CHICAGO -- Unable to close the deal in wild and windy Wrigley Field, the Cleveland Indians are heading home a win short.One more. Thats all they need. A rare opportunity they cant let slip away.But that 68-year title wait isnt over yet.Trevor Bauer had one shaky inning Sunday night and that was enough for the Chicago Cubs to claim their first World Series win at Wrigley since 1945, an intense 3-2 victory in Game 5 that prevented Cleveland players from spraying champagne inside the ballparks ivy-covered walls.The Indians, who managed to take two of three while playing by National League rules in Chicago, will get their next chance to win a first Series title since 1948 on Tuesday night at Progressive Field, where they went 53-28 during the regular season and are 5-1 in the postseason.Were in good position still, first baseman Mike Napoli said. Were up 3-2 and going home. We did what we had to do here. We put ourselves in position to try and win it in a crazy atmosphere. Now were going to go home and try and win it in front of our fans.Were still a confident group. Nobodys hanging their head in the clubhouse. Were all packing up to go home, sleep in our own beds and get after it when the time comes.Josh Tomlin will start Game 6 on short rest against Jake Arrieta, and if he cant finish the job for the Indians, they still have an ace up their sleeve. Corey Kluber, who has won both his starts in this Series, will be ready again on three days rest for Game 7 -- if necessary.Cleveland fans are hoping it isnt.The drone-flying Bauer, whose postseason was briefly a bloody mess, soared through the first three innings, matching Chicagos Jon Lester almost pitch for pitch. Bauer struck out the side in the first and only gave up a single over the first three innings before he got into trouble in the fourth.Bauer lost for the second time in the Series and more than a few Cubs fans werent about to let him leave town without some postgame taunts.As Bauer stood near the Indians dugout following the game, one fan waving a W flag screamed: Bauer, can you pitch Game 6? One more time.Another fan thanked Bauer for losing.This time, he fired back.Be sure to thank me when you lose Game 6, he hollered before heading to the Indians cramped clubhouse.In the fourth, Kris Bryant tattooed Bauer for a leadoff homer, and by the time the inning was over, he had allowed three runs and put the Indians in a hole that proved to be just a little too deep.After Bryants homer into the left-field bleachers, Anthony Rizzo doubled off the right-field wall and soon Cubs fans were bellowing Bow-er, Bow-er, hoping to rattle the right-hander who has been prone to big innings all year and only recently had 11 stitches removed from his pinkie after slicing it open while repairing one of his remote-controlled models.Ben Zobrist followed Rizzos double by lacing a single to center and then the Cubs took a softer approach, getting an infield roller, bunt single and sacrifice fly to take a 3-1 lead.Still, Bauer felt good about his outing.I felt great, he said. I threw the ball really well. Had command of all my pitches, but I wanted to win tonight. Weve got to win one more game.The Indians, whose season has been marked by resilience and comebacks both personal and collective, closed to 3-2 in the sixth on Francisco Lindors RBI single.They also had scoring chances in the seventh and eighth against Cubs flame-thrower Aroldis Chapman, summoned by manager Joe Maddon earlier than usual with Chicagos season dangling by a thread.Lindor came up again in the eighth, and with a chance to drive in the tying run from third with two outs, he looked at strike three -- a 101 mph, four-seam fastball that he thought was low.Clevelands star shortstop, thrown out trying to steal second in the sixth, spent more than 20 seconds standing in the batters box. He seemed upset at both plate umpire Tony Randazzo and himself. Lindor slowly lifted his helmet and peeled off his gloves before taking the field.He and the Indians will have another chance, maybe two, where the confines are friendlier.Our fans are unreal, Lindor said. The whole entire time theyve been great. Im looking forward to going home and, hopefully, getting the win over there.Pavel Zacha Jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. Travis Zajac Jersey .ca. 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. http://www.devilssale.com/authentic-sami-vatanen-devils-jersey/ .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift.

