Dodger Stadium organist playing the hell out of PIB between the 2nd and 3rd innings!
Whoever is playing is really going for it and obviously a fan! This game is 'On Topic'
or at least 'stones related.'
It's a fine song to be playing for close to 60,000 on a beautiful warm evening apparently.

Dodgers take 3 to 0 lead bottom of 4th. That was a longg home run.
Home team crowd goes wild.
Another good game all around so far.
Top of 5th coming up.

from what I saw of the Indians, they have been on fire this year.

Blue Jays ran out of steam, unfortunately. Congrats Cleveland.

Cleveland were a better team than the Blue Jays and deserved to win

MAN!!!... Mid-Late October MLB is intense... esp when one picks a side.

And it is odd, some of the crowd noise tonight sounds like this game is being played in Chicago. Cheering at weird times.

...and the Cubbies lead the series 3 games to 2 over the Dodgers

Exciting game tonight, but Dodgers come up short after a promising 9th inning

Da Cubs are one win from going back to the Championship Series since 1945

Gm 6 Sat, Oct 22 8:00 PM Dodgers @ Cubs Kershaw (12-4) at Hendricks (16-8)
Gm 7* Sun, Oct 23 8:00 PM Dodgers @ Cubs TBD at TBD

As I was saying, Let's Go Indians!

Saturday night is alright alright... here is hoping for some good Stones scopes and a Dodger Victory

The last game 6 the Cubs were in was the infamous Steve Bartman incident, who I don't blame at all! Others around him were also trying to catch the ball. Cubs just choked in that series against Florida.
Hopefully 2016 is a different story.

Looking like it is going to be a C & C Championship series.

At least the damn Dodgers are going home for the season!

Congrats Cubbies! Four more wins to go!

*if needed

Go Tribe ><

The Indians...how racist is that? Just kidding...GO CUBBIES!!!

It's amazing what new ownership can do for a team's fortunes. Bringing in good managers/coaches and signing good free agents! Similar situation with the Blackhawks when Bill Wirtz passed away and son Rocky took over.
From what I read online, nobody in Chicago likes the McCaskey family and want them to sell the Bears! Maybe that's what it will take to get them competitive again.

I am glad the Dodgers lost. When the Giants get into the NLCS, they win, then go on to win the World Series.

Kershaw is no Madison Bumgarner.

OK, so I decided to flip a coin to see who I should root for... Heads = Cubs, Tails = Cleveland...



I lost the coin under my desk before I could check the outcome.


Hope y'all enjoy the series. Apparently fate doesn't even care enough for me to root for any one team over the other so I guess I'm officially apathetic!


Peace,
Mr DJA

I think the Cubs picked the wrong year to make it back to the Championship series. The Indian are too good this year, and in sports it is not how good your team is, it is mainly how good are the other teams.

But I could be wrong... and that is why they play the games and why I will be watching. I cant think of anything else I would rather do tonight than settle in, have a few beers and watch the opening game of the final MLB series of the year. WAHOO!!

WAHOO INDEED!!! Here we go!

I cant think of anything I would rather be doing right now than sipping this cold beer and getting ready to watch game one tonight!! I love de beseball'

I love GAME ONE!!!... I remember that one time just as game one was getting under way and the camera starting shaking, as if the camera man was having a seizure, but it turned out it was just an earthquake and the camera man was fine, but they had to stop the game for the night.. it was weird. I still remember Al Michaels calling that... Good ole Al.. I sure wish he was calling this game. I am not a fan of whatshisnamecommontater.


so anyway!! here we go!! WAHOO!!!

The Indian have looked pretty good this year...

7:00 PM WS Gm 2 Cubs @ Indians Arrieta (18-8) at Bauer (12-8)


Note- the game starts an hour early as they hope to beat the rain coming in.
I really respect that choice. It is smart. Smarter than most leagues usually are

The only down side is it starts on a weird cable channel then switches to OTA TV


-----------------------------

CLEVELAND - The start time for Wednesday’s Game 2 has been moved up one hour - to 7:08 p.m. ET - due to expected rain in the Cleveland area, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday night.

The chance of rain in Cleveland increases from 20% during the day Wednesday to 80% later Wednesday evening. Up to one-quarter of an inch is expected along with the system.

Despite the potential rain, MLB plans to "start on time."

MLB reiterated that Game 2 can not be rain-shortened and it has to be played to completion. If rain suspends the game, it will continue on Thursday.

When Indians manager Terry Francona was told of the time change on Tuesday, he didn't mind the change.

"Shoot, it just means we start an hour earlier. We can handle that," he said. "I don't care what time they tell us to play. I'm sure they have good reason. If it's supposed to rain late, I don't really have a reaction. I'm going to be here anyway by 10 (a.m.) So it doesn't really matter."

The World Series has not had a game postponed by rain since 2011, when the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers saw Game 7 of that series delayed a day in St. Louis.

Go Cleveland!

Carlos Santana is playing for Cleveland

Series 1 to 1. Had to edit/correct my first post here; It was incorrect.
DGA35 set me straight below and I edited and corrected.
A travel day then Game 3 in Chicago. And in London that same Friday, Bill Wyman will be hitting for the home team.

First game Chicago 6, Cleveland 0.
Second game Chicago 5, Cleveland 1. 18 innings of ball Cleveland gets 1 run.
Meanwhile Chicago seems to almost hit by will, goes through Cleveland pitchers hitting & scoring early & often?

Uh Hopkins, Cleveland beat my Cubbies 6-0 in game 1.
