YOUR 2016 Cleveland Indians Thread (American League CHAMPS!)

[Jake]

And that rant is the most memorable thing about Elia's entire managing career.

To be fair, the year after that rant the Cubs won the division and were a game away from the World Series...then they remembered they're the Cubs.

Just an FYI-
My dad turned down the offer from my brother-in-law (his son in law) Cubs fan to watch the game.

He hasn't seen the Indians win in his lifetime. Taking it pretty seriously.

Do it, Boys!

Like the hundred-year-old lady in the pregame video said, we're not getting any younger.

The Cubs will have to find a 140 year old woman for their pregame video.

The Cubs will have to find a 140 year old woman for their pregame video.

Depending on how these games go, I may age to 140 by the end.

Thats the scene that got me lol


GO TRIBE.

personally when I look at the Cubs line up I'm not as nervous as I was the blue jays

The biggest difference between the Cubs and Jays is in the pitching department.

It's odd that the one game Cleveland lost to Toronto was an L for Kluber. I don't think they can win this one if he takes an L, but let's see what happens.

One game at a time.

I was damn glad to see that. The stupid Dodgers kept dancing around even though Lester hasn't thrown to first for months. Looks like the Indians aren't going to do that chicken shit.

Turned two singles into 2 runs. Good start.

That two seam fastball is filthy.

Looks like KluBot is engaged to kill tonight! Love it!

Where's Bartman when you need him.

Holy shit, Kluber is putting on a clinic these first few innings!

 

[LostLassie]

I love seeing history made.

8 K in 3: never before.

Francona was wise not to challenge. I'm not sure they actually tagged Lindor but the call was "out" and it's not definitive that they missed him. Call would've stood.

That's okay. Keep running on Lester. Odds remain in Cleveland's favor.
