The cubs and indians are getting ready at Progressive Field and the surrounding streets and neighborhood, they have been packed and when the whistle went off to open the gates, fans flocked through to catch a glimpse of the indians and cubs during batting practice. Good evening, jim donovan with you from the roof just over my shoulder, Progressive Field and what a night it is. The basketball side the story is a mouth full. The cavaliers in a matter of minutes will raise their championship banner from last year, celebrate being the nba champions and get their champion rings. We say hi to dave. Its an a 00 electric atmosphere. Tonight will be a celebration. Behind me they are guarding the rings. In moments the players and the front Office Members will get the rings, there will be a video presentation and before tippal 7 30 on the other side the banner will the rafters. The first championship for the cavaliers and this city is super pumped up. So are the cavs players, they have a bonus, the under taker is in the building. The under taker is there, can this city able all of this. Lets get back to the baseball historic when you take on a team and franchise, the chicago kicks, the end cubs, im sure butterflies. This is the biggest night to play in the world series. They are calmed by this. They hand the ball to a guy with ice water, their ace, thats what you do in game one, you give it to the best. They give it to corey i asked when you will know if he has the best stuff. When he has the fastball and 2seam, the back toward the the righthanded hitters, that big slider the breaking ball down and in to the lefthanders. He will be on. What have you seen in the postseason. 15 and a third score let to but the most balanced lineup. Jon lester, the indians will have trouble with him. The cutter in to righties. He can change speeds. He locates the fastball and changeup away. If hes on tonight and working quickly, he will be good. Francona will go longer with kluber than other guys. I think if he has the after six, thats the magic number. If he has a manageable pitch count they may let him go. But they may take him out. You made a lot of people feel better. He does set it up well. Joined by chris ty. I was around for the 95 world series, a tough loss. The 97 a strike away and a to make up does wonders. 1948, a magical year. Theres a lot of years in the either, the cubs with nino eight 1908. The banks of the charles river, a park where the indians played the world series, knickerson field. Its where the world series was held a piece of that field you see in black and white was shipped to cleveland. Look at this field of may that arrived. Inside it is dirt from knickerson field and it will be in the bob feller exhibit because bob feller was part of that 1948 game. You just got back from inside that field. You said the energy blows away. Its 100 times more than the nba footballs. We were courtside against the games against the warriors, this is amazing, because of the cubs and attraction of the cubs, its amazing, the world series has been i did lewded. Viewership and appeal. And the er gateway with the cavs. Its amazing. 1948, my dad was a telephone worker in boston and said im going to call in sick and go to a 1 game playoff at fenway park. Indians and red sox. The indians beat the red sox and won the world series. Now you know the rest of the imagine this. You have a choice. If you hit the daily double, and the daily double is you have tickets to the game tonight. But game one touch world series. What do you do. Andrew actually found a woman who was faced with that decision. This is a great problem to have. The way she solved it figuring out a on the clock. Ill get rid of the ugly bag. Michelle could barely concentrate on work. Shes been counting down the minutes. We know what its like for the city to be pulsing with that energy. She has the fortune of two tickets to the cavs homeowner series at 8 08. Some may want to make money online, she has no interest. Planning her wardrobe for the biggest night to deet and hashing out a strategy. Starting with the raising of the nba banner. We can be there in solidarity. Itsy to make the costume change, walk across the re that. Excitement would be an understatement. I love her energy, how she was able to get the tickets. Shes a season ticket holier for the cavs. She went online to get the tickets and was successful, thats how you do it. She will be at both tonight. Amazing night in downtown cleveland. When we come back rick will tell us how great Andrew Miller is coming out of the indians bullpen, and well go to nana 7 00. Look at the crowd waiting for the road show concert and Opening Night festivities outside the q. Look at downtown. Theres the plaza as downtown is packed. For the cavs and knicks and the cubs and the indians. Lets talk to rickmaning who knows rick manning who knows a lot about the teams. Back in february when he showed he think this team would go to the world series. Not really to be honest with you. I didnt think it even during the year. Its amazing how the team developed and progressed. They started out around. 0 5. 