and at least delayed Clevelands big party with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.Aroldis Chapman got the final eight outs in the longe Antworten

CHICAGO -- One way or another, there will be a championship celebration in Cleveland.Still to be determined? Whether the Indians or Cubs will be popping the champagne.The Cubs won a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and at least delayed Clevelands big party with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.Aroldis Chapman got the final eight outs in the longest appearance of his career, Jon Lester pitched six strong innings and Kris Bryant homered as Chicago cut the Indians lead to 3-2.So a World Series between the teams with baseballs longest title droughts goes back to Cleveland, with 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta set to start for the Cubs and Josh Tomlin going on short rest for the Indians in Game 6 on Tuesday night.Were writing our own history, Chicago shortstop Addison Russell said. Were making history. Why stop?His team rolled through the regular season with a major league-leading 103 wins, took out playoff-tested San Francisco in the NL Division Series and rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Cubs were so dominant at times they had their long-downtrodden fans believing that, after decades of supposed curses and sincere heartbreak, this just might be the year.It still could be -- but it would take an historic effort. Only five teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven World Series, most recently Kansas City in 1985.Standing in the Cubs way is a team and a city that knows a thing or two about title droughts.Cleveland endured a 52-year championship dry spell before LeBron James brought one home with the NBAs Cavaliers last spring. The Indians last won it all in 1948, which pales in comparison to a Cubs wait that dates to 1908.Were in good position, still, Cleveland slugger Mike Napoli said. Were up 3-2 going home. We did what we had to do here. We put ourselves in position to try and win it in a crazy atmosphere. Were happy with what we did here. Were going to get home and play in front of our fans.The Cubs are banking on another big effort from Arrieta and hoping for a better result against Tomlin.Arrieta took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and pitched the Cubs to a 5-1 victory in Game 2 at Progressive Field. Win on Tuesday and theyll send major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks to the mound in Game 7.Of course, the Indians are also feeling good about their chances.After all, Tomlin tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 3 before giving way to that nasty bullpen. And if it goes to Game 7, well, the Indians will have their ace in play, Corey Kluber.He -- like Tomlin -- would be pitching on short rest, unlike Arrieta and Hendricks. But when it comes to beating Kluber, the Cubs are 0 for 2 in this Series.Yeah, we get to go over there with two rested starting pitchers, Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. I like to believe were going to catch or gain some momentum from this game going back over there. But momentums always based on your starting pitcher, too. And again, with these guys you saw how good their bullpen was. Once again, its really important to grab that lead and hold onto it.There was plenty for Maddon to like about Game 5.The pitching performances by Chapman and Lester and the home run by Bryant topped the list. But how about Jason Heyward and his highlight-reel catch on Trevor Bauers foul fly down the right-field line in the third inning? Heyward planted his foot and grabbed the top of the wall, then reached back toward the field with his glove to snag the ball.Or what about Anthony Rizzo at first base?He had the crowd roaring in the second inning when he ran in and caught a foul pop by Carlos Santana that catcher David Ross deflected near the first base dugout.Rizzo also made a diving stop on Rajai Davis grounder down the line in the eighth. Chapman, however, said he fell toward third on his delivery and by the time he realized it was a fair ball, it was too late to cover first.Something else to consider:With the Series shifting back to Cleveland, the Cubs can use slugger Kyle Schwarber as their designated hitter again.Hes not permitted to play the field, but was cleared by doctors to hit. That was a neat October surprise for the Cubs after Schwarber missed almost the entire season because of a knee injury.Were always confident, Rizzo said. We get to see Tomlin now a second time on short rest. Im going to convince myself that ... hes not going to be as sharp. (Schwarber) is back and Im sure hes chomping at the bit. Lucas Torreira Jersey . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen Jersey . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. http://www.footballarsenalstore.com/Women-Mohamed-Elneny-Arsenal-Fc-Jersey/ . