The World Series is Here

Baseball is at its most exciting time of the year, October. October baseball is where the best of the best face each other. The playoffs are almost over with though, except for one final series, the World Series. As an avid baseball fan, I watch the world series every year but this year my favorite team is playing in it. The Cubs and the Indians square off in this year's series and it has been a long time since either team has won. The Cubs have the longest drought in the Major Leagues, since 1908. The Indians haven't one since 1948. I am so excited to watch the game on Tuesday night and through out the rest of the week.

The Cubs are the best team in the Major League, hands down. They are dangerous in their lineup the entire way through and have some of the best starting pitching the league has seen in a while. Under manager Joe Maddon, they have progressed into a great team. Rookie Kyle Schwarber can make a possible appearance in the series as well after suffering what was thought to be a season-ending injury earlier this year. With his power as a hitter added to the already dangerous lineup, the Cubs are not to be taken lightly.

The Indians are really struggling to get over the injuries that have faced them this year. With starting pitchers Carlos Carrasco out for the year and Danny Salazar struggling to return in time from a forearm injury, it has been tough since the playoffs have started to get good innings out of the starters. Luckily, the Indians have had huge contributions from their bullpen and rookie Ryan Merritt, who threw 4.1 innings in game 5. The Cubs may be the best team in the league, but the Indians are the hottest. It will be interesting to see how the series plays out. On the final note, Roll Tribe.
