Another cracking game
MLB 2016
- Thread starter Barbara Charles
- Start date
really thought Boston where going to at least get passed Cleveland, very surprised they got swept.
No surprise, Nytram. The entire team has been in a hitting slump for over two weeks. Great timing.

I think Span was safe there, but that was a hell of a play
yeah when you look at it like that.....
Dodger pen is a fecking joke.....bunch of average cnuts with no fecking killer instinct.....fecking bottlers.
And my point proved once again...that fat feck Joe Blanton just piped a pitch down the middle to a pitch hitter with tan 0-2 count, the bases loaded, two outs, and with the game tied in which he deservedly got lit up for a grand slam.....DODGER BULLPEN GO feck YOURSELF....CLEAN HOUSE, GET THOSE feckING MUPPETS OUT OF THERE!
Flipped over from the OSU/Wisconsin game just in time to see Montero's at bat. BAM!
Not looking good for my Jays. 
Meh, Jays are done. #gibbonsout
Fat feck Blanton just gave up another 2 run HR to give Cubbies a 3-1 lead. Utterly useless.
He's given up 3 massive HRs, 7 RBI...all on crap, hanging sliders and one curveball.
He shouldn't throw another pitch in this series....I think it's pretty much done...Kershaw may steal game 6 to force 7 but the Cubbies bats are alive and without a bullpen, we are finished.
Let's smash Greaton too, for the sake of it. In typical Cubs style, prob blow up in game 7 if Kershaw throws a blinder to win game 6.
This post from the 2014 MLB thread has come to seriously bite me and my beloved Dodgers in the arse. Sorry @Feeky MageeDa Cubs?!?
Happy for Hendricks, he used to pitch for my local minor league team.
Wow, did anyone see the amount of fans outside the stadium? Marlins guy is there again I see
Insane!!
Wow, I'm almost in tears watching this and I'm not even a Cubs fan. Fantastic
Could never claim to be a huge baseball fan but between the ESPN 30for30 and ROTY I always have checked semi regularly on Chicago. Fair play to them, finally.
Congrats @Feeky Magee
i can't make my mind up if i want the Cubs to win or not, i mean it would be a historical moment if they did...... but the Cubs not winning in so long is part of baseball it wouldn't feel right having them as defending champions.
Lester is sooo overrated.
Love to see The Indians win it - real life Major League.
Watching the Indians at home looks weird when don't see any fans behind home plate .
Cubs fans have stood by their team for decades, Indians fans show up when it's fashionable or the club is contending. Typical fair-weather fandom.
I'm pulling for the Cubs. Boston ended their curse, time for the Cubs.
It's absolutely ridiculous Chicago doesn't have homefield but we can thank Selig's ego and idiocy for that.

As a Boston fan, this is where I'm at as well. Adding to that its that it's Epstein who built this Cubs team.
Chicago is going to be booming this weekend, and you can get there for £400.....I am so tempted. I'm no die hard, but been there since the Channel 5 days of Sosa!
God, that commercial.
God, that commercial.
Before the All-star game rule, it was alternated between the two leagues. Would have to go back and see if we would be on an AL or NL year under the old rules.
But the whole All-star game thing is incredibly stupid, it's a freaking exhibition game.
Also time to either so away with the DH completely or make the NL adopt it.
I was once for the elimination of the DH but these days I have no desire to watch pitchers bat when it's practically a guaranteed out in most scenarios. I say DH for both leagues.
Prior to the 94 strike, the AL hosted in odd years, the NL in even years. With the strike this would be the AL year to host had the initial rule held true. If MLB was going to change the rule it should have been in favor of the club with the better record.

There's definitely a special vibe in the City right now. Most people I know are watching the games. People who don't follow or know anything about the game. The Cubs losing streak has just become part of the Chicago culture, folklore and identity.
We had a couple of tickets at work for the Friday game. Sold them for $24k.

Only if they win in legendary fashion like the Red Sox. A great curse needs great magic to break it.
Goddammit, Yahweh, you better not do this to those Cubs fans you sadist feck. That goes for you as well, FSM.
yeah i agree, i mean as a neutral in this series i want it to go to a game 7, but if the cubs do win you want it to be something like an 9th Inning Ralley.
Been at Wrigleyville 6 hours before the game and the place was buzzing way more than Old Trafford before a CL game. Gotta admit I wasn't into Baseball at all but after learning more about the game I'm totally on the bandwagon now.
Of course it would be more buzzing than a CL game at Old Trafford, ones pretty regular....one hasn't happened for generations.
The cubbies goose is cooked I think, for this year at least.
Cubs hitters just swing at anything thrown up and fail at moving runners. Credit to Cleveland pitching and hitting. Sickening for those Cubs fans.
Cubs players perhaps under too much pressure from the whole curse thing?
