2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWatching Game 7 here in Florida.
I've got no major rooting interest, mildly rooting for Cleveland but really just want a good game.
But most importantly, Hillary ads are running almost every inning break. And live sports is the one area where you can't ignore the commercials.
I'm liking the exposure here.

(415 posts)Three Hillary commercials, all different since I turned it on. All negative, showing Trump as the monster he is.

(14,565 posts)I haven't watched a single at bat of a baseball game in at least 4 or 5 years. Once I moved away from Las Vegas the sport doesn't exist to me. I literally couldn't name a single current major league player.
But the Cubs potentially winning the World Series is worth a glance. That will be one of those, "Where were you?" moments.
When I worked as sportsbook supervisor in Las Vegas in the '80s and '90s we used to joke that we could list the Cubs at Even money in the future book every year and still draw tons of Cubs money. Nobody cared about the price. That's why it was annually the biggest ripoff in town. Tourists would flock to the betting window with a list in their hand: Uncle Melvin wants $20 on the Cubs to win the Series. Cousin Tom wants $10. And so forth. They didn't ask about the price and didn't care. It was more of a prideful rooting interest and chance to brag about something in case it actually happened.

(14,565 posts)I turned to the game literally as the pitch was in the air that turned into a double to cut the lead to 6-4.
Then the next guy ties the game with a line drive homer to left.
Now a single.
