Well ... okay, no comment.

 

Missed the beginning of the game, just turned it on to see the AL is up 1-0. Keep it up, Clevelands. (I don't care if it appears PC, I avoid referring to them by their nickname.)

The Cubbies are trying to ruin our plans of having Falvey start on Tuesday... sigh.

 

On a positive note, I'd like to watch another game or 2 before the season goes radio silent.

Lester is an easy guy to cheer for as he's a guy who will be on Twitter tonight praising Ross for his game plan and the hitters for their support if he wins, and he'll be the first to accept the blame when he doesn't pitch his best (he had a great tweet after game 1).

 

Getting Bryant going is not something the Indians wanted to come out of this game, though.

What's Lester going to do next season without Ross? Once again making up for all of his yips.

It's kind of mind blowing that Baez's dominant hand is left yet he can still throw a ball 90+ MPH with his right.

 

Ever try throwing a ball with your non-dominant hand? That's not normal to do it so well...

Hell, I struggle tossing the remote control across the living room with my non dominant hand.

Well, that's good. Cleveland can win at home for their fans.

good game. a frightening number of elite and soon-to-be elite players on these two teams.

I routinely hit 35mph on the gun with my right hand.
