At long, long last, its true: Either the Chicago Cubs or Cleveland Indians will win the World Series.The matchup between teams that forever waited till next year -- next century, really -- is finally here.A classic Fall Classic, for sure.Do-it-all Javier Baez, flashy Francisco Lindor, MVP caliber Kris Bryant and a bevy of young stars. Lights-out relievers Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman, and wily skippers Joe Maddon and Terry Francona.Plus, intrigue if injured All-Star starter Danny Salazar and slugger Kyle Schwarber can play.Oh, and did someone mention something about a drought?Game 1 is at Progressive Field on Tuesday night.In the Cubs last visit to Cleveland, back in August 2015, they posted a 17-0 rout for the most-lopsided shutout ever in interleague play. It got so out of hand two Indians outfielders wound up pitching.But thats ancient history.For the Cubbies, this is their first World Series trip since 1945 and a chance to win their first crown since 1908.They clinched their spot Saturday night at Wrigley Field, with big league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks outpitching Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw for a 5-0 win in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.Favorites since opening day, Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and past October aces Jon Lester and John Lackey helped the Cubs cruise to a major league-leading 103 victories.Now, theyre ready to sweep aside the Curse of the Billy Goat and the specter of Steve Bartman. And make up for the near-misses by Cubs greats such as Ernie Banks, Ron Santo and Billy Williams.Obviously we know that its something thats going to be talked about with the history of the organization, pitcher Jake Arrieta said.But its really not something we focus on at all. So we just kind of disregard it and go out and play, he said.The Indians also a past full of failure and frustration.In 1997, Cleveland was three outs from winning its first championship since 1948 when closer Jose Mesa blew a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 at Florida. An error by sure-handed second baseman Tony Fernandez doomed them in the 11th.Earlier this year, LeBron James and the Cavaliers turned Cleveland into Believeland by rallying to win the NBA title. James has been loudly cheering for the Indians to bring another championship to the city.Steady Jason Kipnis, jolly Mike Napoli and likely Game 1 starter Corey Kluber starred as the surprising Indians won the AL Central, then breezed by Boston and Toronto in the playoffs.The Indians did it despite a thinning rotation. Salazar hasnt pitched since early September because of a forearm problem, Carlos Carrasco got his hand broken by a line drive and Trevor Bauer cut his pinkie playing with a drone.Even though the clubs hold spring training about 30 miles apart in Arizona, they dont overlap a lot.Theyve never played in the postseason and are just 9-9 against each other in interleague action.Miller and Chapman, however, were teammates this season in the New York Yankees bullpen before they both got traded in late July.Francona and current Cubs architect Theo Epstein spent even more time together. In 2004, they teamed up as the Red Sox ended a World Series championship drought dating to 1918 -- when Boston beat the Cubs, by the way.Soon, another city will be celebrating. Maybe next week, maybe next month, with Game 7 scheduled for Nov. 2.A pair of big cities, one on Lake Michigan, the other on Lake Erie, waiting ... and hoping to end the wait.On deck: Great Lakes, great stakes. Air Max Baratas Outlet . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing.

Smith and Pablo Prigioni are staying in New York to help the Knicks build on their best season in nearly decades. The Sixth Man of the Year and the point guard from Argentina both agreed to multiyear deals Thursday, their agents confirmed. Smith helped shoot the Knicks into and then out of the playoffs, having the best season of his career but then struggling through the post-season. The product of nearby New Jersey wanted to stay and the Knicks needed to keep him. They worked out a deal that will pay him about $25 million over four years. Smith averaged 18.1 points during the regular season, second on the team behind Carmelo Anthony. But he momentarily lost his head and then his shot during the post-season, getting suspended a game for elbowing Jason Terry late in Game 3 of a first-round series against Boston and making only 29 per cent of his shots in the final eight playoff games. Still, it was a strong season for Smith, who showed much more maturity and better shot selection than during most of his career. The Knnicks were unlikely to find anyone better with their spending limitations and made re-signing Smith a top priority.dddddddddddd A former teammate of Anthonys in Denver who developed a good relationship with Knicks coach Mike Woodson, Smith posted a picture of himself in a Knicks jersey in front of the team logo on social media Thursday morning. Exact terms of the deals wont be known until July 10, after next seasons salary cap has been set and contracts can be signed. Prigioni finally came to the NBA this season at 35 after playing in Spain. He played limited minutes as a reserve most of the season but moved into the starting lineup down the stretch and the Knicks took off, going 16-2 with Prigioni among the first five. The point guard for Argentinas national team averaged 3.5 points in 78 games. He could make about $6 million over three years. The Knicks still are trying to hold onto another key player, Chris Copeland, from the team that went 54-28 and won the Knicks first Atlantic Division championship since 1994.
