This could be possibly lights out for Joey & a pennant for the Tribe but he's still smack in da lead off spot despite havin abt 10 K's in last 20 at bats. Maybe Gibbons is a genius in disguise after all. After 1 1/2 innings no score
@globaljaybird You mean just an American League pennant for the Tribe, right? Once the Cubs clear the table of Dodgers the WS is theirs.
@globaljaybird The "goat" is on the spit and will be ready for the celebration. Wouldn't be surprised if Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse show up for the celebration.
@globaljaybird But as the Royals did so many times this year, it now looks like the Cubs have left their bats somewhere and can't remember where. I've felt the WS was theirs to lose with the team they have this year and it's beginning to look like they may find a way to lose it.
As much as I despise the Cubs, the playoff format hurts the deepest team in baseball, a team that cleared the rest of baseball by an amazing 8 games! Rest every few games means the Dodgers will be able to use Kershaw 3 times if it goes 7 games masking the lack of starting pitching depth in that squad. Meanwhile a five deep starting corp for the Cubs means only several of them pitch more than once in a 7 game series.
There's lots of things I don't like about MLB these days and switching from the day to day of the regular season to a postseason with many built in days off is one of them.
@wissoxfan83 JMO, but I've a quite similar issue with March Madness & the incessant tv timeouts aiding the much weaker teams & often shifting momentum of games to an inferior team. Guess if I rooted for an inferior team it might not be as unnerving - ya think ?:smiling_imp:
@approxinfinity Rumor is the Jays won't re sign Joey NO.BATS as he's a free agent & da Jays are OUTTA DA PLAYOFFS...yeeeaaahhh !!!
AL Central rules!!
@globaljaybird going to Houston?
@Crimsonorblue22 Ioey? Good riddance
@globaljaybird wow. That series is already over! Jays went out with a whimper. Congrats to Francona and crew for taking care of business!
Well some of the Cubs have found their bats. Now Rizzo needs to find his.
And Rizzo goes KA-BOOM!!
At this rate Dodger fans will be doing their famous 7th inning two-step tonight. Cubs 10-2 bottom 6th.
Yep, if the cameras would show it you'd see a stream of cars headed for the freeways. Mostly Cubs fans still in the stands.
@globaljaybird Regular season games you'd think games only go 7 innings there. Win, lose or draw they leave.
