2018 ~*~off-i-cal~*~ Cleveland Indians thread

MayDay10

Not liking the way this is looking. Tomlin vs Kendrick is a bad match-up... then Kluber on 3 days rest vs Lackey in Game 4. Game 5 would be... what Lester vs... Merritt??? Then the Bauer/Arrieta mismatch if there is a Game 6, then Kendrick vs Kluber on 3 starts in 8 days in Game 7.

I wonder if Francona would consider starting Miller for a game? Get 30-40 pitches out of him and pass the baton?


This would be looking much more promising with Carrasco and (healthy) Salazar

I so hope the Cubs lose tonight. It would be such a Cubs thing to do to get to the WS and then get swept. I don't see that happening but the looks on Cubs fans faces in Wrigley on Friday will be priceless should they go home down 2-0. They get Kluber 2 more times if needed in this series. Much like facing the Giants before when MadBum was on you have to beat everyone else pretty much to win.

So good to know you get pleasure out of the dismay of others. Man, what is it with you folks hating on the Cubs and their fans. We've been waiting for this forever! Can't we have some fucking joy for once??

I believe in certain truths in life. The Cubs being the lovable losers is one of them. 95% of Cubs fans are great and despite my theory they should always be losers I hope get to see it. You would be part of that 95%. The other 5% though I hope die without seeing it. DF is part of that 5%.

I hope it goes 7. Rooting for Cleve for many reasons but the easiest is I am a fan of the Reds. Cubs are a division opponent and Indians share a spring training facility with Reds are related by proximity as well.

pitching is the Tribe's most obvious disadvantage....that, and the untimely return of the fucking stay puft marshmallow man

have I mentioned my absolute hatred for john "filed for divorce when my wife got breast cancer" lackey? even cubs fans know he's garbage but they're stuck with him.

Going to Chicago and spending the weekend with my brother and sister watching the cubs.
Lackey is not the best of men. No professional athlete is.

Did he Lackey really do that?

Who Princess

Yes, he really did.

I had no idea that he lived in my home town. He's selling his house though, if anybody's got a couple of million to spare:

He's like Samson, once his hair was cut, it was all over.

Lincecum had to work his way into this thread, didn't he?

Constant stress all game but wasnt too bad. Cleveland had the most threats.

Its awesome. Everyone, including me doubts this team every step of the way and they keep finding ways to win
