So Tomlin pitches the game of his life on Friday. Sold his soul to twirl a gem.

Last time Tomlin pitched over 150 innings in a season? 2011. He's now up to 174 and Tuesday on short rest? Yea, buddy.

Bryant, Rizzo and Schwarber in mid-70 weather? I'm In!!!!!

Tomlin is a bum, he's overdue to give up a couple homers.

All signs pointing to Russell as the hero in game 6. Kid is a snake in the grass. Just waiting in the weeds to pounce and sink his fangs into the Indians jugular.

Cubs getting to bat first is so key. Huge opportunity to quiet a stadium of bandwagoners. Make them watch the Cavs game on their phone.

Francona is going to throw the kitchen sink. Make him panic and send in Miller early. Burn out his arm. Them Wednesday it's Dagger Day.

World Series: How ‘Rocky’ films inspired Cubs to victory in Game 5

CHICAGO — They do not play in Philadelphia and they do not profile as scrappy underdogs. So on Sunday night, just before the Cubs took the field to save their season, it all seemed forced when the ballpark’s loudspeakers blasted “Going the Distance” from “Rocky.”

But deep in the guts of Wrigley Field, out of sight from the 41,711 nervous wrecks who had settled in and braced for the worst, first baseman Anthony Rizzo demanded that every television in the Cubs’ clubhouse showed Rocky I, Rocky II, Rocky III and Rocky IV, all at the same time. And when this wasn’t enough to ease the tension before facing elimination, veteran catcher David Ross said Rizzo was spotted “running around, jumping around, half naked, doing boxing moves.”

“I wanted to let everyone know that we’re planning to go the distance,” Rizzo said, quoting one of the film’s iconic lines, shortly after the Cubs forced a sixth game in this World Series. “Obviously, there’s a lot more that goes into that. But we’ve bought in. And we believe in it.”

You can feel Cleveland is playing for Game 7. They blew their chance to close out in Game 5 and it's affecting them.

The weight of the close out is crushing their enthusiasm. You saw in their faces they're dispirited by the specter of Arrieta taking the hill tomorrow.

Theo: [Bryant keeps getting struck out by Miller] He's getting killed out there!

Joe: Oh, no, no. He's not getting killed, he's getting MAD!

Today will be Arrieta vs. Indians bullpen. Francona know that buster Tomlin has been pitching with a horseshoe up his ass. He's going to get pulled once he get's to his first 3-0 count.

Cubs will need to remind him he's a Triple A pitcher before he gets pulled.

Pressure's on Cleveland to close out tonight. They all know that Game 7 the Cubs will light up Kluber after seeing him a 3rd time. Kluber is worn down and his arm hanging by a thread.

You'll see a lot of chasing at the plate and sloppy play in the field tonight from the Tribe. Cubs will need to capitalize.

We're already seeing a lot of chasing in this thread and this section in general. Cubs fans are not doubt feeling the heat as the temperature nears the boiling point!
