Indians win in a walkoff HR in the 12th from Perez after a couple rain delays push the game til after midnight. (Basically same scenario as 95 vs Sox, I'll never for that game as a kid)

Soler starts in RF for Heyward. Anything off speed will handle him.

I think Bauer can do well IF the Cubs are swinging for the fences. The ball ain't flying. If they just hit it hard where it's pitched I think they get to Bauer.

Will watch.

I'll tone it down a bit, but did enjoy the thread running during the game.

I would assume so. I'm a Marlins fan though and I am pulling for the Indians. Fuck. The. Cubs.

As a White Sox fan I hate the Cubs more than any other team. Tigers and Indians are next in line for me, but my hatred for those two pales in comparison. I am rooting quite hard for the Indians to win this.

Back in 2008 the game was tied in the bottom of the 6th and Selig went on record saying that they/he would not have allowed the game to end before a full 9 innings, and both teams knew that going in.

I dont know if any rule was put in place since then or if Manfred will have put that same edict out to both teams but I think a postseason game should be played the full 9
A rule was put in place the next year that basically mimics the decision Selig made on the fly during that TB/PHI series

Hipster country singers. I didn't hate it but wasn't great.

I'll be drinking tonight so my responses will continue to degrade (not that they could get shittier, right Superman?). Let's go Tribe!
