Now, millions everywhere are gearing up for Wednesday’s historic game. The Cubs are on the verge of a historic comeback and even their official twitter account is willing to help their fans out.

While it’s all fun now, tonight’s game will be anything but, as either the Cubs (108 years without a World Series Championship) or Indians (68 years without a World Series Championship) will end their drought…and in-turn prolong their opponent’s.
