Miller is a beast out there. Wish the Sox would have held on to him. In Boston dude couldn't throw a strike.

Is that you???

No. But how I wish I had that same picture with my Dad only wearing a Konerko jersey and one of Paulie's home run balls from the '05 run.

Pictures like this remind me why baseball will always be my favorite.

Incredible run so far. Hopefully Kline can close it out today and then we can find a couple starters for the World Series.

Maybe he's just a really old fan.

Alright what does everything think about starting Kluber today?

I was for it before the game, and can't be against it now, really. I don't think Kluber on full rest was going to be so much better than Kluber on short rest that scoring 1 run on 2 hits would have been enough to win. Offense needs to pick it up.

I also want to avoid the worst-case scenario, which imo is Game 7 and no Kluber. Whether or not you are supposed to plan for a Game 7 when you are up 3-0 is a matter of debate among the fans.

Of course I'm picturing a choke job though...

Not to worry............

NAFTA requires that all MLB teams involved in a series with a Canadian team outsource at least one win to Canada. Now that we've fulfilled our statutory trade obligation..........

I still have nightmares of 2007 when we choked away a 3-1 lead. In that series, we knew we were in trouble when CC got beat in game 5. I am envisioning the same thing now. We literally have no pitchers left. Merritt is starting game 5. That is almost a guaranteed loss. Then it's Tomlin in game 6 and Kluber again on short rest. I am actually really worried.

For the record, by my count out of the 33 MLB 7-game series since 04 (LCS+WS) 8 teams have been up 3-0 at one point (until now 8-0 in Game 4).
