You're right, sorry about that...brain cramp

The Tribe are pretty significant underdogs on the money line today. I fired at it. Pretty good value...they made the line off the pitchers names but Tito isn't going to let Merritt get shelled. I think it'll be a short hook if he runs into issues.

Another thing to consider regarding the potential Kluber/rest/Game 7 scenario is if the weather forecast holds, there's a decent shot Game 6 gets rained out. That gives you a day back potentially, depending on how they handle it

Easier solution: win today

I highly doubt that any manager, when up 3-0 in a best-of-7 series, is making contingency plans for if it goes the full 7.

We are going to the World Series.
Shockingly.............I agree with you.

Not sure if Buster is trying one of those announcer jinxes or just keep things in perspective

Just about game time. I scooted out yesterday to the bar at 4. It didn't work out so I have a couple other things to wrap up and I'm going pick up my son from daycare and head home and enjoy the game at home.

I have a couple of cold Stone Enjoy by 10-31 Tangerine Double IPAs to enjoy while we clinch the pennant tonight.

Let's go Tribe!

Terry Francona has been public about his thinking about the entire series after they were up 3-0.

"...“We've talked about not just Game 4 but Games 3, 5, 6 and 7, because there's a little bit of ambiguity there, with Trevor and his finger, and with Clevinger not being stretched out,” Francona said before Saturday’s Game 2. “So there are some options I think for us moving forward. ..."

"...
He, Kluber, said he’s open to anything. If he pitches Game 4, he also would be in line to start Game 7 next Saturday on short rest. ..."

Estrada not sharp early on

Tribe lead 1-0

Is it too early to bring in Miller?

Merritt dropped some filth on Easy E to get him looking to end the first.

We went to the same shitty hole in the wall where we watched all four Cavs finals wins and all of the Indians road playoff wins...and it finally didn't work. So today I am stuck at work until 5 and then I am going home.

Also Go Tribe and fuck you, Joey Bats!

You remember that time an umpire called a strike on Russell Martin and he didn't bitch? Me either.