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. Nacho Monreal Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Shkodran Mustafi Arsenal Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, As a fellow ref, and one was always compared to you (because of my hair) I ask you this; prior to the recent change in what constitutes a hooking penalty where just touching a player in the midsection can result in a hooking call, my criteria in calling a hook was: Did it impede the players progress? Did it cause a change of possession? Did it cause an injury? Did it materially affect the game? If not, then I wouldnt call it. There may be an exception that doesnt one to mind, but essentially, thats what I chose to do. In the game last night leading up to the winning goal, Jaromir Jagr reached in and clearly hooked Evgeni Malkin (in my opinion), resulting in a change of possession. You could tell because as Malkin was pushing with his legs to take off with the puck and as Jagr reached in with his stick and pulled, Malkins body position went from leaning forward in a driving forward motion to being erect and his forward progress was obviously altered by that action. He lost the puck to Jagr as a result of that hook. Jagr was closer to his offensive zone. Because of that hook, when he snagged the puck, he was closer to the Penguin goal than Malkin was and it gave him an advantage which he used to start the play for the winning goal. So finally, my question...even in an OT playoff game, should a hook have been called? Bill Totten --- Kerry, Thank you for the insight you give us everyday and the thought process you give us of an NHL referee. Last night on the Boston Bruins overtime goal there was a clear hook on Evgeni Malkin by Jaromir Jagr. Jagrs stick was to the midsection of Malkin and there was also a tug which led to the Bruins coming back and getting the winner. All year long including the playoffs we have seen far less hooks be called for a penalty. Why was this not called? Shouldnt the same rules be applied regardless if its the first period or OT? By calling the game differently in OT then it would be in the first arent they ruining the integrity of the game? Thank you,Angelo Vamvakas Bill and Angelo: The is no way anyone can put a positive spin on the non-call (video link) in double overtime that turned the puck over and resulted in the game winning goal by Patrice Bergeron of Boston. As both of you alluded to, Jaromir Jagr clearly reached and hooked Evgeni Malkin through the hands and then up under the armpit. As Jagr pulled back with his stick, Malkins forward progress was stalled, stutter-stepped and his body twisted from the hook. Jagr then gained possession of the puck and reversed the flow on the attack to set up the game-winning goal. The expectation is (and should be) that obvious infractions will be called at any time of the game. There was give and take in this hard fought game and both sides gained some advantages from a generous standard of enforcement that was extended to them.dddddddddddd. Once players enter a relative comfort zone that the Refs are allowing them to play and anything short of a scoring opportunity or a puck shot over the glass will be called they often take advantage of everything they can. This turnover of the puck was at the red line; just short of 100 feet from either goal. Jagr gambled that he could get away with the hook in double overtime. His leap of faith paid off for him and the Boston Bruins as they took a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Since the play took place at the red line and on a puck carrier (which is a visual transition zone for the Refs) it would be next to impossible if at least one Referee was not focused directly on the action. Its even highly probable that four eyes would have had a look at the play from different vantage points. The Referee on the same side of the ice in the Penguins zone (trailing Malkin) might have had an obstructed view looking through Jagrs back as the hook was administered. Theoretically, the best view would be drawn with an angle on the play by the lead Ref on the opposite side of the ice. Perhaps neither Ref had a clear sightline on the play. If that was the case, one or both of them should have! I can appreciate the pressure the Officials feel as the game extends into double OT. Every decision they make is crucial and magnified at this point of the game. No Ref wants to be accused of making a weak call that decides the game. Also keep in mind, penalties were being called in both overtime periods. In the first extra period, coincidental minor penalties were called on Milan Lucic and Matt Cooke followed by power play opportunities when Chris Kelly was whistled for tripping and Brooks Orpik for high-sticking before Evgeni Malkin got the automatic delay of game for shooting the puck over the glass. Boston was assessed a too many men on the ice near the start of the second overtime period. Most likely no one remembers these calls or that the Referees were performing their duties as expected. What will be remembered, at least by the Penguins and their fans, is the old school attitude of letting the players decide the outcome of the game that crept back last night; if only for just one non-call. Following the 2004-05 lockout, the expectation was for a more consistent standard to be implemented; especially on restraining fouls. The new way dictated that a Referee would get in less trouble for what he called as opposed to what he didnt. This held true last night in Boston. Bill and Angelo, the Referees have to make a call such as this at anytime throughout the game. When they do, they need to be supported by the entire hockey community. Lets not ever hear again the old adage to, "let the players decide the outcome of the game." ' ' '
