Should assure he can get the 7th and 8th no problem.

It's really amazing that he swung at first pitch when you think about this. Why not make him burn 5 or 6 pitches. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Is that like the 6th ball to the warning track or does it just feel that way.

 

[General Malaise]

God, Miller is just filthy.

Three

But who is counting

Edit: 3 for Toronto, that is

It's been a lot

 

[Bobcat10]

Kipnis and Napoli each put one to the fence. Of course the Tribe have a few over too.

 

[pollardsvision]

Lindor is pretty good

 

[Northern Voice]

The guy who ran on the field during Bautista's last AB as a Jay is worse than the beer thrower in my books.

 

[Zegras11]

Nice job Tribe

 

[Politician Spock]

 

[tjnc09]

 funny things happen when the Blue Jays don't play one of the two easiest teams in the playoffs.

Maybe one of these years they can beat a real playoff team  

 

[Limp Ditka]

It's even more entertaining when I don't have to encourage it

 

[Limp Ditka]

real

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Congratulations to the Indians and their fans!  I hope your team wins the Series.

 

[tjnc09]

Your prediction that Cleveland would lose to Boston was really entertaining.

I think instead of fearless you meant idiotic.

 

[Bobcat10]

Good series Jays fans. Seemed closer than 4-1 to me. But when we kept turning over leads to the pen, I kept feeling pretty confident. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Your prediction that Cleveland would lose to Boston was really entertaining.

Oh noes! I was wrong.

Meanwhile, from what I can tell, you sat on the sidelines and didn't even bother predicting that series.

 

[tjnc09]

It really wasn't a good series.  Toronto is good enough to beat the #### that makes the postseason, but that's about it.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

The guy who ran on the field during Bautista's last AB as a Jay is worse than the beer thrower in my books.

Which time? 

 

[tjnc09]

I didn't need to predict it.  As soon as northern said he was glad Toronto was facing Cleveland instead of Boston, I knew it was a lock. :IBTL:

 

[Glass Joe]

I thought Toronto was a really scary team and thought the Indians would be in trouble. Instead the tribe just was on a roll. Amazing run.

says the guy that wants to let in 3 more teams.....

.... per league

 

[The Duff Man]

Well deserved win Tribe. Epic run for the city of Cleveland if they can win it all. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

I didn't need to predict it.  As soon as northern said he was glad Toronto was facing Cleveland instead of Boston, I knew it was a lock. :IBTL:

Like I said, I encourage it

 

[Limp Ditka]

Congrats to the Tribe for not suffering the embarrassment that comes with blowing a 3-1 lead.

Yep.  CLE's pen was outstanding, games were close - could probably point to 2-3 pitches that made the difference in most games of the series.  

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Congrats to the Tribe for not suffering the embarrassment that comes with blowing a 3-1 lead. 

Would have been really bad if they lost Game 7 at home.

 

[tjnc09]

Like I said, I encourage it

You picked Boston over Cleveland.  That's all I need to know about your lack of baseball knowledge  

 

[Limp Ditka]

Where's your perfect bracket?

 

[Northern Voice]

Congrats Cleveland fans. Good team, good series, your team was better.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Congrats to the beisbol forum Tribe fans: Tom, Man with no Name, Polards, and Bobcat.  In June I said they were the best team in the AL, I wasn't wrong. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Waiting

Boston in the World Series

Boston in the World Series

Waiting.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I'd suggest that there were new levels of pathetic being displayed here by tj, but nothing is more pathetic than a 73 win Warriors team blowing a 3-1 finals lead.

 

[tjnc09]

I'm doing very well this postseason.  Thanks for all the fade material, limp.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

The Toronto heckler yelling "you suck" five times an at bat to Tribe players needs to ease up on the Molson. 

Molson (particularly "XXX") makes people do strange things. Such as stand in their buddy's backyard on the Fourth of July and let two of their best friends shoot at them with a lit Roman candle.

Or so I've heard.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I've gotten both wild card games right

3 - 4 Division series right.

So what exactly are you fading?

BTW - How are your predictions looking?

 

[Limp Ditka]

[Peyton Marino]

excited to watch Urias pitch tonight

 

[pollardsvision]

I'm sure it's happened and I just didn't pay attention, but how many people sing the National Anthem in back-to-back nights in the Postseason? In LA seems even more impressive. That dude sings pretty much a perfect Anthem.

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

Funny subtitle, nice work!

Did any of you hear A-Rod lambasting Pete Rose the other night?  "Don't bet on it!!!"  I keep looking for it on Youtube, to no avail.  Would love a link to it!  Thanks.

Did Pete return with a "put that in your syringe and shoot it!"?

I am so thankful cameraphones hadn't been invented yet when I was learning how to drink.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Just awful. 

 

[whoknew]

OUT?!? What?

He was clearly safe.

 

[sporthenry]

This review thing isn't working. 

 

[fdas2]

He was safe, but on the other hand, screw LA
