First World Series in city history on a Friday the day before Halloween... and that's it?
Least excited team and fanbase ever; don't ever tell me how bad small markets "want it" ever again.
Milwaukee is PACKED for the #WorldSeries parade!
From street level to high rises to KAYAKS on the river 😮

AROLDIS CHAPMAN JUST GOT EIGHT OUTS TO SAVE THE CUBS’ SEASON.
Chapman enters in the seventh and finishes the game as Chicago beats Cleveland 3-2 in Game 5.
Kris Bryant homers, and Jon Lester delivers six innings.
The World Series is heading back to Cleveland.
The Cubs are still alive.
