Unless the Cubs win today there will be no baseball games until March.
It’ll be on Fox at 8:00PM ET. The Cubbies ask LHP John Lester to keep their hopes alive, while the Indians hope RHP Trevor Bauer can win the clincher. Lester is 2-1 with a 1.69 ERA this postseason, while Bauer is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA.
We’ll see.
NPUT
At the risk of Cubbie fans becoming obnoxious, like what happened to Bosox fans, I go with them as representatives of the National League and the team that beat us (only World Champs could do that, right?)
Cubbie tradition is the most important issue on the docket here.
Incredibly dumb baserunning from Pérez.
Seriously — Chapman in the 9th with a 7-RUN LEAD and the possible injury?
Perhaps the contingency manana is Lester and Lackey.
Wow — Chapman in the 7th again, with a 5-run lead??!!!!
I can see using him to get out of the jam, but not to go to the end, with Game 7 looming.
See you for game seven tomorrow night.
Game 7 seems likely.
I hate to tune out early, but…
Addison Russell grand salami. 7-0 Cubs. Whoa…
For those without television: Gameday
Tomlin really fighting it. Error didn’t help one bit.
Indians literally and figuratively dropping the ball in inning one. First time I’ve seen them struggle.
Ugly beginning for the Yahoos.
Warmup baseball for today… https://twitter.com/WBSC/status/793500848823296000
More baseball! https://twitter.com/Argentinabeis/status/793472097813159936
It’s Argentina v. Australia, streaming live from Monterrey (Nuevo León): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgj0_dBfrK4
Go Aussies!
They’re rolling over the Argies – 11-1 in the fifth.
to us I hope
15-3, Aussies. Argentina has little baseball tradition, though I’ve played a bit in a Buenos Aires recreational league that had some decent players. The Cuban and Japanese teams there were the best.
I’m glad they won one at home.
I’m not, but a Yahoos win on Tuesday would be OK.
I am.
And my Cowboys won in OT.
You went to a rodeo?
Football. American.
Formerly the TV ratings monster, but I heard the Series game bet it by 32%. That seems awfully high, but I wouldn’t doubt the supremacy.
Oh, you meant handegg. You should’ve said so.
Joe Buck is not very good. He told us that the Indians’ Guyer had been red-hot. Guyer was 1 for 6 in the Series at the time.
He’s simply awful, but Fox broadcasts the Series primarily to show off the stars from their awful fall programming. That’s why they bought the Dodgers originally.
Smoltz is light-years better than McCarver as Buck’s partner, though.
Smoltz is competent. Buck’s a hack.
Indians not letting the Cubs and their fans relax.
And we think it’s never easy for the Dodgers (it usually isn’t!).
Nice job by Lester to get around that double. That second out was a ball, not a strike, though.
Cubs may be rallying here. One in, one on, no outs.
Disappointing. Not the Cubbies we know and love.
I detest the fact that Fox uses the Series primarily to promote bad TV shows, and puts their “stars” in prime seating.
But we saw Bill Murray and Andre Dawson.
Kenley wins NL Reliever of Year award.
Quite rightly so.
Cubbies off to a Cubbie start.
For the sake of their fans, I hope the hapless Cubs can win tonight.
Me too.
If the Indians are to win anyway, let them win on their own field and give the Cubs fans a chance to celebrate.
We all got to see what a magical moment it was for LA to clinch the West at home. (Of course, that was the Hollywood ending with Vin’s home finale.)
I have nothing against the Cubbies, but they need to continue to embrace their tradition, which is part of baseball legend.
