  1. They are really hitting him well. Need some runs though.
  2. That looked like Javy got more of it than he did.
  3. You know what I love about Russell besides everything? When he was interviewed about his nerves and the GW DP against the Dodgers and he said how much HE wants the ball in that situation. I love his confidence. Extend it again to the plate tonight.
  4. Steve Stone is predicting it'll be a slider, low and away.
  5. After seeing Contreras looking... not great behind the plate last night, I agree. He's a great weapon off the bench late in the game as well.
  6. I understand the suck. I'm in Germany, game starts at 1 am here. So I'm going to try to leave work early, get to bed early, wake up at 1 am, watch the game, then survive on coffee the rest of the day. Luckily, my boss is a Red Sox fan, so he understands. Took leave for the whole series. Didn't even want to pretend to care about anything else this week. I make zero guarantees about the quality/quantity of my work the last couple weeks.
  7. This is exactly how I feel and why I hope Joe doesn't get the fire in his ass if Hendricks gives up a run in the first inning and a couple base runners. They need 27 outs tonight. He needs at least 5 innings from Hendricks if he wants to win this game tonight. Lester, while I completely understand going to him in the bullpen, is a relative unknown in that role. Chapman is probably good for up to 3 tonight... but I don't want to see Hendricks out of there in the 4th inning with a man on first and 1 run game (either way). He's got ice in his veins. He's been one of the top pitchers in the league tonight and has pitched great in the postseason too. Believe in him.
  8. So what sucks is that I have to fall asleep here across the Pacific before this game comes on at 9 am. Needless to say, I have a very forgiving boss who understands that these are, indeed, the most unique and pressing of circumstances. I've watched every game this series, 4 of which with no sound. Its time to become fans who have cheered for a team who's won the World Series.
  9. Lineup prediction for Tuesday: Fowler- CF Bryant- 3B Rizzo- 1B Zobrist- LF Schwarber- DH Russell- SS Heyward- RF Contreras- C Baez- 2B Go with your best defensive lineup and your best hitters at each position. These guys got you to the dance. Now's not the time to tinker with Chris Coghlan.
  10. We need to start tomorrow's game thread now. Its going to be a win. No one will be at Wrigley for the game. It can get to 100 pages of dong-filled glory. Doom boners not welcome.
  11. I really feel like we should win this game. Just get it back to Cleveland. Love you regardless and thanks for a great season if this is the end. I'll be at work, but watching astutely while I pretend like I"m being super busy. Go Cubs.
  12. Indians blew a 3-1 lead in the 07 ALCS to the Red Sox... #clingingtoirrelevantstats
  13. I just picked up my KB World Series jersey yesterday (ordered it last Sunday) and put it on. It smells like a combination of cheap cigarettes and kimchi. I can barely stand the smell, but its time that his luck turns around. He's gonna hit a monster dong this inning.
  14. Why did Javy have to hop into the 2014 time machine?
  15. Nice to see Kluber's getting the inside zone tonight.
