Watching the Cubs is like watching last year's Royals. After Dodgers tie the game 3 all in the top of the 8th, with 2 outs bottom of the 8th and bases loaded, backup catcher pinch hits for pitcher and with 2 strikes parks the ball in RF bleachers. Next hitter gets a solo shot. To the top of the 9th it's Cubs 8-3.
@Crimsonorblue22 So did the team !!
@globaljaybird no Kershaw tears.... Yet.
zzzzzzzz
@approxinfinity Nah, but Joey Bats is sure cryin a river over a "rigged playoff". LOL!! Ya think he might give some credit where its due, but alas, a campaign comment from a guy too wrapped up in himself to even think of an original sound bite.
@globaljaybird it wouldn't be the first time a professional team in Cleveland won a rigged post season game this year :grinning:
@approxinfinity Today I read that Joey is a blistering Ofer his last 14 with 8 K's - Yep, it's gotta be the umps... Hopefully they keep up their amazing consistency again tonight .
And I lost my friggin power about an hour ago so I'm Ofer the damn game with the blackout right now.GGGRRRRRRR....
Right on Time, Joey whiffs for da 9th time with a duck on. At the end of one its Tribe 1-0.
Check that- only 2 outs...
That finger was gross! Who thought that would work?
Joey must have a hat on da bat... Cause it damn sure ain't da umps. He's so unfamiliar with being on base even a walk is a celebration...@approxinfinity And we thought Dusty flubbed then the Jays mgr has Joey no bats hittin lead off tonite after goin ofer 14 with 8 friggin K's. That guy is OUT THERE! WAY OUT...
It's Miller Time coming up for the Tribe in da 8th ... Jays may be down for da count after tonite... And the AL Central may be winning their 3rd straight pennant with home field advantage again in the WS this year. ROYALS STILL CHAMPS for another week to 10 days so if it ain't us next year then it needs to be the team that took us down... Go Tribe ... If you finish the business now It's ours again in 2017 !!
Miller with the nasty slider now one out away from taking a 3-0 lead in the series and yes, it is done... Jays.are too far back to.succeed now & it's a wrap...Thank Heavens the Royals were correct to get rid of Joey NO bats years ago & cut their losses early... Toronto just wasn't that sharp.
@globaljaybird haha. well they paid him a lot, I guess they gotta put him somewhere. Doesn't matter they're toast at this point. Now if the cubbies can put away the other team of hired guns....
@brooksmd I once heard Larry Bird say that in a 7 game series, he always felt like game 5 is the most pivotal. Lester now in bottom of 5th tied with Dodgers at 1 a piece. LA now counters with Blanton who gave up Morenos grand salami the other night. Wonder what he's got for the encore ?! More meat & taters ?! Yep, dang sure as we speak it's Russell again with another 2 run tater...Go Cubbies Go !!
Cubbies wit da chance to pound some nails. 2 on - no outs , for Habanero Chapman to finish...
@globaljaybird Would like to see Fowler add to it.
@globaljaybird Cubbies utilizing LA screw ups.
@globaljaybird Bryant with one of his famous tape measure shots would be nice now. But a little dribbler ok also.
@Crimsonorblue22Man I wish he'd stayed. I hate that its always the highest bidder in most pro sports even worse in baseball with no cap.
@globaljaybird This is gonna be a 4 hr game. Absolutely ridiculous.
@globaljaybird I know he stayed at 2nd but hope Baez ok.
@globaljaybird Yep, cabinet full here too.
@globaljaybird Fans leaving.
@globaljaybird Habnero Chapman. I like that. Come up with it all by yourself?
Game, set, match upcoming in Chitown ...
@globaljaybird With 12 pitchers he doesn't put up with much.
@globaljaybird Habnero little off his game tonite. Not bringing much heat. But got the job done. Wrap this up in 6 at Wrigley.
@brooksmd @Crimsonorblue22 Here's the link to MLB esurance awards to vote for players, managers, pitchers, & executives in many different categories Dyson is up for def play OY & video clearly shows why.....WOW!
@globaljaybird Forgot about that play. What amazed me was he did it in an away game in an unfamiliar ballpark. He took his last look at the wall about 4 strides from it.
