    Indians pitching this post-season has been crazy.

    I have no skin whatsoever in this World Series, but the air went out of me after that strikeout. Cold-blooded by Allen.

    Great game. Ballsy fastball up in the zone to take it away from the Cubs.

    That Cubs player would've had an ITP-HR if he'd hustled. Maddon immediately pulled him.

    Blooper-esk play by the RF too.

    Yeah I hate seeing when players don't hustle out the box. But Soler would not have had an ITP-HR. He's slow and has been hampered by a bad hamstring.

    Francona is 10-1 in the World Series

    Did Maddon pull him because he reaggrevated the hamstring?

    Solar would've been VERY near 2nd when the ball dropped. Plus he's more "in stride" to advance and would've put more pressure on the defense. Maybe a throwing error.

    IT'S THE WORLD SERIES!!


    Either Francola or Epstein will double up

    Is Jason Patric really the best celebrity they have? This is the world series.

    We beat the Indians in Cleveland to split the series off of this pitching. They are so good.

    Texans dominated the '12 Ravens. Ravens won the SB.
    Texans had the '13 Seahawks f***** beat. SEA won the SB.
    Astros handled the '15 Royals all season. KC won the WC.
    Rockets swept the '14 Spurs. SA won the title.

    Not sure what any of that means.

    Of Note, this is what a non steroid world series looks like. And I like it. You can really see the difference.

    Bauer has a similar wind-up to Oswalt.

    Good game. Drama walking it's way back to Cleveland.

    Why not kluber in game 6? Do you think he comes out of the pen if indians are up late?

    I personally thought the World Series start time should be moved back to accommodate the Rockets, instead of the Rockets start time moving up, but either way, we pushed Cleveland around and I love that!
