If 2016 trends stay true, the “Sweet Meteor of Death” (#SMOD on Twitter) will hit the earth — specifically, at Progressive Field in Cleveland — in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 with the score tied and the Cleveland Indians’ Mike Napoli at bat.
The Cubs’ Jon Lester will have dueled with the Tribe’s Corey Kluber through 6 scoreless innings, with Bryan Shaw, Andrew Miller and Cody Allen holding the Chicago line-up scoreless in their turns in relief of Cluber. And Arlodis Chapman will be looking long and hard at Napoli, the almost certain World Series MVP, if he delivers one more “Party at Napoli’s” homer just as SMOD appears in the sky.
