    1997 was the last time Cleveland was in the WS. They lost to the Marlins. The last time they won a WS was 1948.

    But of course for the Cubs, its been even longer. Last time in WS was 1945. Last time they won the WS was 1908.

    It's a tough call for me. Chicago has a longer dry spell and is a great town but they never learned to burn a river like Cleveland, nor have crazy Padres fans like my gas station dude or (to my knowledge) have had a band quite as wonderfully weird as Pere Ubu. So its a close call for me.

    Crazy to me that no one seems to be giving Cleveland a chance. Home field advantage and a lights out bullpen are huge advantages for the Tribe. Should be a really good series.

    agreed. Though the stars really seem to be aligning for the Cubs, the Indians could certainly win this series. This of course would bring a whole new level of angst to Cubs fans everywhere.

    That's what I thought. That was a really weird series. Snowing in Cleveland, 2 nights later playing in Florida in short sleeves. Orel Hershiser's pitching used to piss me off.

    yeah, but position by position I'm not sure where the Indians have an advantage....RF, yes, and maybe SS and catcher.

    Indians NEED to take game 1. I could see the cubs coming back from a game 1 defeat but not the Tribe.

    TRIBE!!!!!!!

    And they completely dominated two really good teams.
