MLB 2016

Sad to say that I've followed the cavaliers since Lebron & the Indians since the beliveland documentary. They felt so Everton but yet I feel like a glory hunter right now.

Does it help if I follow SMU in football?

How did you pick up the Smurfs?

 

[mezzrow]

Wow, what a game. So tough for Cubbies, but for neutrals like myself and Cusack, that was something to watch.

Cleveland pitchers were nails. Cubs pitching wasn't bad, either. We didn't win a two-strike situation all night - they always had the out pitch and just didn't make any mistakes. Credit where it's due.

On to tomorrow.

Very good game last night. Huge game tonight with Kluber on the bump. Got
to be some concern with the Cubs offense having been blanked 2 out of the first 3 games

Does God love Cleveland?

I think he may.

 

[wm02]

Oh boy. Bomb from Kipnis

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Cubs curse will live on.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Cubs pitchers average, batters too aggressive. Chokers.

Kluber is like a terminator.

F_ck the Indians

You should be complaining about the cubs doing an Everton circa 2009.

I know. But I'm just looking for someone to blame. And it's not gonna be the Cubs (even though it should).

Cubs, that.

 

[wm02]

These Indians remind me a lot of the Royals last year- dominant bullpen, lots of contact hitters throughout the lineup and a questionable staff that has done better than expected

Yeah, I'm afraid so. They look pretty indomitable. I am keeping my fingers crossed though.

Cubs have a really good chance tonight with Lester v. Dronefinger

 

[mezzrow]

Poor plate discipline and the Tribe en fuego. That is the story.

That thing we feel at our backs is a wall. The Cubs have run off 17 streaks of three wins or more this season, tonight's matchup is good, and we need one win. That's all you can do in one night. Guys have to stop expanding the zone and must go deeper into counts to force their pitchers out of their comfort zone.

I'll be watching the rest from Casa de Mezz, hopefully that will be the final piece of the puzzle. Either way, history gets made this year.

All credit to the Indians and their most excellent manager.
