    Crazy game last night with the Bungles blowing it in a very unsportsmanlike manner, and the Vikings missing a chip shot field goal in Ice Bowl 2016. Talk about heartbreak, wow. Laces out!

    agree there was the missed penalty...plus a missed call on a clip on the kicker as he chased will hill...but the Browns put themselves in the position to depend on refs to save them. I'm loyal to them and feel more stupid every year for being so.

    In the Browns defense, there was a missed penalty on the play... I have to admit though, I was shaking my head in disbelief at that 'kick-six'. I only watched only the final 4 minutes of the game, but they were pretty entertaining. I am speaking as neither a Browns nor a Ravens fanatic. Cheesehead, here. Nice interception by Tramon, hey?

    Browns: new way to lose
    You may deduce from my avatar that I'm a Browns' fan...to be sure, a sad lot in life. Can you believe the creativity they display in total ineptitude? Blown first and second round draft picks, year after year. Overpaying free agents who rarely perform. And they always find ways to lose. But Monday was especially painful. If only my empty football cup could be full again. P.S. My fantasy football team name is the Grateful Dawgs.

    So Billionaire corporation Rogers wont pony up the measly thirty million or so to keep David Price. The Blue Jays are missing ONE thing and thats a bloody Ace in the rotation. Altho I am NOT surprised it still sucks. I cant believe they let him go only to lose him to the fkn Red Sox. THAT is a kick in the nuts.

    He was getting 10,000 for doing pre game but had already had a contract to do a card show in Philly I think they said. His contract expired on the 1st so he went with 25 grand for the card show. This is from a story in the Dailey news NY.

    As a Brewer's fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Matt Harvey in a Brewer's uniform. Especially after losing Gallardo to Texas this year. He was always fun to watch pitch. Harvey's due for at least a contract restructuring. I was surprised to see that he earns 5 or 6 percent of Bartolo Colon's salary! Still talking big bucks; imagine making $600K and feeling 'shortchanged'. Humph, what times we live in...

    The Royals didn't get much respect on Fox, except from Raul Ibanez and Frank Thomas. They were fortunate to win, capitalizing on NY errors. Let's appreciate their win while we can, until free agency disrupts the rosters. Why did Pete Rose vanish from the studio crew?

Funny... perception is everything. I thought the conversations tilted towards Cleveland! (But, then again, I turn it off whenever Rodriquez or Rose are talking. Can't they find some broadcasters that weren't big, fat cheaters?) Given Cleveland's magnificent play, they are due any admiration from the booth. They have been doing everything the Cubs were doing -- before the Series. Congratulations on some fine, fine baseball! Last night's game was hard to watch. Kluber was amazing again, Miller also (I was surprised they left him in so long, though.) My last observation today -- Bill Murray was a disgrace and an embarrassment. Here's hoping the boys can win at least one at Wrigley!

Another great game last night, happy that Cubs fans experienced a Wrigley victory. Classy teams are always fun to watch. I agree to disagree re. Bill Murray. He bleeds Cubbie blue and was just trying to add some levity to a tough game. Here's to a seven game series, and may the best team win.

I would've been ok with Murray if it had been the second or third night of the games at Wrigley. Or, if he had stuck to a "straight" imitation of Harry Carey. But, I thought what he did was lacking in class and respect for the occasion. I mean, for goodness sakes, people are visiting their parents and grandparents graves !!! As George says, opinions may vary. What once seemed hopeless, now seems possible. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Seems silly to be so heavily invested, but I'd *LOVE* to see the Cubs win (I've already told my wedding day story.)

what dd I miss? I watched every pitch on Sunday night and didn't hear or see him saying or doing anything at all, other than the incessant camera shots. Was it Saturday night? We were in the air on the way back home and missed the game. Regarding the announcers...they are such front runners. Whichever team they perceive has the edge gets undue accolades. it's goofy. Other than Harold Reynolds...the man knows his stuff and seems to be very impartial. I wish we'd get more of him and less of Rose. Different networks, though, I think, so that won't happen. GO TRIBE! great series, great team, great story no matter who wins but I'm all-in for the Tribe.

Friday night, Seventh Inning Stretch, he sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (supposedly) ala Donald Duck. He sounded like a combination of Harry Carey (at his most phlegmy) and Sylvester the cat. At least, he hit the first note right. :-) Go Cubs!

Congratulations on shaking the curse: 108 years was way too long for the Cubs faithful fans to wait. As a Cleveland native (I moved away in 1975) the goat is now counting 68 years. 2 years ago, in 2014, the Royals lost the Series at home, unable to get to Mad Bum; however, KC took it all in 2015. Maybe next year for the Tribe!!

I'm not fat, I'm fluffy! :-) But really. That was some seriously good baseball. It was a difference of only one more hit, right? A hit from Martinez, and the story has a completely different ending. All is well in the Cubs universe when Kris Bryant is smiling. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/794048351029329920

great series. cubs deserved it but tribe was tough..hung in there with their probably best player (Bradley) out, and #2 and #3 starters hurt. No excuses thou'..cubs played well.not a native clevelander, but lived there 20+ years, and raised my kids there (now in Tx), so I have a very special place in my heart for Believeland. WFNY again. go browns

Had no vested interest in either team, however it was the best 7 game world series in a long, long time. Living in the Buff, the other mistake by the lake I really feel for Cleveland. Hell, my Bills broke me in 1994 after 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses. I have to say, since then I have become indifferent to sports in general. Attending FTW in the Windy City (with both of you) gave me a real appreciation for Chicago and all it has to offer including the people, they were amazing. The Cubs were the "better" team when it was all said and done, but the Tribe held their own, and have nothing to be ashamed of. Go Bills and Browns ;-)

They could not pull it off last night, but it was an amazing run. Fans gave the team an extended standing ovation after the game. One national sportswriter wrote he had never seen anything like that after a regular season loss. Neither had I. It will take a lot to beat the Tribe. Dominant starting pitching; amazing bullpen; power and clutch hitting throughout the lineup; well above-average defense; strong bench; great manager and fantastic team chemistry. Maybe we should declare them the champs now? :)

Maybe a corny reason to root for a team but am pulling for the Houston Astros's after the devastation there from hurricane Harry. Being a Red Sox I don't mind getting knocked out by them.

Any grateful golfers out there? What are your regular courses? Any bucket list adventures? I'm in West Michigan and love the golf around here! Arcadia Bluffs on Lake Michigan north of Manistee is an awesome experience!

Random fact: There was at one point three PGA golfers named Garcia, Weir and Hart on tour all at the same time! (Sergio, Mike and Dudley, respectively)

Nice to see the underdog pull it out. Happy for Cincy fans. Here's hoping for an entertaining Super Bowl. :-)
