Well game 7 here we come.

Not counting chickens, but I hope so. Game 7 will be epic. Considering taking Thursday off of work.

It would be a great game. Would love it if Francona started Miller.

He is definitely not the pitcher he has been but I still think if given the choice most would pick him over Tomlin. Arrieta beats Tomlin in almost every traditional and sabr stat.

Really happy the Cubs fans got to see one win at home and they didn't have to see Cleveland celebrate.

Tomorrow night will be interesting, you would take Arrieta over Tomlin most days but I feel like Tomlin keeps performing when no one expects him too.

I hate Thanksgiving.

Real hip buddy, hating on a 400 year old holiday.


Be contemporary. How do you feel about Record Store Day?

I suppose maybe I do need to modernize my hates, maybe Free Comic Book day?

Super disappointed that I will have to miss the Baltimore show because of work. Just another reason I hate Thanksgiving.

Went to the local art house theater and saw Psycho. After all the times I have seen it that movie still gets me. Stating the obvious but he made some of the best movies ever and it still blows me away how good they are every time I watch one.

Great game 3 and odd game 4. I really thought the Cubs were going to do it this year but they have dug a historic hole. Still think at some point the talent on that team will win one but not this year. Cleveland is on an amazing run.

Also still shocked they scored a run on Miller. Thought for sure his streak would last this series.

I really hope Cleveland can pull this off. They played like absolute shit last night.  Certainly not a team of hitters.

So far we have had two "tip your cap" games. I think the series really rests on who scores first. Cleveland doesn't have to starters or long men to hold a team down but once they get a lead they will be tough. It's a tough ask though, that Cubs team is good.

There's a guy revamping DeLorean. He bought all the old stock and some of the molds for fenders, doors, etc. I can't recall the original engine manufacturer -- DeLorean bought his engines from a third party -- put plenty of dogs to be had with DeLorean. They didn't actually go very fast; some came with straight sixes.

I often wonder if the habit from the 60s and 70s of outsourcing engines would come back.  Seems like if someone made a good engine, ala ford cosworth for race cars,  it would be a cheaper alternative. Plus it's basically free money for the manufacturer.

Kluber was nasty last night. Gotta tip the cap on that one.

He was crazy good, hit his spots and then expanded the zone. I think last night was the first time I have watched the tactic of running on Lester get into his head. Lindor owned him from the first lead he took.

Strangely happy they moved the game forward tonight. Sucks for non east coasters but early to bed is always better.

Must have slipped under my radar but these are two great bands. Hope the D.C. show works out.

Hey ward was been awful offensively all year.  He's above average defensively but an automatic out. 

Still have Cubs in 6....not sure if Cle's rotation can match up with Chicago besides Kluber

I just don't think Kluber can go every three days and be effective. The rest of the rotation has to step up and there the Cubs have a huge advantage. I think over the series the Cubs talent superiority will show.

Francona is going to micro-manage the Cubs to sleep from the looks of it.  Can't believe people thought this guy stunk as a manager when he was in Boston.

His moves and stifling of offense with his bullpen use will lead to some rule changes in the coming years. I am betting we will see a limit on the size of the bullpen and limit on pitching changes per inning.

It's been pretty incredible to watch Miller pitch, I knew he was good but he may be putting on one of the all time great post season runs.

The Scwarber move shocks me. All the bats they have and they bring him in. Contreras has been hitting well, not sure why they need someone else.

And I agree they will say anything right now but they really would trade it all for the Browns to just not suck.
