? don't stop believing hold on to that feeling.? >> denise: don't stop believe indeed. indians fans game 7 of the world series is only three hours away. this is it. do or die. we do not want a repeat of '95 or '97. we are a c.h.p. city and we want another parade. >> chris: you can't ask for anything more. this is what it's all 36 winner take all in game 7's in major league baseball history and the home team won 18 and road team won 18. cleveland 19 news sports director tony zarrella joins us now. home team won 9 out of 10 and sets up well for the tribe. >> tony: they couldn't ask for more dory kluber on the mound. bats can't get in a hole. they have to jump for a lead

run at wrigley. coco crisp r.b.i. they need more than that f. they get to a situation with 6 out of kluber in the previous two starts in the world series and get to the bullpen, mark schwab they would be in phenomenal shape. jason kipnis needs help at the plate. he is the only one hitting right now. >> mark: oh, yeah t. would be nice if some of the guys get going. they have not hit well postseason. fortunately, this is where you feel if you can scratch water kluber is enough. you would like more than one or two. the way they have done this, winning the games one and two runs it's been unreal to see this run and how they have done it with things they have had to overcome. i said it a few days ago, i believe we would have botched the greatest indians story in cleveland history. the things they have overcome

think they have no business winning it and they win it. kluber was asked what the past 28 days meant to the club. >> first and foremost it's been a blast. we have enjoyed ourselves and take a lot from how we approached it and not treating it more than each game is another game and we try to win it and not look too far ahead. there's value to taking the approach with season 2. >> i am not trying to sound it is straightforward. if they win this, it is the greatest indians story ever told. they are told if they lose it it is the latest time they broke our heart and they have done that a few times. they need to get one tonight. guys? >> denise: they sure do. tony hendrix is no slouch. we had a tough time beating him in game 3. >> he is solid in the playoffs for the cubs.

there's an old theory in the 7-game series and the more the weaker team is exposed. i am hoping that's not the case with the tribe. they deserve to be here. bats are not alive. as this plays out, the only concern i have they can't generate early offense in the game. i hope that's not the case. >> it will help kevin raga. >> i love tyler naquim. he has 14 strikeou at-bats. >> chris: not a good night for him last night. we don't want to speak to much of last night. it started bad and went down hill from there. >> denise: it wasn't too bad for one fan, it was a memorable night for him. in fact, he was able to catch one of the dingers off the cubs. >> we were sitting here. it went right to us and i saw it coming in. i missed it for a second and it bounced out the seat behind me

the guys are saying throw it back, throw it back, i am thinking to myself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. >> john maddox decided to hang onto it. >> no harm in that. he is under no obligation. >> chris: being here on a glorious day and fans coming alive and ballpark starts to come alive. last night was a atmosphere. we've got this. i am wondering what it is like. >> fans have been camping out a couple of hours to get standing room-only choice spots. catherine bosley has been hanging out with some of them at gateway plaza. catherine, good crowd so far? >> reporter: let me show you this. this is what you do when you have been waiting since 1:00 and you have standing room only tickets. you sit here like this and watch everything that takes place
