would worry about Hendricks given his relative inexperience but he hasn't appeared to be phased by much of anything so far. 

I think tonight is a toss-up but momentum is on Cubs side.  Cubs 3, Indians 1.  My son is a die hard Indians fan so I'll be rooting that I got this wrong.

Obviously, I'm hoping he is strong.  He's had pretty low pitch counts his last three starts (89, 88 and 81), so I hope that helps him.

I live a 15 minute walk north of Clark and Addison. Will be watching at home with friends but will certainly take a walk down there if things go well for the northside nine.  Go Cubs.

Going to old crow in wrigleyville for the game. Anyone else going?

I've been at Irish Oak across the street since 11.

You could probably fire a cannon on the Kennedy at 7:30 tonight and not hit anyone.

I think it will be good for MU if the Cubs win.

My brother-in-law doesn't have tickets for tonight so his curse won't be in play - congrats on the W.

About as good as the Royals win was for Creighton.

See Brew strange things can happen. Good Luck tonight.

I'm glad they went down 3-1. Got the nerves out, I'm just enjoying this.

Edit: From down 3-1 in the series to up 3-1 in game 7. Damn them for getting my hopes back up.

Might not have mattered, but not a great night for Tito. No way Kluber should have started 5th.

Amen. Inexplicable.

Conversely, I hope Hendricks doesn't get pulled now. Errors are why he gave up a run. Let him keep going. You don't have to do to Lester next.

I think the Cubs still pull this out, but between the balls/strikes being called, managing, and Cubs defense, this has been a mess.
