WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[Fred in Lynn]

Vince Coleman, tarp supervisor.

 

[strek1]

VERY heavy rain to the West of Cleveland but I'm guessing it's an hour or two away.

I don't get this stoppage - the heavy rain looks pretty far away.

 

[santadevil]

Bah...this is crazy
Weather delay

 

[Beomoose]

How great must every other pitcher in that bullpen feel when Joe's like "nah, I'll take so dead he's starting to smell Chapman over you"

 

[riboflav]

You're shitting me! Who does this favor tomorrow? Cubs, right?

 

[speedracer]

Sucks for Cleveland, Shaw's gotta be done now

 

[ricopetro6]

worst home plate umpiring I've seen

 

[moondog80]

Most anti climatic delay ever. Good night all.

 

[snowmanny]

If Bud Selig was in charge he'd invent a tiebreaker on the spot.

 

[tim mccarver]

Well at least Chapman can get some rest.

 

[InstaFace]

 

[Ed Hillel]

See you @ 3 AM

 

[garlan5]

Yeah, I thought it was clear as soon as he fouled it. That wasn't the gesture of a player mad at himself.

Def mad at the call

 

[rembrat]

THAT BLOB IS SO FAR AWAY ITS IN CHICAGO FOR CHRISSAKES

 

[PseuFighter]

wait chapman is still in the game if they suspend and come back tomorrow. how gauche.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Umm, is this game getting finished tonight?

 

[shawnrbu]

There's the radar someone in the game thread posted 2 hours ago.

 

[HurstSoGood]

Y'all can decide for yourself who is who here. Cubsra Kai? Cleveland-san?
So who is about to get crane-kicked?

Although, the weather is looking a lot like the Okinawa storm scene from KK2.

 

[DJnVa]

I know it's extras and I know it's raining, but lots of fans aren't gonna see the end of this and that sucks...

 

[DanoooME]

Fox needs better ratings for Thursday night.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Gotta be shitting me.

 

[ngruz25]

But... I have work tomorrow.

 

[Bozo Texino]

Cubs have to score here if they're gonna win.

I originally read this in McCarver's voice.

Then I saw the word "here."

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Nucking Futs

 

[Moviegoer]

Just in time for the South Park repeat at least.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Fox, please let me know if Lebron is still there, need to know if he'll be sleepwalking through tomorrow night's game vs. the C's.

 

[McBride11]

I mean if they are waiting til the stuff on the western part of the state to pass this game will be going to the early morning

 

[rembrat]

Anyone want to hop on for some BF1?

 

[staz]

The big blob of heavy stuff is still way off... I don't get this.

 

[Couperin47]

Maddon will be saved from himself by the delay, he'll have to use someone other than Chapman

 

[rajendra82]

Who will this help more? Chapman was clearly done. Is Shaw going to be Hurst by so many Orsillos?

 

[SumnerH]

Jesus this game had everything, good and bad.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Tell me they didn't pull the tarp out for that tiny anomaly when that enormous anomaly is about an hour away.

 

[cromulence]

Oof.

That's what he said.

Ughhhhh I'm sorry.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Co-champions!

No champion this year.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

How about a rain delay?

Well he will still bring Chapman back

 

[riboflav]

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.

 

[shawnrbu]

Do they reopen the beer tubs at The Jake?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

God decided to make sure Chapman doesn't pitch the 10th.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Rain Helps injuns, right? It should finally take out Chapman.

 

[canderson]

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

If it goes to tomorrow, Cubs get Arrieta back.

 

[Harry Hooper]

They're putting Chapman in the hyperbaric chamber right now.

 

[DJnVa]

Someone there has to have an estimate.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

All-Star game next year decides the winner.

 

[Beomoose]

I know it's extras and I know it's raining, but lots of fans aren't gonna see the end of this and that sucks...

Blame Joe Maddon

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is a first.

 

[glasspusher]

So disappointed it isn't snowing.

 

[GregHarris]

In three minutes, it's a new day. Perfect opportunity Maddon to pitch him on consecutive days again.

 

[Average Reds]

You guys realize that because of that 9th, Chapman will be back out for the 10th.

Not now.
