"Wild Thing" Charlie Sheen Recaps World Series, Comments On Bill Murray

Charlie Sheen thinks the World Series will go 7 games, and perhaps controversially, doesn't take a side on who he thinks is going to win it all. The actor wrote a lengthy letter published by THR in which he summarized the World Series so far, including his take on Bill Murray's now-infamous rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," and more. 

Starting first with Bill Murray and his...questionable decision to do the thing as Daffy Duck, Sheen said this...

I should also mention Bill Murray's "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." As a student of the game, Bill's intro sounded like he was talking about Harry Caray, but then he goes into Daffy Duck. That doesn't sit at the doorstop of baseball's unearthed mythology. It's was... different. That's all I'm saying.

Sheen talked about all the games and then finished out game five with this:

The Cubs gambled and brought in Aroldis Chapman in the seventh, who broke his pitch count, but still threw 100 mph and 101 mph consistently. I knew it was going to be coming back to Cleveland then. Even before Chapman happened, I could just hear the commentators talking about the first World Series win in Wrigley since Oct. 8, 1945. There is no way that a team that wins 103 games and clinches the post season in August loses a hat-trick at home having waited what must feel like 2,000 years. 

While it must sting for Cleveland friends to have their unofficial mascot not beat his chest and say "Cleveland all the way," I think Sheen is just being honest. (Sheen played Cleveland pitcher Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in 1989's Major League.) Having watched the series, and baseball in general, it doesn't take much for a game to go south for a winning team. Not to put a jinx or anything, but a Cleveland team did already win a championship this year after being down three games in a series...can they close it out before the Cubs catch up?
