They have a veteran pitcher named Eddie Harris who seems to throw all kinds of junk at you and this hot young rookie pitcher named Vaughn who throws 100 miles an hour but with real consistency issues, at least in the beginning of the season.  Cerrano is their slugger and Willie Hayes is a speedster off the bases.  




I think its going to be a good Series.  Hopefully going 6-7 games with the Cubbies bringing home the hardware, but what I don't know about the Indians scares the living bejesus out of me. 

Both teams have good managers.....For hitting, Indians have Francisco Lindor, Mike Napoli, Jose Ramirez, Carlos Santana, Jason Kipnis and base stealer Rajai Davis.....Cubs have Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant.........both teams have great pitching. ....Indians have Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco , Danny Salazar, Dan Otero, and Cody Allen. ....Cubs have Jake Arrieta, John Lester, Kyle Hendricks, Jason Hammel,  John Lackey, Trevor Cahill, Travis Wood, Pedro Strop, Hector Rondon and Aroldis Chaoman. 

The Indians have more hitting, The Cubs have more pitching, but both teams had enough hitting, pitching and defense to get this far.  Both managers are very good.  Indians manager won in Boston and Cubs manager able to win with even Tampa. ....Should be a great series....A GREAT LAKES WORLD SERIES. ....May be the first one of those ever. ......Both teams have not won in a long time.
