The MLB 2016 Season Thread

The baseball gods don't want either drought to end. 6-6 in the 8th! An all time series.

Should have let Hendricks finish the 5th.

Extra innings! And it's been raining. Who knows when this will end? Ironically, rain could extend the droughts longer.

Edit: They're rolling out the tarps.

Decent sized storms are 70 to 100 minutes away.

Alex Jones will claim that Obama coerced MLB to have the Cubs win the series before he left office...

Isn't Obama a White Sox fan?

That was an exciting game. The rain delay nearly screwed me up. I had recorded the game and I was about 90 minutes behind live. My recording ran out but thankfully I only missed a few minutes before I joined the live broadcast. But what a game, an absolute classic. Well done to the Cubs and particularly David Ross.

Came straight out of my ass. This is Alex Jones/ infowars.com we are talking about. Nothing is that too far out from that site.

Most dramatic sporting event I ever watched.
Cubs offense saved Maddon's ass from his inane pitching decisions, and I got to respect Chapman for being able to pitch a perfect 9th inning after blowing the save in the 8th (which was more Maddon's fault than his).

Congrats to the Cubs. See you back here in 108 years. Nah, they're good, they could be starting a little dynasty here. The last time they did win 108 years ago, it was back-to-back, fwiw.
