All Things MLB

Hehe, that post was made going into the top of the ninth.

Spoke too soon.

I was driving into Boston to pick up my parents at the airport at midnight and missed what was apparently an amazing finish. Who flies at midnight? Come on!

Also an obligatory comment about David Ortiz. My favorite professional athlete of all time has officially ended his career. It was an extremely disappointing finish, getting swept in 3 games, but the 13 years before that were extraordinary. I bought tickets to a game last month just see him play one last time and he homered. I'll never forget that.

Will the Cubs win the world series?!!?!?!?!?!

I'm not a Cubs fan, but I'm rooting for them.

#104

Come on, Cubs! Knock those Dodgers out.

#105

Javier Baez is all alone on Planet Baseball right now.

If the Cubs can't win it all, then it looks like Cleveland's year will get even better. I think Cleveland residents are numb to the Browns' mishaps by now. Scoring championships in baseball, basketball, and hockey would be pretty nice for them.

#107

A part of me is relieved the Sox are done. I was probably gonna end up rooting for the Cubs all the way through this year. But yeah, Cleveland is looking way better than I imagined they would. Andrew Miller is a cheat code and the offense always seems to put across just enough runs. Plus they've got Terry Francona working for them. I like both AL teams but I can't root for anyone against Chicago.

#108

Cubs/Indians would be a great World Series.

#109

Since the Mets crashed & burned (but what a glorious crash & burn it was!!) I am rooting for the Cubs. They are always my first fallback after the Mets & Mariners (the Mariners are the only American League team I can abide; I have seen more Mariners games live than any team).

GO CUBBIES!!

#110

Why the Mariners, S~V~S? Just curious.

#111

They were my local team for years when I lived in NW Montana, "only" 10 hours drive away ha ha. Closest Major League ballpark. Every year they have home series against the Yankees, and my husband was all Yankees. So we went every year. I got used to rooting for them to beat the Yankees

So we also started going occasionally for Interleague series since I am all National League.

Plus Seattle is my favorite American city, so there's that.

Oh okay, that makes sense!

I need to find a second ball team. I just have the Reds, and I won't be able to root them on in the playoffs for quite some time I think.

Rooting against the Yankees is always the right thing to do. The irrational hatred for that organization is strong with me

#114

I do not like the Dodgers but Clayton Kershaw is absolutely incredible. Here's to hoping this post jinxes him.

#115

Cleveland might finish the year with more pro sports' championships than the Browns will finish with wins.

I believe the Cavs already accomplished this on their own.

#117

The Red Sox fan in me misses Jon Lester, but the baseball fan in me is glad the Cubs have him right now.

#118

It looks like the goat will still have the last say.

#119

The Cubs have the advantage in the pitching matchup in each of the next two games, and then it would hypothetically be Kluber going for the third time in the series in Game 7 against a better-rested Kyle Hendricks. I like those odds for the Cubbies!

#120

Pretty fun baseball things going on.

#121

Much warning track tease

#122

I think this is the best Game 7 we could have asked for.

#123

I didn't like that intentional walk.

Cubbies with another lead.

#124

I am hyperventilating.

Baseball has always been my favorite sport and this game is making me question how anyone can feel otherwise.

#126

Baseball has never been my favorite sport but this game is Shakespearean in quality.

#127

My love of baseball is dependent upon the performance of the Reds.

#fairweather

#128

Carl Edwards Jr. This dude is a twig with 45 career Major League innings pitched and he's coming into save the World Series for the Cubs.

Sounds like a NASCAR name

#131

One out away! I can't sit down.

#132

#133

Good Lord- do the Cubs have any pitchers left?

#134

#135

Well that was fun.

#136

Okay, going to collapse now. If it weren't for the fact that I have to run payroll tomorrow (today, really), I'd consider calling off. :P

That was worth staying up for!

Absolutely!

Woo! :yay:

I just read a couple of articles that said the rain delay helped chicago regroup and go on to win.

That makes sense to me. It's hard to say what would have happened otherwise though.

#144

I watched 6 innings of Game 6, but couldn't watch the decider, because early school in the morning.

Thats too bad. I think it was the best sporting event - most significant and most exciting - that I've ever seen. I can't think of an event to beat it.

It was pretty awesome. It probably ranks third or so for me. The only events I can think of that definitely beat it are Federer v. Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon finals and Federer v. Roddick in the finals of 2009 Wimbledon, but I'm a tennis guy (and Federer fanboy).

MP beat me to it, but I can think of an entire sport that can beat it, on average.

Yes!

No!

The 2004 ALCS is going to be forever unbeatable for me, but last night's game was by far the most amazing sporting event I've watched as a neutral observer.

I'd put it up there with the Super Bowl XLII (2007) when the Giants shocked the world and beat the undefeated and unstoppable Patriots. That was a heck of a game too.

But the Cubs coming back from down 3 games to 1, that was something special.

Rick Porcello is the AL Cy Young award winner. That is not something I ever expected to be able to say.
