Were going to take you up until the fox pregame show of this matchup between the indians and cubs join us is indians president chris antonetti, last manager t take the tbe series, mike hargrove. A lot has changed since 97 the feeling here is electric, this is nuclear you can forget about that old, as the cavaliers did away with that. T today the expect the indians to win the world series. At that hot what they did to we do not have any doubt that they would get herewe. Budding off, john telich joins us. Is and so crazy here with coverage of unexpectedly chicag cubs, to walk over the indians, is what they expect. The end ends, worked the game, putting down the timing because its been five days since they have seen some live pitching. Aside from practice, but now theyre getting ready for the game of their lives, Terry Francona managed to world serie champions and he knows the way the team has performed , it excels when something goes wron everybody says it. Every time something happens, and it has , someone says how are we going to fix it . And i have enjoyed that atmosphere and it is just growing since ive been here. E. I think that chris and his guys are unbelievable to work for goods they bring out i thin everybody. When he runs the can, you just feel selfassured, you feel good because the pushes the right buttons. The guys respect him and they play hard for him. I look for a great series. Hes got the players to believe that they can do this. And tito is the favorite uncle. He cannot wait to get in the celebration as they t clinch the nlds prokofievs most do a interview with commissioner and they had to get him out of the locker room during the champag celebration. When this guy is c , a commanding presence, makes all the right moves. But he has done so far,he what he did with the bullpen to put in. Uys like coco crisp and lonn that it left against the lefty hitting the home runs, he made some great newsaiin. Took a look at the starting lineup, he is going with a switch going to lead off with rajai davis. He can steal bases and their pitcher, does not hold runners, there is Brandon Guyer against the lefty. Lonnie chisenhall and then corey kluber pitching. Looking at the clubs wine app. Kyle schwarber just got activated, and picture is jon lester for the cubs tonight,t, baseball is not over, one thing we can say goodbye to hisis baseball lette. There is a chill in the air.

For those expectant rollover thinking will be surprised it brings back some memories, the good ones far outweigh these that were not good. I seen lots of good friends. He was known as the unit rai delay, he would get in the box andl what else would you have to do . It help me to concentrate i got everything ou of the way a to b that long to get the courage to get in the box. B without a doubt, the biggest lie in the history of cleveland sports.

It has been unbelievable to watch these indians overcome so Stefani Schaefer talk to the man who put the team together, is now Team President chris antonetti. What are you most proud of when you look at the team. That lots of things resonate you look at all the things that we have overcome to get to this point. Althe resiliency of to bu the coaches and the players throughout the season has been remar broadly, just the Organization Success every person who has contribute to this year from the front office to the sales, and ticketing staff , and all those on the basal side the scouts th trainers, coaches and to see a that hard work over many years to pay off is fulfilling. O speaking of the ownership and andrew miller, that was an expensive deal it was both expensive in terms of the players that we gave up in prospects and the Financial Impact because he was making a considerable amount of money under contract for the next two yearsser but in the en, he was supportive and realized we had a chance to win and to compete for a postseason berth and ideally the world series an gave us the resources to do he has been the entire time as the owner and we have not had any better support. Attendance, was kind of tough this year to get them into the ballpark, now that they have come through with a playoff series what is your message to those fans who showed support it is fun to see the enthusiasm over the last two months we had and unbelievable environment and the fans are here and engaged it is in a competitive advantage during the postseason and look forward to that during the world series. Any other message to the cleveland fans tooth then host of the world series .
