OT- Anbody Still Watching Baseball-ALCS and NLCS

[Knight Shift]

Cleveland up 3-1 in ALCS.
Dodgers-Cubs series is 1-1 with LA up 4-0 in seventh. Arieta gave up 4 runs.
Justin Turner hit a solo home run. Where was this home run power when he played for the Mets?

Side note--Joe Buck is announcing the game. He seems to have toned it down quite a bit. He usually is annoying, but just realized he was one of the announcers.

I'm pulling for the Indians,as the last time that they won the Series-1948-was the year of the greatest election upset.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Not really.

 

[ArminRU]

Baseball is a horrible sport.

Baseball is a horrible sport.

To you, and yes others. Many still enjoy it.

Rooting for the Indians or Blue Jays over either NL team. Dodgers over the Cubs in the NLCS.

Indians and Cubs.
I wanna see Miller and Chapman in game seven..... late innings.

 

[oldtimer67]

The Cubs are learning there is another closer in the NL who is not named Chapman.

It does not do you any good to have a closer if you don't go to the 9th inning with the lead.

Thanks, Capt. Obvious..
BTW, the guy is a free agent at the end of the season.

I'm hoping for Cubs-Indians in the WS. One of them has to win, so some fans will be relieved of their misery.

 

[rutger80]

Like to see Cubs-Indians also. 1908 vs 1948. I won't get too upset if any of the 4 win it all.

 

[RU_Planning]

If you dislike the Red Sox then an Indians Cubs WS is where it's at.

 

[Rokodesh]

Thought Rich Hill was going to give up some early runs to the Cubs but held it together and they beat up on Arrieta. Won't be so easy for the Cubs

 

[LevaosLectures]

The ratings for the playoffs have been excellent. Cubs fever.

 

[LevaosLectures]

"Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Cubs and Dodgers dominated Sunday’s cable rankings with a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49 and 7.29 million viewers. Both figures more than doubled the closest competition."

Obviously baseball takes a back seat to the NFL (like everything), but these are good numbers for non network programming.

Love seeing the Cubs bats go silent and their team get humbled. Hopefully the Dodgers finish them off and send their fans into another winter of snowy misery.

Great signing of Jason Heyward by the way. $184M / 8 year contract and the dude is stinking it up in year one already.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I'd like to see Miller or Chapman win it, or even Turner because I know that would bother mets fans.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Starting to look like last year for the Cubs. Blanked 2 straight games in the NLCS? Yikes.

 

[Knight Shift]

Your issues run pretty deep if that is your thinking. But whatever makes you happy. You left out R.A. Dickey. I'm happy for Justin Turner-- he's near home, as he was raised in California.

 

[MulletCork]

As a Mets fan, I couldn't give 2 craps if Justin Turner gets a ring or not.

If his team wins, great for him. If they don't, so be it. Why would anyone care either way about a dude who was a role player going on to find nice success for himself after the team let him leave? He is a hard worker and if he gets a ring, it's well deserved.

It certainly wouldn't bother me guy.

 

[zappaa]

Cubs have to win tonight.
Go Cubbies

 

[RUsince52]

Cubs-Indians for nostalgia, but Jays-Dodgers for good weather.
Indians almost seemed destined. Next in line: the Browns !

 

[newwavedave1]

As a lifelong Dodger fan, I'm pretty pumped. If they don't advance I'll be rooting for the Cubs.

 

[Akron Buck]

Considering I am a tribe fan, yeah I have watched every inning.

 

[e5fdny]

Me too.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

I can't explain why but for some reason I find myself pulling for the Dodgers over the Cubs, even though I can't stand Utley. Indians for the title would be my preference.

 

[herdof3]

No. Used to love baseball.

 

[RUonBrain]

Cubs over Indians

How could a Rutgers fan not like that?

Go Cubbies!

I hope this is the BEST year Heyward has in the remainder of his career.

The way he treated the Cards who salvaged the petulant punk....he deserves to be around the Mendoza line until he retires.
