Remember, there is a ritual in place, connecting to 'Florida'. The Cubs have history with a ball club from that state, so do the Indians.
The Cubs number this season from documentation is '94'. How about 4 runs in the 9th?
31 at bats to win the Series 3-1.
I love that the Giants had a 144 total pitches.
Based on who the Cubs were starting today, and their trajectory for the World Series, I was pretty sure they would be advancing in this game. Today is October 11, 2016, and Lackey was the starter for the Cubs.
10/11/2016 = 10+11+20+16 = 57

Today's date came 191-days from the start of the MLB season.
NLDS = 13
ReplyDeleteGiants 10 straight wins in elimination games
ten = 39
I only caught that stat earlier today while checking out in line at the store. I was thinking NY Giants connections when I saw it. 10, 13, 39
Cubs catcher became oldest player to hit HR in playoffs, at age 39. Cubs were 3-9 in elimination games before today.
DeleteHey Zach If cle wins it will be because of co co crisp being traded there while Oakland was 57-75 on 8/31/16 55 75 21 (133) his initials 333 the start of World Series to that date is 55 days on 10/25/16 on a 51 71 17 day (688) born 11/1/79 crisp is 36 in his 13th year I believe hit 13hr and had a ba .231 with 55 rbi fifty five 108 check him out check this article out http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/08/30/as-trade-outfielder-coco-crisp-to-cleveland/
ReplyDeleteIt would just seem too coincidental for two Cleveland teams to possibly win a championship in the same year. And you kind of have to look at star power, I know the Blue Jays are a Canadian team, but you have to look at who has the most star power, or at least guys that will entertain you with how they play. The Blue Jays have pitching and guys who hit a lot of homeruns. The Indians have half their pitchers injured, and they play small ball. I know it's about numbers, but you have to think about what would draw money. I also know Cleveland swept Boston, but with how the Indians look with their injuries if they were to beat Toronto the elite might as well tell you before the series starts that this is rigged, and you are basically giving the Cubs the world series title with how injured the Indians are right now. Both Toronto and Cleveland are on a roll, but it would just be so American to take out the Canadian team because they are not American. And even if these athletes are actors the Blue Jays just look like the better team. It was also like this in the NBA but the cavs had the star power and talent to win the series.
ReplyDeleteI like Toronto they won in 92 you kno the whole joe carter thing there in it as expected I'm just going off what there giving
Deletelike Crosby doing his thing? his first Stanley Cup was followed by the Olympic gold, at USA's expense (Miller time anyone???)
Deleterecall the Carolina connections in all major sports championships in the last cycle of big games - Panthers, UNC, Coastal Carolina, Clemson, Curry. also, every single pro sports championship in 2016 has concluded in Cali - NHL, NBA, NFL - this is one reason I'm looking at LA to rep the NL this year but remember, this gang likes to have the 'one off' mentality. think of the broken penatagram in DC's layout amongst other examples.
Draw money? What better way to get a chance to see Two Cleveland teams win a championship in the same year? That's my thought.
DeleteFlorida won NCAA football and basketball in 2006.
DeleteKU won NCAA title and Orange Bowl in 2008
Kentucky, Louisville back to back 2012/2013
Alabama Auburn won it from 2009-2012
SEC went '06-'12 football champs
still think one year, two teams from the same city is far fetched? 2004 Patriots and Red Sox???
I'm wondering if we're gonna see a 1906 parallel where the Cubs set the wins record but got beat the White Sox known as the "hitless wonders" after a team batting average of .230 - worst in the AL.
Deleteof course the Chubs went to win the next two en route to their drought. 110 years later, we shall see.

DeleteDonaldson, Bautista and Pillar of the Blue Jays all flash the 666 hand sign.
DeleteI'm thinking Cleveland might be too obvious, plus they have injuries that will probably give them trouble in a seven game series rather than a five. Plus there is the duality thing to make it come full circle by having Toronto win. And I'm not too sure about Cleveland drawing money because their own fans barely had shown up to games this season like in Baltimore, a team that Toronto beat to get to this point. I'm not really sure which way this will go because the numbers can be all over the place making it possible for anything to happen.
DeleteZack I know you are picking the cubs, but I want to hit you with this. I went to sleep but called a 6-5 win for cubs before hand. remember this was the same score in the dodgers game, the dodgers won the 1965 world series beating the Minnesota twins. I still feel that the dodgers are going to win this thing.
ReplyDelete191 (43rd prime) 43 - Champion.
ReplyDeleteObviously this doesn't mean they will win the whole thing but it often connects to the team being in the championship match at least.
Think its clear the cubs will be at the world series this year.

ReplyDeleteHey Zach this week NFL 10/16/16=42... IS IT POSSIBLE THE NUMBERS ON GAMES ARE 24 REFLECTION OF 42.. I NOTICED SOME TEAMS CAN GO 2-4 OR 3-3
ReplyDeleteCan the date numerology be done like this 10+16+1+6?
DeleteThat is a great observation and I think the '42' will show strong.
DeleteThe Chargers coach is looking for his 24th win. His win percentage is .442, Chargers record will be 2-4 after a win. Denver record will be 4-2 with a loss from the Chargers.
DeleteThat's quite the line up.
DeleteIf the Colts win this Sunday to become 3-3, that will be 3 consecutive prime time games where the underdog wins money line.
Great observation.
DeleteTonight is the start of the hockey regular season I wonder what they have in store for us tonight
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna be cubs vs indians two teams who have long ws droughts
ReplyDeleteAnother narrative for cubs versus Indians is two former Red Sox employees terry Francona versus the golden chosen one Theo "55 million" Epstein.
ReplyDeleteBaseball used to go with the slogan "You Can't Script October".
DeleteYou Can't Script October = 2206 (226), 91
Gotta love how they mock. All of October is scripted in the MLB lol.
Just like David Blaine and the NBA's magnet advertising campaign for a whole season.
DeleteSt. Louis Blues going for win # 113 against Chicago win # 141 all time
