—@jxland1Despite their best efforts, LeBron James, J.R. Smith and Charlie Sheen weren't enough to help Cleveland prevail.
Fun fact: The Cleveland Indians have lost every game LeBron James has attended during this series (Games 2, 6 and 7).

—@NBCSNWhile it was an all-around effort by the Cubs, team president of baseball operations Theo Epstein deserves some special recognition. In 2004, Epstein led the Boston Red Sox to a World Series title to end that franchise's 86-year drought.
Doing it again with the Cubs is quite the encore.
CURSE KILLER!
