Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2016 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For October 29, 2016

screen-shot-2016-10-29-at-10-51-11-pm

BRAD MANGIN/MLB PHOTOS

Will baseball end on Sunday? Will the people who spent all that money on tickets to see the Cubs play in Wrigley walk away depressed?

I don’t have answers yet. And the Cubs do not have answers for the Indians pitching!

So who owned October and the World Series?

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 29th.
2016 World Series Game 4:

Receiving 1 WOO’s and WOWS

Jason Kipnis singled, doubled, smashed a back breaking 3 run homer and scored twice to lead Cleveland to the brink of the World Series title against the Cubs, 7-2.

Corey Kluber overcame early trouble to throw 6 innings, striking out 6 and walking no Cubs to earn the 7-2 victory for the Indians.

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s and WOWS

Dexter Fowler scored both of the Cubs runs with a double and a shocking homer off of Miller but it was not enough as the Indians prevailed, 7-2.
