WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[riboflav]

No, we're never going to finish this game.

 

[speedracer]

Calling this a draw and having game 8 tomorrow would be awesome

 

[troparra]

Bill Murray says the heavy stuff's not gonna come down for a while.

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose; sometimes it rains.

 

[InsideTheParker]

This is an incredibly exciting game, but if they put the tarp on, I'm going to bed. My team ain't playing.

Dammit I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I'm going to try to sleep. Great game, hate to leave it. Have fun!

 

[Beomoose]

If it goes to tomorrow, Cubs get Arrieta back.

You think Maddon's ever taking Chapman out of this game?

 

[Brand Name]

How much could I have gotten on this prop bet: An UMPIRE is the first person interviewed after 9 innings tonight!

 

[CreedBratton]

The tarp wow

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Hirschbeck clearly doesn't have a meteorology degree.

 

[DanoooME]

Do they reopen the beer tubs at The Jake?

I'd be surprised if there was any alcohol left in the place. They all have to be drunk to get through this game.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Bill Murray says the heavy stuff's not gonna come down for a while.

Nice

 

[McBride11]

Hirschbeck said there is nothing behind this??
The bigger storm is behind this

 

[canderson]

Pretty sure if Boston was in this game I'd be dead.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

M Night Shmayalan getting too cute with the manuscript

 

[Moviegoer]

Bill Murray says the heavy stuff's not gonna come down for a while.

Outstanding.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Awful decision by the crew looking at the radar

Really screws Cleveland, Shaw done more than likely

 

[ngruz25]

Never seen a sideline reporter interview an official in the middle of a game before. I'm guessing MLB called that one in.

 

[aksoxfan]

All-Star game next year decides the winner.

You win!

 

[DJnVa]

Bill Murray says the heavy stuff's not gonna come down for a while.

AccuWeather says rain done in 10 minutes

 

[PseuFighter]

Have a board meeting at 10. Hope there's a decision soon-ish. This stinks.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Let's watch how MLB fucks this up. Only way to do this is to pick it up in prime time tomorrow. All day to talk about it.

That would be the best way to finish this. Hype would be through the roof all day and ratings would be great. Instead people by the millions are turning this off and will miss the ending.

 

[shawnrbu]

Where is Pete Rose?

 

[rajendra82]

Pretty sure if Boston was in this game I'd be dead.

Alcohol poisoning?

 

[riboflav]

Plumber here at 7. Drop kid off at school at 8. Car at mechanic at 9. Damn you, rain!

 

[glasspusher]

A penguin is going to fly in, steal the ball, and the Cubs will win by Global Warming.

Penguins can only fly in water

 

[Catcher Block]

Delay it for as long as needed. Suspending a Game 7 sets a real shitty precedent.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

Pretty sure if Boston was in this game I'd be dead.

I just said the same to my wife

I'm going to sleep

Bye bye

 

[miracleofmidre]

That big line of storms is over 70 miles from Cleveland. Wtf?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

For the first time in a year-plus, I'm psyched not to have a job to go to tomorrow

 

[Hagios]

Alcohol poisoning?

Adrenaline poisoning.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That would be the best way to finish this. Hype would be through the roof all day and ratings would be great. Instead people by the millions are turning this off and will miss the ending.

Plus we'd get to make fun of the NFL's shitty ratings and shitty Thursday football some more.

 

[DJnVa]

Hirschbeck said there is nothing behind this??
The bigger storm is behind this

True, but they should have 45-60 minutes before it arrives.

 

[ngruz25]

But imagine the ratings if they played extra innings tomorrow night...

 

[MakMan44]

Yeah, I'm out. Night all, let's go Indians!!

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Hirschbeck clearly doesn't have a meteorology degree.

Well I do and I'm a little perplexed. Yes it's raining fairly heavily but it's going to be brief. Delaying the game now just gives the real heavier precip time to catch up.

 

[Van Everyman]

So when does Fox start showing reruns of The Tim McCarver Show to pass the time?

 

[Marciano490]

Rain favors Cubs right? Messes up Allen, who looked far sharper than Chapman.

At least if they reschedule till tomorrow night it messes with NFL ratings one more time.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

WTAM Cleveland just said the grounds crew has been told to stay close.

 

[staz]

Where is Pete Rose?

Cashier's window?

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Never seen a sideline reporter interview an official in the middle of a game before. I'm guessing MLB called that one in.

Breaking protocol is all the rage these days, it seems.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Chapman in tears...do not feel sorry for this guy. Not one bit. Dirtbag

And speaking of dirtbags....HEEERRRREEEESSS SLAPPY!

 

[rembrat]

WE ARE BACK

 

[moondog80]

Allen is already out of the game. Shaw is in.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

WTAM Cleveland just said the grounds crew has been told to stay close.

As opposed to what? Going home?

 

[rotundlio]

Chapman's been throwing this 99-mph piffle ever since his CG in Game 5. Man if Taz lost three ticks off his heater he'd be throwing mopup in the NPB

Maddon just makes shit up as he goes along and is lauded as a genius for it. He has some sort of aversion to Strop and Rondón, who are dominatingly good relievers.

I hope this goes 18

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Everyone went home.

 

[strek1]

Nah, Joe will have Chapman throwing under the stands to stay warm, he'll be back

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Chapman in tears. Good, fuck him.

 

[86spike]

WTF?

Why even use the tarp?

 

[aksoxfan]

Call it a tie. Shake hands. Go play golf tomorrow.
