Cleveland's 3-1 lead memes come back to haunt Indians
Cleveland Indians fans are getting a taste of their own medicine.
After Cavaliers fans were quick to crack jokes following the Golden State Warriors 3-1 series collapse in the 2016 NBA Finals, memes are starting to go viral on social media poking fun at Indians fans who are witnessing the Chicago Cubs force a Game 7 in the World Series.

The Indians entered Game 5 with a 3-1 series lead and home field advantage the rest of the way but have seen their postseason magic dissipate, leading to the Cubs winning Game 5 and 6, outscoring the Indians 12-5 in the process. The deciding game will be played Wednesday, so the memes could see an even bigger impact if the Indians lose.
