Congrats, Joe and Thread.
Looks like it's going to be a magical year for Cleveland sports, with an NBA title and at least a pennant (I know the ALCS isn't over, but your pitching and bullpen are just too deep, while your offense is just as good as the Jays).
How bout them Dodgers, Pulp?Quote:

That would be quite impressive. Especially, if he were to pitch well.Quote:

Hope the Jays get swept

:toast. Made us sweat for a while there. Not sure about Joe taking Lester out early, but he played his bench perfectly so there's that. Crucial gm 1 win, especially with Kershaw pitching next game.
Honestly, if anything, this game made me think the Doyers have a shot. If they win tomorrow I think they have the advantage.
We were definitely hitting the ball hard all night and making the Cubs defense work, but aside from Kersh, we just don't have another shutdown ace. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have to go through the 4 headed monster of Lester, Hendricks, Arrieta, and Lackey.Quote:

No sign of fatigue in that inning. Might be a long night for the Cubbies.
:worthy: Kershaw
lets hope he doesn't beat us 4 times in this series.
Kershaw shedding his choking ways before our eyes, it seems.
That was painful to watch. I'm not sure how Kershaw ever struggled in the postseason with the kind of stuff he displayed tonight. On to Rich Hill now.
Great game. Kersh shedding some of the choking label.
That was basically an elimination game, since the Dodgers would have zero chance at the series if they blew Kershaw's start. Cubs are still big faves. I actually think Dodger stadium works more in the Cubs' favor due to their power and speed. And you have to like Arrieta and Lackey against Hill and Urias. In any event, just happy Kershaw didn't blow it for once.
Basically against one team, your mortal enemies, who've broken many a hearts.Quote:
