Game 1 weather calls for cooler, but dry temps

It is the first World Series berth for the Cubs since 1945. He’d spend the next two decades being a journeyman outfielder, making stops in Montreal, Cincinnati, Chicago, San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Texas, Atlanta, and Toronto. In 2003, they led three games to one vs. the Marlins and lost three in a row. The 36-year-old switch-hitter is savoring his second World Series, this time with the team he started with. Addison Russell (22) is an All-Star shortstop with power and Gold Glove aspirations.

There are only seven games left to be played of major league baseball this year, if the series merits seven games, and those will be played by the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians with game one starting tonight at 8 eastern at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The greatest day in Cleveland sporting history began on Tuesday with Major League Baseball’s Indians hosting the World Series opener while the Cavaliers unveiled their National Basketball Association championship banner to open a new season.

Webb, playing short, scooped up the ground ball off Johnson’s bat and touched second base to record the final out.

“It seems like it’s just forever”, Robinson said Monday from his home in Fort Worth, Texas. A starter in the minors, the one potential negative about losing Zastryzny is if the starting pitcher gets knocked out early, the Cubs will have to burn Travis Wood, Justin Grimm or Mike Montgomery in long relief, perhaps shortening the bullpen a bit in the following game.

Regardless of race and culture, the Cubs win has put a smile on many faces.

Zobrist generated a lot of interest in the market place, but the Cubs signed him on December 8 and he responded with a solid regular season, hitting 18 homers and scoring 94 runs while posting a.386 on-base percentage.

Maybe worse than the Cubs having an evil wizard on their side, the Cleveland Indians may have something even worse: The nicest guy on the planet, Tom Hanks.

As the Indians and Cubs got ready for first pitch, Cleveland celebrated its first championship in 52 years next door.

He already broke out in the NLCS, and now Baez gets the chance to continue to do so while also ending the most famous championship drought in the history of sports.

He went 1-for-6 with a double during his brief AFL stint, then hopped a private jet Monday night to Cleveland.

Indians manager Terry Francona and Cubs manager Joe Maddon are cut from the same cloth in that way.

As a rookie, Schwarber hit.246 with 16 homers and 43 RBIs in 71 games. “So we just kind of disregard it and go out and play”. “That’s hard to do at 20 or whatever he is”. There would be no quick fixes, so his team went to work finding value in the draft (Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber) and trade market (Anthony Rizzo, Jake Arrieta, etc.) before finally signing some big free agents these last two offseasons (Jon Lester, Jason Heyward) for the near-final touches. Miller has never given up a run, earned or otherwise, in his entire postseason career.

Tickets to games 3, 4 and 5 at Wrigley are listed on TickPick for an average of $10,590 and $3,862 for games 1,2, 6 and 7 in Cleveland.

“I’m like: ‘Schwarbs what are you doing?”

At least he’s off the hook as far as the Cubs are concerned. Four more, and as Maddon said, “We can really have a party”.
