Hey, looks like you're still well within reach to make the playoffs!
Yeah, they climbed up from the drenches just enough to let the astros finish us off.

Hmmm.
Looking at the Indians schedule, if Bauer -- who has been pitching very very well in his last several outings -- can hold his shit together in the Friday game, 2 of our very best pitchers follow him (Carrasco, Kluber). In that scenario, it is incredibly likely (at great respect to the Royals) that the Indians arrive in Los Angeles for the Angels series with a 25 game win streak and Clevenger on the mound who's been breathing fire and napalm.
If Clevenger does what he's been doing, the Indians really could get a shot at 27 straight, though with Bauer again on the mound (who while playing well is still a box of chocolates). And IF Bauer survives, Carrasco, Kluber and Clevenger are up again. While trying to pencil in wins is silly, 30 doesn't seem totally unrealistic right now. And they would have to go through 3 teams fighting to get into the playoffs to do it. Chasing the Dodgers for #1 overall seed in addition to 27, then 30 straight should certainly provide sufficient motivation for them to keep playing well and focused.
IF the Tribe wins tomorrow, the next week of baseball might be more special than it is even right now.
No matter what happens, I'm screen shotting everything every day until the ride ends.

Not many points scored in the two Jets@Bears games played over the past two days.

Looking at the upcoming schedule and pitching probables for the Indians, there's a damn good shot that this streak goes 25-30 games. It would likely require one of our starting pitchers who hasn't had a bad outing in weeks (months?) to have a bad outing...

I'm on the Twins bandwagon man. Buxton is a delight to watch
Corran Horn
May the Schwartz be with you
There was also a rumored new one coming out with Sheen being a pitching coach or some shit.
Go watch the first Major League, it's a fucking classic.

Berenger

Fuckin' Dennis Haysbert!

Line... don't do this lol
Never watched those sequels but Major League is a damn good movie
Here's hoping that your dreams stay dreams.
2 is okay, there's some good parts/lines, but the PG-13 rating ruins a bit of it.
3 is just.. why?

Man-I am really nervous about this series.
This series? 11 of the next 13 is eventually round 1 of the playoffs.
Dont see how that could really be the case unless they get swept.
2 was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Which, I guess says something about it, but it still holds a place for me. It certainly isn't as good as the first, but that's hard to top for a baseball movie anyway.
Speaking of baseball movies, Little Big League never got near the credit it deserves.
Even then they have another 4 games with the Cubs so its still possible even if they get swept by the Cubs.
He is. Watching Mauer take at bats like he used to and seeing the kids all clutch up is a joy. I've spent all year trying not to get too hopeful but fuck it I'm all in now.
They'll probably lose the next six in a row but hey.
Right. Although if the Cards were to get swept, I wouldn't really hold hope for the division, but the Wild Card could still be reasonably in play. But if we get swept and the Rockies sweep, we may effectively be out of the playoffs, if not technically. So that's the only way I could see the Cards' season being decided this weekend.

Turns out scoring 7 runs in an inning does a lot to quell the sports rage from the previous bad call
Insufficient evidence and admission of guilt. They thought they could get a shared amount of fines with the Yankees, ha...
