Slightly partial to the Cubs, but Cleveland winning would be fine too. I want 7 games.

There was a song on the local sports radio show today called Miller Time -- set to Michael Jackson's Thriller

Generous strike zone tonight

Oh no, free Taco Bell tacos

Bases juiced.

The ol' swinging bunt trick.

I don't mind seeing Laptops rattled

HBP

Klubot is dealing so far

Out

Eat shit, laptop.

Yeah, Schwarbel shouldn't plat

/sarc

See ya! Laptop in line for a loss

Wait, Lester isn't Laptops. Buchholz is Laptops.

Or just singular, Laptop.

[13] Ah, thanks. Still don't mind Lester losing

5 days off, yes bring Miller in for the 7th

I don't mind, but Buchholz is a douche bag, and Lester is a cancer survivor, so I'll never put them in the same category.

Red Sox fans can't see anything in this Series except the GM that got away vs. the manager that got away, so they aren't thinking much about the ace pitcher who got away.

I think I'm rooting for the Indians. Weird. I didn't realize it until I started watching tonight.

Lester may not be as bad as those other two, but he was part of the trio that was drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games. Which is why Francona is in the other dugout.

I've got no dog in this hunt other than seven more baseball games before winter.

Signing off for the night. Early morning.

Good old Miller time.

3 run BOMB in the bottom of the 8th. 6-0.

closer in with a 6-run lead. i know he hasn't pitched in awhile, but maybe he shouldn't be exposed...

tribe wins game 1

Heyo. Sorta watching the world serious from afar, but did yinz see Chad Jennings was let go from Lohud? Sounds like they simply cut the position. I think they should fire whoever designed the site instead.

[24] holy crap, i did NOT see that! that's just terrible. chad was *awesome*. i'm glad pete abe started it, but he was a shit sox fan and nowhere close to as good as chad. a different planet actually.

i had to stop reading lohud because they started charging money this year. i've been reading River Ave Blues and could not be happier. in fact, i'm upset i haven't been reading it religiously the past 10 years. only things i miss from lohud are the in-game threads with updates and post-game with quotes.

is the lohud blog gone? chad is terrific and he'll get a gig immediately. maybe closer to his midwest routes. maybe reporting for the minor leagues, which is his forte.

thanks for everything, chad, and good luck!

[25] i'm not sure if the blog is gone but they cut their beat writers. I agree, Chad was terrific. And yeah I had abandoned lohud almost completely because of their firewall. I just visited there last night for the first time in a while and saw the news.

You could get a few free articles at lohud (and other Gannet publications I assume) per month. But if they're cutting Chad, well I have less reason to go there. Living in Toledo these days I'm not that interested in local lower Hudson Valley news. The Yankees however are a national brand. I get the local newspaper for local news, sports, comics and the advertisements.

Miserably cold and wet here in northern Ohio.

Cubs with a lead

Schwarber comes through

And that's it

Bullpen action for Indians already

4-0 Cubbies! Schwarber comes through again.

Kipnis error. That's why you hustle on routine plays

5-0

Through 5

Welp, the no no is gone

Shut out too

Night, iPad getting low

Whirled Serious game in Wrigley Field, never saw that before.

Overturned

I thought the wind was blowing out tonight

That shoulda been strike 3 to Bryant.

Playing small ball

Hah, I just dropped by to say "they're playing small ball"!
Too slow, though.

Yeah, this is a long, no scoring game.

Plunk

And the Cubs avoid disaster!

Wow. What a DP.

Double play. Maddon's tactic worked

Miller's up

Andrew's in!

Out!

This has the smell of a walk off.

Boy, it really does.

Okay, so who gets the game-winning hit? I'm gonna say...
Rizzo.

Schwarber.

I'm going with Lindor and Kipnis coming through. Maybe Jose Ramirez.

2 more strike em outs for Andrew!!

Struck out the side!

Will Andrew bat???

Scooter approved bunt

Uh oh

Hmm

He's safe. Come on.

Andrew is out of the game.

Managing game 3 as if it's game 7

Cereal comes through! Bad baserunning though...

A run!

Gawd, I remember when Bill Murray was on SNL. Live.

It's getting late for me, or I'm getting old, night

Rizzo with a leadoff single in the bottom of the 9th

Comes down to J-Hey.

Booted ball. 1st and 3rd,2 outs

Baez up. 0-1

2nd and 3rd. 1-1

Win expectancy live:

Low. 2-1.

Tense! Drama!

He went. Even at deuces.

I am surprised that they let the cubs take 2nd base. a base hit would have won instead of tied. But it worked out for Cleveland Native Americans

Struck him out on way high cheese.

5th shutout for the tribe this postseason.

Watched the entire game with my dad on the eve of his 75th birthday. My family flew to NY to surprise him. We're having a music party for him here at the house where I grew up. I'll be playing my nephew's drums.

Here's hoping for a tied world serious.

Yeah, I want 7 games

Lead off double for the Cubs

And now a lead

Tie game.

Tied up

Kluber, of all people, unties it

Indians up 2-1. 47 pitches for Lester and the 2nd ain't over.

Not looking good for Chicago

Klubot suffocating the Cubs

Hard to see Miller in with this big of a lead!

There was no reason to pitch Andrew in a 7-1 game. None! And now there's a blemish on his remarkable postseason run.

Tonight will be the last MLB game I can watch until April, and I hope to see a celebration!

Come on Cubbies, make it a series

here we go!

kipnis hearing some boos.

Surprised he wasn't out on interference by the Indians bullpen

lester looked super sharp in the first frame.

nice hook!

majestic foul ball homerun. wish john miller was calling that...

surprisingly, bauer looked good.

haha. fun!
