So yesterday I wanted to get my oldest daughter (going to school at Indiana) a World Series hat (she is my Cubbies buddy).
Went to Dick's @ 8:30am....all hats were gone, as well as all of the adult t-shirts and sweatshirts.. Literally nothing left except youth sizes in the shirts. Looked like a Hoos' house after the Grinch blew through....
Whole area has gone completely nuts.... |

| I still can't understand why Kershaw, changed his windup on Saturday night, but I'm sure glad he did. Cubs hit him early, and often. They were in his head after that first double. |

I hope the Seahawks-Cardinals game isn't a Worlds Series preview. They had to call that game after 11 innings tied 6-6.
(The strangest football game I ever watched.)

| I can't watch Sunday night football, after watching the day games. I'm all footballed out by then. I did have the Seahawks with the points, so I was happy :-) |

One word: Miller.
Cleveland will take this. |

To mix the analogies again, down 3-0? No big deal. One field goal will send into overtime!

Well, kind of a crap start, but as long as they DNA split the first two games, they have done what they need to do to start the series. And when you load the bases with no outs and don't score a run? Well, you just don't deserve to win the game.
Kluber was filthy tonight... |

| What is it with pitchers whose last name begins with "K" Just wasn't their night last night, and hey anyone can win at home. Still plenty off ball to be played. We'll get them tonight. |

| That was the Lester, I remember pitching for the Sox. And what was with that no throw to first? He was killing me last night. |

I heard the pregame on the radio and the sports guy was saying Lester had a very poor throw to first and was very reluctant to do it. Also that he was a poor fielder. Apparently that 60' toss to the catcher is all that he does well and he chooses to do that and ignore all else. (He is pretty good at it.)

He doesn't have a poor throw to first base, he simply DOESN'T HAVE ONE. It is a complete mental block for him. Even when he fields a ball, he will either bounce it into first or Theo it underhand. He simply cannot throw the ball to first...
Why more teams don't exploit that, I have no idea...I'd be running all day on him. Of course, you gotta get on base, which ain't easy with Lester. |

OK...they did what they needed...split the first two games. Not particularly pretty and too many runners left on base, but I'll take it.
Coming home to Wrigley with a chance to close it out (although I don't expect that at all, but a boy can dream) |

| Yup, a W is a W, no matter how you get it. Take two back at Wrigley, and it should be a done deal going back to Cleveland. Baez, needs to lay off of that down and outside pitch. Just a base hit kid. |

That one hurt....going against a pitcher who has given up 36 hr's with the wind blowing out strong and the Cubs lineup? Gotta be a win right?
How the hell did they get blanked?
And Miller is OK to pitch tomorrow....so Kluber starts and then Miller comes in? Kinda feels like the Cubs are staring at 3-1, doesn't it? |
