Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago Cubs

Indians in 7
The night of the All-Star Game, I was picturing how cold it will be in early November in Cleveland. I think we will get the chance to find out. Cubs are an all-time great team, loaded top to bottom at the plate and at the mound. The Indians, however, are a team of destiny. 2016.
Six months ago, I would have never imagined we would be in this position.
While the national sports media understandably - if annoyingly- focuses on the "lovable" Cubs and their long title drought, the Indians have overcome a spate of injuries to bring the new City of Champions to the brink once more. Led by Tito Francona's managerial magic and a game-shortening bullpen, the Tribe closes out what has been a wondrous four months of Cleveland fandom.
Indians in 7 The Tribe has the best bullpen in this Series, if the starters can get us a lead into the 6th inning, then Ball Game! Kluber must be special in each game he pitches so we can lean on the bullpen in the other games. Looking for Lindor to continue to shine and Napoli, Kipnis, Santana, and Ramirez to hit in the clutch. The City of Champions is alive and well!!!
And when our history-making rally in the bottom of the 9th is complete, we will spill out on to the downtown streets as children of a new dynasty- celebrating the Golden Age of The Land.

In Cleveland, nothing is easy, everything is earned–so why wouldn't it come down to a nail biting 7th game? This time around, however, I'd prefer not going down 3 games to 1 thank you very much. The Tribe caps off one of the greatest sports runs in any city's history.
