Well, I think people are using both measures. I don't think anyone said "this was the most cleanly played game of all-time." When they say "greatest", they're including off-the-field stuff. Which goes back to my point that bagels also stated and tried to take credit for - it's a subjective term with no parameters. I do, however, think your Cub hatred is skewing your view.

So as far as the DVD, do you get the set with complete games or just the highlights version?

I'm buying everything.

I'm getting one of those beer helmets with the Cubs World Series logo.

Its sort of sad, I always said the only time I'll get a subscription to SI is after the Cubs or Bears win the title and they do that commercial where they offer you the 12 months plus a free coaster and the commemorative DVD. Did they stop doing that?? I never saw it.

While watching the 10th inning again today something struck me as odd.

Zobrist up with Almora on 2nd and Rizzo on 1st. They attacked Zobrist outside the entire at bat and the hit he got was on an outside pitch that he took down the 3rd base line.

Why in the world was Ramirez playing so far off the line in that situation? Don't you guard the lines late in the game, but especially if you are going to pound a guy on the outside corner?

Another reason it wasn't great!

I noticed that too. They threw inside the pitch before and it screamed that they were going to go back outside for the next pitch. Zobrist knew it was coming too...

- They're replaying all the postseason victories (shortened to 2 hours per game) on MLB network today

- Here's the cover the New York Times was going to run had the Cubs lost ... which, if you think about it, is pretty dark insofar as should the Indians have won they still wouldn't have been front page news:

BREAKING NEWS: Chicago Cubs are being forced to give up their World Series title.

Cleveland Indians fans have rioted across the country in protest of the 2016 World Series. Despite knowing the rules of the game prior to playing, they were unhappy they lost and demanded the outcome to be changed.

They could be heard chanting #NotOurWorldSeriesChampion all across America. Even though the Cubs won 4 games and the Indians only won 3, since both teams scored 27 total runs throughout all 7 games, they are being declared co-world champions.

When questioned, Commissioner Manfred stated, "We felt as though it was the right thing to do for the nation. What kind of example would Major League Baseball be setting if we expected the adults who play this game, and their fans, to gracefully accept defeat? Instead of creating a bigger divide between the Cubs and Indians, MLB is confident that the Cubs will gladly share their victory with the Indians

There's a whole lot of people who would pass that around as serious news.

First World Series Championship in ones lifetime is always the best. Kids are a pain in the ass and cost thousands of dollars apiece for life.

Habitual. Just cannot help himself.

How do you even remember the first? You have like 15 kids...you're the Steve Garvey of the CSFMB.

I hate Steve Garvey.
