Frank seems to be mad how casual of a baseball fan I am. :(

Hell, I still don't know his name.

Wish someone would tell John Smoltz that the word is "height", not "heighth".

Why can't Lester throw to first base? Does he just not like to do it or does he have some prior injury that prevents it?

yah. He's got the yips throwing there. Cubs are aware of it. One of the reasons David Ross has 6 pickoffs this year.

Nobody bunts/steals anymore so this quip of Lester's hasn't been overexposed as much as you'd think. Indians can do both of those though as we saw in the 1st.

Feels like that is the first legit run of the game.

Wonder if Miller and Chapman had a convo with each other talking about how happy they were traded this year.

Maddon with another "cute" decision with coghlan.

this game is over

Lol at the Indians center fielder missing the double play.

Damn. That was insane.

christ Miller is ridiculous

damn

David Ross had the chance to put himself in the lead for 2016 World Series MVP to go along with his 1908 World Series MVP award.

SWUNG ON AND MISSED!! sucka

http://www.tpwwforums.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Wish Miller had been this good during his time with the Red Sox.

Most of the time he was either injured or very inconsistent for quality.

They probably would have kept him if they knew he'd stay consistently good afterwards or Sox pitching not being as bad as it was making him more valuable for trades.

Seems like the Cubs did a lot of homework on Miller.

Really think the Indians need this game much more than the Cubs too.

This ump is on the cubs side and their still losing how embarrassing sucka's

Correct. Cubs have a much better rotation even with Arrieta at 75%. Lose this game and you're down 1-0 looking to Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin to stop the bleeding. While both of those guys have certain positives going for them, that's not something to hang your hat on.

Also, I would have gone lester, Lackey, Hendricks, Arrieta if I were Maddon. I don't trust Arrieta right now.

Leading up to this, it felt like the cubs are just happy to be here which is extremely disappointing considering they won 103 games. They partied like they won it all when they won the pennant.

Ball game, maggle.

Gene Tenace was the first player to hit homeruns in his first two WS AB and won the WS MVP in 72 but otherwise he's An outlier on that list too

fuck you ugly ass bitch yo momma a hoe and deepthroats me while you watch and clean it with your toungue you ccunt

Another lineup without Heyward. At least it's Soler.

Go CUBBIES!!!!!!!

Schwarber what a story.

Joe Buck might wind up performing fellatio on Schwarber before the series is over.

Not sure I'd blame him.

Trying to imagine a Joe Buck and Joe Morgan commentary team for this.

I'd leave Arrieta in the game for 150 pitches if it means a no hitter.

Should I wear my Andre Dawson Road Expos Jersey or Mark Grace traditional home pinstripes to game 5?

Probably Cubs gear, right?

This is why the Indians needed to win game 1.

Was just gonna say those who said as much were spot fucking on. Their rotation after Kluber is lacking and you can't rely on long relief dominance from your bullpen every night.

Smoltz making a point about Arrieta being in the dugout twice as long than on the mound. I feel like that eliminates pitch countv fatigue. He's just cruising and getting a nice long break to catch his breath.

I can stop holding my breath now.

Of course I mention that and Arrieta runs outta gas. Oh well. Strong performance.

Drebin still :heart: u DR2

Drebin, you handsome bastard.
