CLEVELAND -- They will call it Game 7.We have seen Game 7s in a World Series before. But have we ever seen a Game 7 quite like this? Have we ever seen a championship game in any sport quite like this?Try to wrap your mind around what will be on the line Wednesday, when 174 combined seasons of broken hearts and shattered dreams will hang in the Ohio night. For the Cubs, that comes to 107 consecutive championship-free seasons. For the Indians, that comes to 67 in a row.And now here we are, a mere nine innings away. Nine innings from one drought ending and one continuing. Nine innings from setting one teams ghosts free, while the others will be back to haunt again.?Its storybook, Cubs catcher David Ross?said?after his teams 9-3 Game 6 win on Tuesday that forced this grand finale. Theyll make movies about this someday.Were not sure whos in charge of calling Kevin Costner and Francis Ford Coppola. But if theyre taking notes, here are some of the plotlines floating over this game:? Obviously, there has never been a World Series Game 7 involving two teams that hadnt won a championship in a combined 176 years. But whats amazing is, weve seen nothing even close. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the combined droughts of these two teams are nearly double the previous record for any Game 7 -- which is the 90 title-free seasons of the 1975 Red Sox and Reds, who also played a seven-game World Series for the history books.? For the Cubs, there is more than just the chance to stop answering questions about goats and 1908. They also are trying to become the fourth team ever to win a World Series in one of the most difficult ways possible -- by falling behind three games to one at home, and then having to win three in a row, including Games 6 and 7 on the road. Just the 1979 Pirates, 1968 Tigers and 1958 Yankees have ever pulled that off.? The Indians, on the other hand, are trying to avoid multiple places in history that no team ever wants to reach. If they win, they can wrap their arms around the Cavs and bill their town as the City of Winners. But if they lose, they would become the first team to blow a 3-1 lead under any format in more than three decades, since the 1985 Cardinals got Don Denkingered by Kansas City. And no team has lost Games 6 and 7 of a World Series at home since the 1979 Orioles. So a loss, under these circumstances, would be every bit as painful as 1997 or 1995 or 1954.? And then you have the two starting pitchers who will face each other in this game. Cleveland ace Corey Kluber will become the first man to start Games 1, 4 and 7 of a World Series since Curt Schilling did it for Arizona in 2001. But even more incredibly, he has a chance to become only the second pitcher in history to start and WIN Games 1, 4 and 7 of a best-of-seven World Series. The other? That would be the great Bob Gibson in 1967.? But Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks has a cool claim to fame too. He carries a 15-inning scoreless streak into this game. Only two starters in World Series history have ever taken a shutout streak that long into a Game 7. Those two are Gibson in 67 and Lew Burdette in 1957. For the record, both Gibson and Burdette won those games.? And finally, there is what this game represents for the sport of baseball. These arent just any two teams. And their stories arent just your ordinary stories. There has never been a team like the Cubs, that has inflicted its fans with more than a century of broken dreams. And there have been very few teams like the Indians, whose own drought would be the largest current title-less streak by any franchise in any sport that has spent the past 68 years in one city -- except for the slight catch that the team theyre playing has them beat by 40 years. So this is not just a game with appeal to Cubs fans and Indians fans, plus a bunch of old guys in the Midwest who just like to reminisce about the good old days. This has a chance to be the most watched baseball game in many, many years.So however this turns out, the storylines will be reverberating through the ages. But then, thats what a Game 7 is supposed to be. Just those two words -- Game 7 -- carry a certain magic.I remember [Madison] Bumgarner throwing all those innings [in 2014], Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo?said. And I remember 1997. I was even at one of those games in Miami. Its fun. Any Game 7 is special. I was at a Game 7 when the Blackhawks won. Its just Game 7, man. Its must-watch, not just if youre a fan of baseball but if youre a fan of sports.Across the room stood John Lackey. Hes the only member of the Cubs whose team has played in a World Series Game 7. That was back in 2002, in Anaheim. And Lackey started (and won) that game as a 24-year-old rookie. Its safe to say he remembers it well.Its Game 7 of the World Series, Lackey said, raising his voice to try to hammer home the drama of those words. So anyone who says its just another game is lying.All around him were teammates doing their best to spread that lie, saying they would try to treat it as just another game. But is it really? Cmon. How could it be?If you say that, it IS a lie, utility man Chris Coghlan?said. I think we say that as a way to try to normalize it for ourselves, so we dont get caught up in the same emotion that a fan does. But I think its a lie when you try to dumb it down and act like its really not that different. This is as much pressure as you can get. Its for the whole thing, with the whole season and 100 years all on the line. So you treat it as another game in how you prepare and how you think. But the reality is, its not just another game. This is history. And thats whats exciting, because I think this team has always stepped up when the biggest moment presents itself.Just 72 hours earlier, this was a team that appeared to be in serious trouble. But after a dramatic win Sunday in Game 5 and a 13-hit, nine-run offensive eruption Tuesday, the Cubs have turned this World Series upside-down -- with the thunder of Kris Bryant and Addison Russell, with the multi-inning dominance of Aroldis Chapman,?with the inspirational pregame Rocky Balboa act by Rizzo.But this is where our annoying fact-checkers step in to introduce a little perspective. First off, a note about Rocky. Yeah, he went the distance. But in the end, Apollo Creed was still the champion.And now the baseball perspective. We regret to report to the Cubs that three of the past five teams that won a Game 6 on the road then turned around and lost in Game 7. So theres that. And not even climbing back from a three-games-to-one hole to force a Game 7 guarantees