The Cleveland Indians are one win away from winning the World Series and have two home games to seal the deal. So, what is there to worry about?
Their opponent managed to give them a reason.
The Chicago Cubs staved off elimination Sunday night with a Game 5 win, forcing the series back to Progressive Field for Game 6 on Tuesday. That means one final road trip for the Cubbies, and a chance for manager Joe Maddon’s club to display a little Halloween spirit.
Turns out that was a good move by Maddon, because he also set his own team up for a great tweet.
It was Cleveland’s very own Cavaliers, of course, who came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA finals — something the city has had no problem gloating about over the past few months.
Does this mean karma will come back around for Cleveland after the Tribe built up a 3-1 World Series lead over Chicago? Not necessarily, especially since the Cavs had the benefit of playing Game 6 at home, and winning back-to-back games on the road is a tall task for any team.
This series isn’t over yet, though, and the Cubs’ latest reminder has to make Indians fans feel anything but comfortable.