500, but they got better. They gelled. Thought they would hit buttoned up ended up second in the league in hitting. Great defense, not having michael brantly, losing a couple late. That they would get to this point is hard believe anyone would call Something Like that. It is a fun team to watch. Lets talk about the running game. Put that in you cant steal 1st base. You can get on first base. I think well have an opportunity to do it. He doesnt like to throw to 1st base. You can bunt on him. Maybe he will throw one away. I think runs will be at a premium. There wont be many scored. If you can put pressure on the defense, theyve done it all year. Has it when you see what. A great slider. If he has the breaking ball working hes lights out. The second half at this ballpark hes pitched beautifully. Its cool, well see if the baseball will be slick. They have ways. Theyll find a way to get a good slider going. When they got Andrew Miller, when that was announced, did you sa this. They had a chance, they needed that gap pitcher. The 7th inning was the big inning, it was shaw be allen, there were blown saves and they were getting tired. They had to face the tough guys every night. When you got miller, the best receiver in the game. Hes so adaptable, i knew they i never thought in the 5th and 6th inning. You cant use them all him all year like that. He has a slider like a frisbee. And thats why they have a chance. Turned it into a five or 6 inning game. Kansas city has done that and the indians doing it this year. Enjoy it. Were the underdogs again. Were going to we have them where we want them. Have fun, enjoy it. And they will fight to the last out. Got to tell you, its fun to be with rickmaning. A couple grizzly bear cubs will pick the world series winner. Its late october, World Series Game one and well have. The akron zoo grizzly cubs. Zoo keepers gave them two pumpkins and coated them in strawberry jam. Both cubs went for the indians she has been a diehard fan for years. I mean years and years. 104yearold nana is helping us. Giving us her take. Tonight is the night. Im very excited and i want a victory, please there you have it. Nana now we go back inside into the weather center, its a beautiful night. October25. This is not bad for game one. Not at all. Temperatures are chilly, we have dry weather, partly cloudy skies, as we look at the forecast, frost is likely farther south, along the lakeshore 40 degrees, cloudy low to mid40s inland. Weve had a brisk breeze, that will continue. To the northeast in advance of the next storm system. It looks complicated. All of the energy and the moisture will be focusing in one storm system that will come across the tri state reege be on, how the region, well see if we two. Well be off to a dry start tomorrow, this is noon, temperature in the 40s, clouds through the afternoon, were dry into the evening, the start of the game is looking dry, by the end of the game, depending on how long it takes well have rain chances. Were riding a fine line of when the rain will start. Im hoping for a dry game. 50degree first chance temperature. The rain will be coming down thursday. Temperature from the 50s back into the 40s. Upper 50s for friday and a flip in the forecast for the weekend. Partly cloudy and 70 saturday. Well have rain sunday but warm into next week. Thanks very much. From the roof of the museum from all of us. Two thumbs up for your scarf tonight. Whats all this about the cubs, maybe not in cleveland, but the rest of the world loves they are ready. They had 103 wins, they get into the playoffs, beat the giants, the dodgers and are in the world series. The kicks are loved in cubs are loved in chicago. We spoke with peggy as she talked about world series and cubs fever. This is surreal for us. If you told me the cubs and the indians would be in the world series, we would have thought it was major league part five. This is a team that was put mind. But not as quickly as they came together. The ups is crazy. This is a team that loves to celebrate every win. They dont care if they dont act like theyve never been here before. Is pressure off. 108 years . Theres a lot of pressure. Theres a lot of fans who are nervous because of the generations of fans who have not seen the cubs in the world series. The best part the team is young and dumb, they dont know about the pressure. We werent around one08 years ago, we werent around 145 years ago. They have the perfect manager. Hes like a mad professor. The pressure exceed the pleasure. That was the first tshirt he handed out. Hes perfect for the team. He lets them and themselves. Hes put them at ease and makes moves to bring out the best in them. Were looking forward to the series and seeing wrigley field. Were looking forward to not coming back to cleveland [ chuckle ] i dont know peggy, this will be a long will be coming back. The table is set. Game one of the world series about ready to go. Just a note passed to us. Very emotional ring ceremony in the q, lebron james brought to tears as he accepts his championship ring. What a night in cleveland. Entertainment tonight is next. Really . The fbi said there were 110 classified emails that were exchanged. Hillary lied. And another lie . I respect the second amendment. But behind closed doors, hillary told liberal elites. The Supreme Court is wrong on the second amendment. Hillary will lie about anything to get elected. The nra institute for legislative action new Brad Angelina divorce damage. Will they quit hollywood and is country . What we just learned. Then, a side of oprah youve never seen before. Right now. Think about it. A private crisis for the first time on camera. Then four secrets from james corren car pool karaoke with lady gaga. Something happened in that car pool thats never happened before. . . And a sneak peek on the set of the allfemale oceans movie.
