Kluber showed why he is probably the best pitcher in the AL and really limited the damage even though he didn't have his best stuff. 

Hey it is better than Dave Burba on 3 days rest right?

I'm not sure who they'd start if not Kluber.  The only other starter who is healthy is Tomlin, and he pitched game two.  Their options were Kluber on three days rest or Tomlin on two.  And they need to give Kluber as much rest as possible for Game Seven (God forbid).  They're really hoping for the sweep so everyone can get rest.  Playoffs are tough with only two starters.

Go Tribe!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!  Speak of your pitching issues all you want.  Toronto didn't win that game, Indians gave it up.

I like A-Rod as an analyst, brings really thoughtful insight.

I agree with what he just said, the Cubs philosophy of take/see as many pitches is backfiring on them in the postseason. Except for Bryant and Baez, no one else is in attack mode. Even most of their outs tonight were weak groundouts. Be interesting to see how they go into facing Urias tomorrow night.

Should be very interesting. Urias has been very very good for the last two months and Roberts used him very carefully so he would have something left at the end of the season.

I get the feeling that Urias will cure what ails the Cubs.  They will be in attack mode.  My son is a big Indians fan (drove from Delaware to Cleveland to watch game 2 - $108 for standing room tickets with some buddies). 

My Red Sox were killed by my Yankee fan brother.  The Sox had won 11 in a row when we went in for an operation (he donated a kidney to me so despite being a Yankee fan he is a great guy).  After the transplant, the Sox went 1-8 and were swept from the playoffs.

If they're in attack mode they might be in trouble.  Walks get Urias in trouble.  He had 8 Ks the last time he faced the Cubs in 6 innings.  The kid is really good, but also really young.  It will be fun to see how he performs under this pressure, but a lot of pressure is off of him with a 2-1 series lead vs. a 1-2 series deficit.

I'm so excited that Toronto gave the Tribe another one!  That's seven gifts for the Tribe.  Here's hoping the NL champs will be in a giving mood.

No.

Its more that Lebron has always been a panderer and a fan of Cleveland when its convenient.  Played up how he was from Akron, not Cleveland, and didn't like Cleveland people growing up when he left for Miami.  But then it was "coming home".  He's a Cowboys and Yankees fan, but loudly reps the Browns and the Indians when convenient.

I also doubt Sultan was beating his chest and peppering social media with euphoric Cubs posts.

You're exactly right. But it's not worth the time.

I'm cool with Lebron rooting for the Indians.  The Marlins already have two titles.   :P

Anyone else think the Cavs would not be so publicly supportive of the Indians games if they hadn't just won the championship?  Since they are the team that broke Cleveland's championship drought, it is safe to publicly root for the Indians now.  I'd bet they wanted to be the ones to break the drought, and would not have wanted the Indians to win if they hadn't first.  Just my two cents.

I've seen some pretty silly condemnations of LeBron. This may be the silliest yet.

But, as far as I am concerned the Indians didn't win anyway. I don't accept the results.
