Tie ballgame!

There's the drama.

 

There are some choices Maddon made that are coming back to bite him.

Wow. I even said to my wife "might be best just to let Lester finish this inning".

 

Hindsight and all.

 

counting chickens.

 

Nah, either way, they were advertising the parade route in town before game 5. That's just not right, and they've ended up in game 7.

 

Definitely remember Progressive Field looking like a ghost town when the Twins were in town. Though that may say more about who the opponent was....

 

Yeah, when we were there for our honeymoon, the park was full, but it was also Tigers/Indians, and at the time, they were fighting for first place.

Over before midnight? over-under...

 

Damn, game 7 madness! This gonna be cruel for one fasnbase.

OMG, now it's raining

Meanwhile, Joe Buck tries to add to the tension with stats like this:

 

"We just witnessed the first home run hit in the eighth inning of a game, by a Cleveland Indian, in Game 7, by a man named Rajai, whose favorite food is tacos, while the temperature is 49 degrees"

 

Just....save it Joe.  If you have to add that many damn caveats it's no longer something that adds to it.

That's a lot of rain.

Pouring rain. Leadoff walk in the 9th.

Heyward has been on a redemption path since game 5...

hey look, it's raining.  They expected rain at 11:15 P.M.

Dammit, just give us our head of baseball operations already!

Not saying they do, but if the Cubs do take the lead, do you go back to Chapman for the 9th?

You went to Cleveland for your honeymoon, and watched baseball?
Does your wife have any single sisters?

They got about a half hour, looking at the weather radar, then it gets really wet in Cleveland. Drama!

Wow. That's terrible.

 

Edit: NVM. Geez. Thought they were going to call out Heyward!

We went on a trip that included 10 games in 10 parks as part of multiple other visits, including Niagara Falls, Cooperstown, NYC for multiple nights, DC, Philly, and the NFL HOF. Got to see Scherzer's near-perfecto in person as part of our honeymoon.

Guessing is's an hour or more, then it could cause an hour delay if the game isn't over by then.  (please somebody score)

An extended rain delay would be a cruel joke for all who's watching.

And the wheels are falling off for Cleveland...

AAA must've provided some good road-side assistance.

Interesting you waited until now to join in...

LOL! Get Coco the F out of there! May be a throw needed!

 

Have to admit that I had hoped that Crisp would be tasked with an important throw at some point.

Just now checking in to the thread; haven't read the posts. No matter the outcome Maddon is going to be criticized for pitching Chapman in game 6.

Interesting you waited until now to join in...

Honestly, I haven't even been watching consistently. But you know how it goes ... it ain't over til it's over

Glad they did! It was getting pretty boring in the middle innings.

W.T.F.

Not many shortstops make that play on Fowler.  Wow.
