I completely disagree with your "take" on the pitching that you posted in the Cubs thread. I would have responded over there, but some people go crazy if I dare praise the opposition. Tomlin was amazing; Hendicks was so-so.....his WHIP was 2+

LET'S GO TRIBE!!!!!!

Tomlin was good but he wasn't that great. The Cubs and their selfish, impatient swinging made him look great. It's a motif with Cubs hitters this season: make mediocre pitchers looks like 5-time Cy Young Award winners. They can't stop swinging for the damn fence when all they need is a single.

It all comes down to Francona being a better manager than Maddon. Tito's teams are always focused & disciplined.

Good win Tribe. Looking forward to seeing you beat the horse face/over sized teeth/turd head John Lackey tonight!

Hey, Rob! Good stuff!

Wobbie

joe maddon is kinda cool....the ultimate "silver lining" guy.

that said......fuck yes! Tribe!

it ain't over, but it's close. cubs will be around for years....young and relatively cheap.

WHIP = walks + hits per inning. Thank you, often.

These guys are just out playing the Cubs every which way. Really enjoying this WS.

Out-playing and out-managing. I hope we get a win tonight. At least send it back to Cleveland and make it look like we made effort. Sadly I think Lester gets rattled early and the Tribe will be celebrating on our turf.

At least they are above this and Dan Snyder!

Gotta say it, Wob, I want to see a game 7. But then I want every WS to go to seven!

So now Cleveland can win it at home.

This is awesome. So long as it wasn't the team selling just released seats, that is.

If this is a season ticket holder who laughingly said "I am going to put my tickets on StubHub for $10,900 each and see if somewhere, there is someone crazy enough to buy them" and now has $43,600 in their pockets to watch the game with......I just think that is awesome.

I fully expect many to be pissed at this - but that is just not the way I see it. I see it as a free market play. Someone is paying a year of their kids' college off with this. (Well, guess that depends where they go to school...a big piece of a year anyway.)

Someone, presumably a Cubs fan, just dropped $43,600 + fees on StubHub for 4 seats in Cleveland tomorrow in front row by Cubs on-deck circle

F Me In The Brain

And....if I am rich as shit and a big Cubs fan? I would have no issue dropping that money on front row seats @ World Series game.

Crazy what people are willing to pay. 2 friends of mine have 4 cubs season tickets....they don't even like baseball so it's a straight up investment. They sold 4 seats to last night's game for $21K! They sold them when the series was tied 1-1 and it was a potential clinching game for the Cubs. Both of them are building up their kids' college funds big time and will prob continue to do it for a few years here because the Cubs are going to be good for many years to come. I'm just pissed they didn't ask me if I wanted in on the tickets!

bump for America's Team.

Wrong team, but the logos are alike.

I think, outside of the core, the Indians are the sentimental favorite....they don't feature a domestic abuser or a "divorced my wife when she got breast cancer" guy