a happy ending. Two teams before these Cubs -- the 1967 Red Sox and the 1972 edition of the Big Red Machine -- did exactly that, only to lose in Game 7. So it happens.?Theres also that little matter of trying to figure out a way to beat Kluber, a man with a ridiculous 0.89 postseason ERA who has allowed a total of one run against the Cubs in his first two starts. Kluber will be only the fourth pitcher in the past 15 years to start a World Series Game 7 on short rest, joining Schilling (2001), Lackey (2002) and Chris Carpenter (2011). Those other three all won their Game 7s. And isnt this where were supposed to mention that Kluber is having a more dominating postseason than any of them?I think the adjustments we made against him last game, hopefully theyll make a difference, Rizzo said. And hes on short rest. But with him, it doesnt really matter. Hes a monster.Its hard to argue that. But for a team thats out to slay 108 years worth of monsters, maybe this is the way its supposed to be. It would be wild enough to win a World Series after waiting around for more than a century. But to come from down 3-1, to win Games 6 and 7 in someone elses house, and beat a pitcher and an opponent with a chance to make history of their own . . . wow. Who writes those scripts?As a competitor, you dont want anything less, Coghlan said. You want it as tall as you can stack it. And then you bask in the glory if, God willing, you win it and you look back and realize all the adversity you faced. For now, you have to stay in the moment. But as a competitor, you dont want anything else. I mean, bring it all. You wouldnt want it any other way. And let the best team win.Its Game 7 of the World Series -- for only the sixth time since the Jack Morris Game in 1991. One team (the Indians) hasnt won a World Series in its hometown in 96 years. The other (guess who) hasnt won a World Series anywhere since Teddy Roosevelt was hanging out in the White House.But in 24 hours, somebodys century of pain and suffering will be gone.Regardless of what happens, said the Cubs Ben Zobrist, one team is going to be shattered, and the other will be flying high. So its special. Its an incredible moment for both teams, but also for fans. And not just fans in Cleveland and Chicago. This one is for everyone. Authentic Jerseys Cheap .

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. DURHAM, N.C. -- Wake Forest has scored a few touchdowns and earned a couple of Atlantic Coast Conference victories under coach Dave Clawson.They just never happened in the same game -- until now.Wake Forest upset Duke 24-14 on Saturday behind three touchdowns from freshman Cade Carney and a big game from hometown favorite Kendall Hinton.Carney rushed for 108 yards while becoming the programs first freshman with a three-TD game since Chris Barclay against Purdue in 2002. He scored on runs of 7, 1 and 55 yards -- the last of which broke a 14-all tie with about 4 minutes left in the third quarter.It added up to a big step forward for the Demon Deacons, even if Clawson wasnt ready yet to pronounce it so.Were 2-0, and now weve got to work hard. The reward for winning a game like this is, the next game becomes more important, Clawson said. Whether this is a turning point in our program, you cant say that now.Wake Forest entered with just seven wins under Clawson. Two of those came against FCS schools and three others were in less-than-inspiring fashion: A 6-3, double-overtime win against Virginia Tech in 2014, a 3-0 win at Boston College last year and last weeks 7-3 victory over Tulane.In this complete effort, the Demon Deacons erased one particularly pesky footnote: They had failed to score a touchdown in either of their prior ACC wins under Clawson.They can thank Carney and Hinton, who threw for 133 yards and rushed for 63 more. Mike Weaver made it a 10-point game by kicking a 34-yard field goal with 3:50 to play.The Demon Deacons (2-0, 1-0) entered just 4-20 in league games during the last three years. They outrushed Duke 239-37, and -- after managing just 175 total yards against Tulane -- more than doubled that in this one by rolling up 389 total yards.When a team invests as much as our guys have invested, theyre not going to fall apart after one drive or one game, Clawson said.Redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Jones had a pair of 1-yard scoring runs on zone-read keepers for the Blue Devils (1-1, 0-1), who were 6 1/2-point favorites. But he was intercepted by Brad Watson deep in Wake Forest territory with 1:54 left, and that all but sealed it.You never know what play in the game is going to make a huge difference, Duke cooach David Cutcliffe said.dddddddddddd This time, we werent consistent enough.THE TAKEAWAYWake Forest: The Demon Deacons not only earned their first win over Duke since 2011, they might have found their quarterback in Hinton -- though Clawson wasnt ready to anoint him as his starter.Hinton had split time with John Wolford since the start of last season and came off the bench in this one, but wound up taking every significant snap in the final 2 1/2 quarters and led all four scoring drives. Hinton was 6 of 11 passing and averaged 5.7 yards on his 11 carries.For me to get up here after a game and make a pronouncement isnt fair to any parties involved, Clawson said.Duke: An offense that was so efficient in the first half against an FCS opponent last week still isnt anything close to a finished product. This could have been a Duke blowout, but in the first half Duke lost a fumble on a deflected backwards pass near midfield, netted no yards after forcing a fumble at the Wake Forest 35 and missed field goals of 30 and 43 yards. The Blue Devils also fumbled away their opening series of the third quarter, turned it over three times -- giving them eight on the season -- and never led in the second half.Our inability to run it early was obvious, Cutcliffe said. Some of our best players are in the backfield. Weve got to put them to work.BAROMETER GAME?Maybe Wake Forest can start checking out hotel rates and flights for the holidays because in eight of the last 10 years, the winner of the Wake Forest-Duke game has gone to a bowl while the loser stayed home. The exceptions: the 2009 and 10 Demon Deacons, who beat the Blue Devils but finished with losing records.UP NEXTWake Forest: The Demon Deacons will look for their first 3-0 start since 2008 when they play host to Delaware of the FCS.Duke heads to Northwestern for the first of two straight out-of-conference trips to the Midwest, with a visit to Notre Dame the following week.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
