Cleveland Indians vs Chicago Cubs World Series Game 3: Answering All Your Questions
The Tribe dropped Game 2 by a score of 5-1.

CLEVELAND, OH - That did not go as planned. The Tribe got beaten down by the Chicago Cubs after starting pitcher Jake Arrieta no-hit the Indians through most of five innings. Arrieta finally cracked in the fifth when he gave up a run and got yanked from the game, but the damage was already done. The Cubs were able to jump all over Trevor Bauer, who gave up two early runs and got pulled after 3.2 innings. Chicago eventually ran out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back.
Now the action will shift back to Chicago with series knotted at one game apiece.

Even Though We Lost, Did the Team Have a Good Time?: Danny Salazar pitched for the first time since Sept. 9, so the team did seem happy about that. Here's a GIF of the boys playing around with some maracas and a tambourine.

After Filing a Missing Persons Report for the Cubs' Offense, Did Cleveland Police Cool Their Twitter Account Off?: They most certainly did not. The boys in blue continued their social media mastery after trolling Chicago fans on Tuesday. This time they were celebrating getting on the board against a tough Cubs pitching outing.

You have to respect their Twitter game.
You've Been Dodging This Long Enough. Talk About the Cubs: Okay, that's fair. They were really good last night, particularly their pitchers. Arrieta was throwing ace material for most of the night, and Mike Montgomery threw fire from the bullpen. This is going to be a back-and-forth series, I think. Both teams can get shutdown pitching performances and scratch across the runs needed to win a game. Plus, the Cubs have some big, big, big bats in their lineup.

Why Did the Cubs Troll Charlotte Hornets Forward Frank Kaminsky and LeBron James?: The Kaminsky thing is a bit odd. It looks like Frank the Tank is a White Sox fan and has been embroiled in a war of Twitter words with the Cubbies for a while now. Kaminsky wore a Steve Bartman jersey to the United Center in Chicago and has Tweeted pictures of the notorious cursed goat and GIFs of Bartman snatching that ball of the air. The Cubs haven't been shy about retaliating and they Tweeted this tonight, hitting two birds with one stone.

Did LBJ Respond?: He didn't have to. When you have the baddest man in the world chilling in your suite, words are a formality.
