It's on! Chicago Cubs talk trash in first trip back to Cleveland since 2016 World Series

From SS Addison Russell, "A whole bunch of memories come flying back. And one more thing...The Cubbies kicked ass in Cleveland."

Tuesday night at Progressive Field, the Cleveland Indians will take on the Chicago Cubs.

It's the first time the two teams have faced each other in a game that matters since November 2, 2016. I won't bother to remind you what happened that night.

As rain fell for a good portion of the afternoon, the Cubs decided to have some fun on Twitter:

Really? This coming from the team that plays in 'The Windy City.' It's not like you guys play in Hawaii or Florida.

SS Addison Russell added more fuel to the fire with this quote to ESPN.com's Jesse Rogers.

“I think back to all those big moments from the rain delay to getting that last out and the dog piling,” Russell said. “Then hoisting up David Ross. A whole bunch of memories come flying back. And one more thing. ...

“The Cubbies kicked ass in Cleveland.”

As Jesse Ventura's character in Predator said, "Payback time."

Game on.
