Lifelong Cleveland fan, now living on the West Coast and trying to get tickets to games 6 or 7 right now!

Indians in 6 is my hope..

---

There won't be a game 6. Better luck next year.

---

You may be right.

Of course I'll be happy with a win tonight, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me secretly hoping for the Cubs to stay alive so Tomlin gets the chance to win the series in Cleveland.

I do think Lester handles Bauer tonight though.

"We're extremely proud of Tyler," Texas A&M head coach Rob Childress said. "He's reached the highest level of competition a baseball player can reach. He's someone who has worked hard for everything he's gotten and he deserves this success. We still see it in the off-season when he comes here to work out. He doesn't waste any days. Every day he wakes up with the goal of improving and becoming the best ballplayer he can be. He's always prepared when called upon and I think that's one of the things that probably caught the attention of the Indians' coaching staff this season. This is a really enjoyable ride for his former Aggie coaches, teammates and the 12th Man."

No part of me is rooting for the Cubs..we Clevelanders were on the other end of this 3-1 thing just 4 months ago...

I yelled "gig 'em, Tyler" at him yesterday but I don't think he heard me.

Understand completely, but Josh is a friend of mine.

I love Josh. He just goes out there and grinds out wins. He knows he doesn't have "great stuff" but still finds a way to win.

have the Indians worn the same jersey for all 5 games? That might be a record in and of itself

going to be hilarious to see the cubs lose every game at wrigley.

bad read on that foul ball. great catch to cover up the mistake.

solo homer followed by a double that should have been an out but right fielder misplayed.

Cubs have a chance for a big inning...

A couple really ballsy plays there, especially the Baez bunt. Cubs seem to be playing with a little fire that wasn't there the last two nights. Would enjoy seeing this go to 7 either way as an impartial observer.

I'd pinch hit Schwarber for Ross right now. And tell Lester to deal with it.

Ross came through with the sac fly. You keep Schwarber in the wings for a late game PH if needed.

Heyward looks lost. Baez bunt was ballsy but a beaut... Big AB from Ross.

CLE was lucky to get out of that inning only down 2.

Pitch to Guyer called a Ball 2 times in a row... 3 pitches later in a full count, same pitch called a strike.. Damn, the Cubbies getting lucky in the field and all the calls at the plate.

MLB isn't fixed like the NBA

Finally saw this Lester pickoff business and refusing to pick off when the guy is 20 feet off the base

What a joke, just flip the ****in ball over

I think it's time to accept that Francisco Lindor is our baseball savior

Love when a manager is willing to do stuff like going to your closer in the 7th if it is a critical situation (even at the end of the lineup)...

somewhere Tony LaRussa is shaking his head in disapproval

They've been getting the ball/strike calls most of the series......

The ****??????

In Game 3 they certainly did. MLB Network talked a good bit about how the Cubbies got 80% of the wrong calls (Called ball should have been strike and vice versa) go their way.

Tonight that Guyer AB was egregious Umping.

Chapman batting with a RISP
Heyward stealing 3rd with 2 outs and a lefty

Gotta love it...

And the called third strike on Bryant that was three inches high?

Ballgame. Going to 6. As a non-fan, this has been a fun series to watch. I really like this match up!
