You should probably just stick to the Bears forum.

Probably the best Game 7 in the WS ever, but I don't know about best series. The first 4 games were fairly boring and filled with a ton of missed opportunities by both teams.

Um, record profits would be Cubs and Yankees. Next best would be Cubs/Red Sox. Why would they want a non top 10 market team like Cleveland if they wanted record profits? Your post is Special person on so many levels.

Oh come on, it's the 1925 Pirates vs Senators. Best WS ever. It will take a while before anything lives up to that hype.

You're right. No one would've watched a Cubs/Yankees Game 7 with the Cubs trying to break a 108 year old drought.

Yes. That is clearly what I am suggesting...

What you are suggesting is clearly moronic. If the fix was in for profit, every other AL team in the playoffs would've been a better draw than the Indians.

Cubs-Yankees or Cubs-Red Sox would have broken the world.

Lines go the way of the money. Based on the way money comes in, Vegas sets the line, so that there is equal bets both ways.

Um, the Indians would certainly draw better since they were in the playoffs. Not to mention that an all Chicago World Series probably wouldn't be much of a national draw.

I've seen my team win the world series 3 times, come back from 0-3 in the ALCS, and this still might be the best game I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

This guys logic is ridiculous. If the fix was in, it'd clearly be Yankees/Cubs or Red Sox/Cubs from the beginning of the season. But even after the playoffs began, every team left in the AL has a bigger market than Cleveland, so baseball picked literally the smallest remaining market to maximize profits.

Lol @ a fix. Red Sox had probably the best offense this year. That won't get you far in the playoffs when your pitchers are mostly ass. David Price is a playoff choker. I just hope they get some better pitchers because Boston's young offense is really fun to watch.

Humm... How has Cleveland's WS appearance TV ratings compared to others? Look here.
As a baseball fan and "team" fan, yes NY and BOS make sense. But a World Series of two teams that haven't won over 170years combined is a MUCH better story. Yes, Cubs/Yankees is exciting outside of the baseball populous because the Cubs COULD win the World Series... Or, it could just be the Yankees... Again. A Cubs/Indians World Series means that a historic win IS going to happen. If you don't think millions were drawn in by the Loser-Loser storyline you are ignoring the obvious.
Do you think MLB is not a business? Their goal is to MAXIMIZE PROFITS, is it not? Their goal is not "integrity", why would it be -- they are an ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS not a CHURCH.
But again, my point was not "the fix is in". My point is the entire postseason was boring and without drama because this seemed like the only possible conclusion. I am not say it was the only possible conclusion, I am just saying me -- as a non-baseball fan -- was bored and unimpressed because this (like a superhero film) played out exactly as one would predict.
