Congrats Slinky and co.

Thank you, sir.

Those were some nail biting innings at the end there.

 

[Battlelyon]

Onto the Blue Jays

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

That was way too stressful

No shit.

 

[Nosferatu]

WOW, didn't see that comin'...

Congrats to the Indians and their fans, well, aside from Shane!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Second Toronto-Cleveland semifinal this year. Hopefully a different result.

 

[Bulletz]

No more Papi.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ortiz is a legend. Sad to see him go.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Here we come Shapiro. You wanted play the Indians...there ya go

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Ortiz is a legend. Sad to see him go.

I echo that.

A lot of you don't know this, but I was a pretty hardcore Red Sox fan in the early aughts until 2007, so he does have a special place with me.

Via con dios, amigo.

Cleveland once ended the career of Larry Legend- and now ends the career of Big Poppi.

Unbelievable series by the Tribe. Andrew Miller is just such a weapon to be able to deploy. Coco Crisp was a great deadline acquisition. Francona pushed all the right buttons. Unbelievable.

truly a team effort though. so many guys contributed in this series sweep. Now on to a red-hot Blue Jays team that will be a huge test. The Tribe has home field advantage which will hopefully help. Plenty of time for the pitching staff to rest.

I wonder what the Tribe's rotation will be during the ALCS- if they will go with a 4th- and if so will it be Clevinger.

Kluber will be available for a third, if needed.

I'm not even sure why I make mlb playoff predictions. It looks like a lot of superstition is getting kicked in the junk so far.

I think we could see a Kluber, Bauer and Tomlin 3 man rotation and like Slinky said then Kluber could start 1, 4, and 7 if needed

You haven't seen my little preview of what's to come for ya?

 

[Battlelyon]

Big Juicer, you will be missed

I did. So exciting!

The Blue Jays just raked against two teams that ranked 10th and 13th out of 15 American League teams in team ERA. They've got a strong offense, that's what they should do. Congratulations.

Conversely, the Indians just faced the Red Sox, who have a much better offense than the Blue Jays as evidenced by the fact that they scored 16% more runs during the regular season. The Indians held them to 2.3 runs per game. That wasn't supposed to happen.

The Indians also have a better offense than the Blue Jays.

I'm more afraid of the Blue Jays' pitching than I am their hitting.

Should be a good series.

Kluber is far better than any Rangers starter and the pitching for Texas had really struggled of late. It has been a tough stretch for the Rangers to end the season. That, and their offense has not been the greatest.

It should be a great series!
