Shit, that Lindor flip could have been an all time classic.

Frank Drebin 10-26-2016 10:12 PM

I mean, not as sexy as Dave Wadding doing a moonsault off the upper deck during the Arizona Fall League, but nothing will ever reach that level for me again.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-26-2016 10:16 PM

We all have our best moments. I'll take what I can get.

Yup. I'm still feeling good about my Cubs in 5 pick.

Homefield advantage generally doesn't mean much in baseball but Wrigley is going to be absolutely bonkers. The Cubs rattling off 3 wins and winning the whole thing on Sunday wouldn't be too big of a shock to me.

Lollllllllllllll Chicago Alderman

whiny little bitches

MLB announced they are going to review the Indians logo during this offseason due to growing complaints.

One reason is due to the club being split on keeping or dropping Chief Wahoo as a club logo. Management's been trying to push for "C" to be the only logo used but deferred to the players who voted for Chief Wahoo to be used during this playoffs.

What exactly is MLB going to review? Are they going to do polling if somebody is offended or not? What % of the gen pop could make MLB act on something that stupid? What % of real "Indians" need to be offended to address the change...

Well, there was some movement for the Redskins to change their name. Lost their trademarks and Trey Parker & Matt Stone took advantage of that.

The argument resurfaces once in a while. Braves usually take some heat, too. But they've been left alone lately.

Ruien 10-27-2016 07:58 PM

I can't wait for everyone to get up and arms over the Cowboys name in 5 years.

Droford 10-27-2016 08:14 PM

Redskins should move to Boise Idaho.
Indians should move to India.

Problems solved

Does the name itself even have any real negative associations?

At least in the Redskins case, the name itself used to be a slur against Native Americans. With the Indians, its usually their mascot getting the brunt of complaints because of it being seen as a negative stereotype.

Believe most of the complaints against the Braves is more due to the Tomahawk chop and chant their fans like to do than the name itself.

Ruien 10-28-2016 08:31 AM

I have complete faith with this world to find something negative to say about it.

I am offended at the name Patriots. It implies only people residing in New England love their country.

Carlos Santana leading off and playing LF for the Indians. First career start in LF.

Gutsy.

RP 10-28-2016 08:15 PM

Hendricks is a fucking beast with that pickoff move.

Droford 10-28-2016 10:50 PM

That should have been inside the parker

Ruien 10-28-2016 10:53 PM

Really feel this game will end 1-0.

Even if he ran hard from the start it's doubtful.

Ruien 10-28-2016 10:57 PM

Agreed. 90 more feet is a long way. He barely made it to third as it was.

Frank Drebin 10-28-2016 11:19 PM

Damn. Taking pitches over the heart of the plate, swinging at balls in the dirt.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-28-2016 11:34 PM

He's due

Evil Vito 10-28-2016 11:41 PM

Series is over if the Cubs win this. No team can recover from a loss like this.

Evil Vito 10-28-2016 11:41 PM

God dammit. Would have marked out for some Baez magic at the 11th hour.

Evil Vito 10-28-2016 11:42 PM

Still...only a 1-0 loss, Cubs bats I think will fare better seeing Kluber a second time. Tough lineup to hold down 2 nights in a row.

Emperor Smeat 10-28-2016 11:45 PM

Crazy how good Indians pitching and bullpen is this post season. 5 shut outs so far.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-29-2016 11:31 AM

gonna be a longgggg series.

Ruien 10-29-2016 11:55 AM

Yup. Game 1 Indians needed to win. Game 4 though Cubs need to win with Lackey pitching. Going to be an interesting game.
