CLEVELAND -- Most fans around the country can sit back and savor Game 7.Not so easy for anyone who has spent a lifetime rooting for the Cubs or Indians.All those years of hope and heartbreak collide Wednesday night when Chicago and Cleveland meet one last time to decide the World Series.With the Cubs seeking their first championship since 1908 and the Indians trying to stop a drought that dates to 1948, the stakes could hardly be higher.No one says Game 3 or 5. This is what you want, said shortstop Francisco Lindor, who leads the Indians with a .364 Series average.Cleveland ace Corey Kluber pitches against Kyle Hendricks, the major league ERA leader. Kluber has a chance to become the first pitcher to win three World Series starts since Detroits Mickey Lolich in 1968.Throwback stuff.The game has changed, the 76-year-old Lolich said Tuesday. Its a totally different game than what we played back in our days. It just doesnt happen.Addison Russell hit a grand slam and tied a Series record with six RBI in Chicagos 9-3 win Tuesday night that forced this captivating matchup to the limit.Chicago is trying to become the first club to overcome a 3-1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals and the first to do it by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.Now its one night, winner take all.Its a kids dream, Russell said.Even after losing two straight, the Indians remain confident.Kluber is 4-1 with a 0.89 ERA in four postseason starts, starting with 16 consecutive scoreless innings against Boston in the Division Series and Toronto in the AL Championship Series.Thats our guy. Thats our stud, Cleveland second baseman Jason Kipnis said.A 30-year-old right-hander, Kluber started on three days rest for the first time in his big league career in Game 4 against the Blue Jays. He left after five innings with the Indians trailing 2-1 in a 5-1 defeat, then threw 88 pitches over six innings as Clevleand beat the Cubs 6-0 last Tuesday in the Series opener.He came back on three days rest in Game 4, needing 81 pitches for six innings of one-run, five-hit ball in a 7-2 win that gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead.Obviously, hes a special guy, Hendricks said. You can just see it, the way he takes to the mound. Hes always locked in.Nine pitchers have won three starts in a single Series, none since Lolich went 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA and 21 strikeouts while tossing three complete games against the St. Louis Cardinals.Good players, good pitchers, can do special things. Hes in that category, Indians manager Terry Francona said. It was kind of an easy decision after talking to him.The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner, Kluber was 18-9 with a 3.14 ERA this season as Cleveland won the AL Central for the first time since 2007. His win in the All-Star Game at San Diego in July gave the American League home-field advantage in the Series.I never connected those dots at that point in time, he said.Already, he is the first pitcher to win Games 1 and 4 in the Series since Cincinnatis Jose Rijo in 1990. In addition to Lolich, the only others to win three Series starts were Charles Deacon Phillippe of Pittsburgh and Bill Dinneen of the Boston Americans (1903), the New York Giants Christy Mathewson (1905), the Philadelphia Athletics Jack Coombs (1910), Pittsburghs Babe Adams (1909), Clevelands Stan Coveleski (1920), Milwaukees Lew Burdette (1957) and Bob Gibson (1967).Hendricks, a 28-year-old right-hander, went 16-8 and didnt get a decision in his Game 3 Series start, when he allowed six hits in 4 1/3 scoreless innings of a 1-0 loss.This is the ultimate dream, he said. When youre out in your backyard as a kid, playing Little League at the field with your friends, this is the moment you dream about: Game 7, 3-2, two outs, something like that, bottom of the ninth. But its always Game 7 of the World Series.Behind the starters, Chicago closer Aroldis Chapman has thrown 62 pitches in the last three days. Clevelands Andrew Miller hasnt pitched since Saturday and closer Cody Allen has been rested since Sunday.Were all ready to go, Miller said. Hopefully were fresh.---AP investigative researcher Randy Herschaft contributed to this report. Kurt Warner Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team. Cooper Kupp Youth Jersey . Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. http://www.footballramsshop.us/authentic-taylor-rapp-rams-jersey/ .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Darrell Henderson Youth Jersey . After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. Darrell Henderson Womens Jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. RIO DE JANEIRO -- The 10m diving final left Tonia Couch feeling flat but the three-time OIympian is confident she still has a future in the synchronized format.Couch, 27, finished 12th in the womens 10m platform final and found the solitary nature of the experience tough. So much of her preparation centred on the synchronized 10m class with her partner 16-year-old Lois Toulson, but as she stood on her own, planning out her five dives -- something she has done countless times -- it felt unfamiliar.I was a little bit flat -- I focused so much on synchro with Lois and without her up there, I was on my own, Couch said. Before the Olympics she was down at my house for the week, then I was up with her for a week and then she was down again and we focused so much on synchro. I gave everything I could in the synchro and didnt leave enough for my own. Im a little bit gutted.Couch will now return to her Plymouth home and is looking forward to spending time with her boyfriend, family and dog Nanook. She will take her fifth-placce finish in the synchronized class as a personal highlight, and that class is where she is likely to focus heading forward.ddddddddddddHopefully I can stay on a couple of years for synchro, if Lois still wants me, Couch said. I havent thought about it yet. I dont think thats the end of me just yet.Having been in diving for 15 years she knows how to navigate the highs and lows of the sport. She will look back on a year where she won 10m platform silver in the European Aquatics Championship as a highlight but will take the time to take stock before refocusing on building her partnership with Toulson.I am going to do something different -- spinning classes, dancing classes and my friends have a wedding coming up and Im going to try and get them into shape and keep myself in shape, Couch said. Im always used to weights and conditioning but Im going to do something else for a couple of months. ' ' '
