Recap
Big CatThe Cubs celebration for winning the NL pennant was maybe a little too much
I actually do think that the celebration was maybe a little too much, to be honest. I feel like, I mean, it was an unbelievable night, a night I'll never forget, but there definitely was a feeling like this is the greatest moment when still got the World Series to win.
PFT CommenterThe Cleveland Indians will win the World Series and celebrate at Wrigley Field
Man, how heartbreaking would that be if the Indians won in Wrigley Field, huh? And you guys had to watch him celebrate there? God, I hope that doesn't happen. No Cubs, no.
Football Guy Of The Week
Big CatNFL coaches only work out to prevent stress-induced heart attacks, not to get in shape
A very football guy move, they're not working out to get in shape. They're just working out so they don't have a heart attack. It's purely to stop the heart attack. Get through the day. Yes. Stress heart attack. Everyone knows you cure a stress heart attack by going on the elliptical for 45 minutes.
Interview
Dan HarenThe Cubs will win the World Series in seven games
I'm going to say Cubs in seven. The Indians are tougher than you think, man. They're pretty good. The tough thing with the Indians is if they get a lead on you with Shaw and then obviously Miller can go two innings and Cody Allen. So basically if they get through five innings with a lead, you're in bad shape.
Dan HarenTrevor Bauer's teammates are likely talking behind his back about his drone injury
I think they're more mad than they would lead on. Like they would probably say, Hey man, nothing, no big deal, but then you get the guys behind closed doors that are probably talking a lot of shit about him.
Dan HarenKyle Schwarber can successfully return and hit home runs in the World Series after six months off
If anybody can do it, it would be [Schwarber] to step back, just to step up after a year off or not even a year, like six months off and be able to hit bombs. It would be him. He will not overthink it. That's impossible.
