Can you believe the looks of this lineup, this late in the game, in such an important game??!?!?! If Francona makes it through this game on the plus side, he truly will be the master planner!

I would like to see the Indians win a WS in my lifetime.

What can I say! Are we really God's team......a Team of Destiny?!?!?

GREAT job by Cody tonight!!
We are guaranteed another game in Cleveland!

I think the pressure is all on the Cubbies now.

So would I JR. I've said that often. This isn't the team of the 90's. This is a no-name team with a lot of guts and a lot of chemistry. I guess you can call us GRINDERS. We just have to keep chipping away. It's the Tribe against the World. If we stay focused, John Lackey can be had. I like the match up tomorrow.

We are guaranteed another game in Cleveland!

Oh ye of little faith.

Oh, and here we have a 1-0 game that took 3.5 hours to play. All this talk about speeding up the game is total bullshit. As long as they can sell advertising, the game can last as long as a Test Cricket match for all they care.

You think the Cubs will lose the next 2??

No idea. But another Tribe loss is not guaranteed!

All the pressure will be on John Lackey. Lackey has one big weakness that can be exploited. He lets his emotions get in the way of his concentration. We have to pounce on the opportunities when they present themselves. Lackey in particularly gets frustrated with the strike zone when the calls aren't going his way. Lackey is the opposite of Kluber and I think Lackey is the key to the game tomorrow.

I'd rather see them clinch at home!

I think Francona set the tone in Toronto JR. He's ready to run the table and I think that's the way he's going to play it Saturday and Sunday. I have no problem at all clinching in Chicago

Tribe in five.

Keep throwing those breaking balls.

Man, I much preferred the 6-0 win variety. I'll take 'Em any way I can get 'Em but not sure my heart can take many like tonight!
