Kluber will need to pitch a shutout with this beyond-shitty offense. They may score 1 run. Maybe.
Napoli: worthless
Naquin: less than worthless
Davis: Worthless
Capt Popout Santana: worthless
Perez: 1 game good, then worthless
Chiz: worthless
Ramirez: gets meaningless hits, none clutch
The only starter consistently good has been Lindor. Kipnis a distant second. The rest have sucked goat-balls.

Watch Kluber pitch 9 shutout innings but also the Indians score zero runs and then lose in extra. That would be such an Indians ending

I lead, you follow.
Really wanted to see Chapman pitch until his arm fell off.
Well... no shit boys, here we are. On the cusp of becoming Golden State.
We need the Klubog and Miller show to be the best its ever been tomorrow on top of our (middle) lineup digging deep for miracle at bats. It seems like when the runs start we can pour them on, but when we need the
clutch hits of late - nobody is there to provide them.
Going all in, 97' cry like I'm 10 years old Mike Hargrove style for this. The Tribe was all we had when the Brownies left town. You think the Cavs winning was special? Pull this off and the city might explode.

Can the offense have one fucking good game? Is that too much to ask? Score some runs, Kluber is good enough, WS Championship. So, why do I feel like that won't happen?

Not that it matter but really stupid base running there trying to stretch that into a double

I'd be shocked if they win tomorrow. It doesn't matter whos pitching when the offense has little to no momentum and the defense is a circus. Plus the Cubs bats are alive as they've been all series now. Not a good way to enter game 7.

I wonder if the Cubs will send gifts to Naquin and Chisenhall I firmly believe those 2 bozos letting that ball drop was the single event that ended this series. All downhill from there.

Well I was 12 years old the last time the Indians played game 7 in 97. I always followed the Buckeyes growing up but not like the tribe. The Indians were my team and I followed them literally for 162 games a year and prayed to God just like those grown adults do in Chicago for this series that we would win that 97 series.
I thought he Indians would be back much sooner then this but the 07' series against Boston dashed that hope when we blew a 3 to 1 lead.
Now here we are having blown another 3 to 1 lead (thanks lebron) and I cannot help but hope we some how pull this out.
For the Cubs? They're young, they spend the cash, they're built like a damn American League team with power. They'll be here again soon regardleas.
The Indians? This is it. We won't lock up our best talent and we will watch Kluber go to Detroit or hell even the Cubs when it comes time to sign players such as him. Not only will we probably not be back anytime soon we probably won't win the AL Central either.
So here we go... for everything. For having lost our last game 7, for having no future, and for watching the JAKE go back to drawing 10k a game on a good night next year. It's now or never.
I've enjoyed the ride but only because it's good to see the JAKE full and Cleveland care about its team again. We can do it and if we do it'll be the biggest victory I've ever witnessed in any sport our bucks included.
The good thing tribe fans? There is no tomorrow for us as I've said the future isn't great. Also having been through nothing but failure in regards to the Indians we are already on rock bottom.

I fully expect Kluber to pitch well enough to win. Its just up to the offense and defense which is a scary proposition. I guess we can hope Hendricks hangs a few and they connect but that sadly seems best case for the offense right now.

How fervently did I hope the outcome of these games would wash away the persistently lingering taste that '97 left in my mouth?
That World Series coincided with one of the darkest, most oppressive periods in my family's life. That entire autumn had been an unending onslaught that seemed to be part of a world-wide wave of destruction and negativity. Within days of our personal horror story beginning, Princess Diana was killed in that horrific crash in Paris. Later that week, Mother Teresa died. Grace and compassion were being obliterated from the earth, privately and internationally.
And then, glory of glories, the lowly little Cleveland Indians had miraculously found themselves in the World Series. And they were winning games!
Something wonderful was unfolding! And then those final innings of game 7 happened.
I have echoes in my memory from that time of my daughter's voice. They are simple statements, but the sorrow and loss that resonate through them are unfathomable. "Diana died." And, when the game tied in the 9th, "I'm going to bed." Nothing special in those words, except for the despondent resignation to defeat that her tone conveyed.
There is no way to express how much it would have meant to see that team win on that October night...how much it would have meant to have something go right in the world. Instead, it was just more of the same.
Thankfully, both our personal lives in this 2016 autumn are galactically better than we would have dared imagine back then.
But, that foul taste in my mouth? Yeah. Still shitty.
