End game: Indians can't finish off amazing season with title (Yahoo Sports)

Unable to stop Chicago's curse-slaying run, the Indians, a team that perhaps embodied Cleveland's blue-collar, get-off-the-mat ethos more than any other, finally succumbed in the 10th inning, losing 8-7 early Thursday before a downpour soaked thousands of Cubs fans who stood in the rain savoring the end of their 108-year championship wait. Heartbreak still resides in Cleveland. The Indians weren't expected to be playing in October, never mind November, and they took some solace in pushing the Cubs to the limit.
