I'm not a baseball fan, but even I know this is an excellent matchup if for no other reason than how long it's been since either team has won a WS.  The Cubs haven't won a WS since 1908, and haven't been to the WS since 1948.  Cleveland was last there in 1997 and last one the WS in 1948.  One teams going to get a long awaited WS title this year.

This will be fun. I have a friend who has a Cub's WS win on his bucket list. I'm not a big baseball fan either but I'll be tuned in to this series.

May the least cursed team win!

Same.  I've not been much into baseball ever since the strike, but this looks like it could be fun to watch.  I actually teared up a little when Rizzo got that final out and the whole park went berserk.

Indeed.  I've got a particular soft spot for the Cubs, but I'll be happy no matter which team wins.

It's going to be tough for the Indians given how the owner has undermined them at every turn.

I have no animus against the Cubs, I just hope the Indians win.  Little stat I heard, the next WS game the Cubs play on television will be their first.

Pulling for the local team, the tribe....what a year it would be if they won in the same year of the cavs and even the minor league hockey team monsters.....pretty safe the browns won't make it a foursome:)

If the Browns win the Superbowl this year, we're all doomed.

Either way, it was better than the Jimmy Fallon Red Sox movie.