A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, But a solemn writer is always a bloody owl. -- Ernest HemingwayHere at Bottom 10 headquarters, located at the back of the line at your local voting precinct, we are willing to admit that we havent slept in several days. Our eyes are opened as widely as possible, dominating our facial features like a permanent case of surprise. You know, like an owl.During the 3:30 p.m. ET games, when the rest of the nation was locked in on Florida-Arkansas or the end of Mississippi State-Texas A&M, our optical nerves were transfixed on ESPN3, on Rice Stadium, where the FAU Owls flew into the aviary of the Rice Owls. I was in Baton Rouge to cover Alabama-LSU but nearly missed that games kickoff because my mind was elsewhere. I was staring at the Pillow Fight of the Century.Later, around 1:00 a.m., I left Death Valley and stumbled into the darkness. As I walked to my rental car I was scrolling through my phone, examining the box score from Houston and muttered aloud to no one, I cant believe FAU won. Suddenly, I heard a rustling in the dark branches of the moss-draped trees up above. Someone had heard my query. A Strigiformes voice called down to me with a response.WHO?With apologies to Captain Tony and Steve Harvey, heres this weeks Bottom 10.1. Rice (1-7) Losing the Pillow Fight of the Century is bad. Losing the PFOC while surrendering multiple offensive records to the previously top bottom-ranked team is worse. But losing the next two weekends, to former Bottom 10 member Charlotte and frequent Bottom 10 waiting list visitor UTEP would be ... um ... worser? Worserest? More worserest? Covered in worst-eshire sauce? Actually, never mind. Nothing can be considered the worst of anything if its covered in Worcestershire sauce.2. Bowling Green (1-8) The Falcons have emerged, wait Im sorry, submerged from the gauntlet that was the monthlong MACtion round robin bunkhouse stampede battle royal of one-win teams. Over the next two Tuesday nights they will face Akron and Bottom 10 flirt State of Kent, games that are merely the salad that comes before the Thanksgiving feast that will be Buffalos visit to Bowling Green on Nov. 25.3. Fres-no State (1-9) For those of you who have been complaining to our Bottom 10 selection committee that there has been too much a of a Conference USA bias this season, wed like to point out that the top bottom-three teams are now scattered across three conferences. Wed also like to point out that the letters youve been sending us smell like malt liquor and stale Lucky Charms.?4. FA(not I)U?(2-7)No, a win over the otheer Owls does not allow these Owls to fly out of the Bottom 10.dddddddddddd But should they defeat the UTEP Miners next week, they could soar up and away to escape, like a canary leaving a coal mine.5. Texas A&M?(7-2)Last week in the ESPNU newsroom we were watching the Chicago Cubs victory parade and wondering who are the Cubs of college football? Whats the program with the most fervent fans despite having not won a national title in decades? The Aggies were the most mentioned team. When the surprise top four College Football Playoff team lost to Mississippi State it reminded of what my mother said after we got our first VHS player and my little brother immediately crammed a grilled cheese sandwich into it, This is why you cant have nice things!6. Kansas Nayhawks?(1-8) Now that the Owl Bowl is in the books, our focus shifts to Pillow Fight of the Century 2: Electric Boogaloo. This Saturday at high noon Kansas welcomes in ...7. I-Ow!-A State?(1-8) ... these guys. And if a line of Cyclones are blowing into Kansas looking to create havoc, then theres only one title you can rightfully give this game -- the Auntie Em Bowl.8. Marshall Blundering Herd ?(2-7)Ive just been corrected concerning my earlier comment about FAU by someone identifying himself as a Marshall alum. That doesnt work because the canary never gets out of the coal mine because he dies, the West Virginia native told me via telephone. Then I asked if itd be that hard for a canary or an owl to rescue itself from a deep, dark, endless subterranean hole, how difficult would it be for something as big as Marco the Buffalo? The man hung up on me. The caller ID said R. Moss.?9. UMess?(2-8) After a rough outing at Troy, the Minutemen will face the Fightin Byes of Open Date U. Then they will close out the season with visits to BYU and Hawaii. Those trips west from Amherst likely wont do much to improve their Bottom 10 status, but they will absolutely improve their Chairman Preferred status.10. In a Rut-gers ?(2-7)OK, show of hands, when the season started, who could have possibly predicted that a Week 11 matchup between Rutgers and Michigan State would receive serious consideration to be named a Pillow Fight of the Week? OK, sir, you in the back with the khakis and no shirt on, please put your hand down.Waiting list: Buffalo Bulls not Bills (2-7), Mizz-ewww (2-7), Michigone State (2-7), Oregone State (2-7), Georgia State Not Southern (2-7), Texas State Armadillos (2-6), New Mexico State (2-6), announcing youre going to protest and then protesting but then kinda trying to act like it wasnt really a protest.
