What the hell was Chapman doing pitching at the end of that game?

That's a very unMaddon like thing to do. He may pay for it in game 7.

I was thinking the same thing.  What's left in his tank tonight?

umm.. he was probably thinking his bullpens sucks other than Chapman and he wanted to make it to a game 7?

also thinking that he can use all his other starters instead of said bullpen tonight.....

There was enough of a run cushion to try and get a W with your pen first and save Chapman for game 7.

I don't disagree, I'm just guessing that was what Madden was thinking....

I kind of want both teams to win.. but I probably wan the Cubs more...just cause its been so long for them and I had a phenomenal time when I went to a game there... the whole area around Wrigley was just great.. a friend of mine used to live there so I used to go often...

I'm rooting for the Indians, mostly for Terry Francona, who I never thought got enough credit for the Red Sox success in 2004 and 2007.... a win tonight would change that....

yeah.. that is the reason I'd be happy if the Indians won..Terry Francona...if it wasn't for that I'd be all in for the Cubs..

there's a great picture of him in the Indians dugout when he was a little kid and his dad played for the Indians!

I want something awesome and dramatic that we will talk about forever.  Think Buckner, Bartman, Joe Carter/Willie Stargell, Kirby Puckett, Don Larsen, 1929 A's comeback over the Cubs - something memorable.

One of the best drunks to ever play the game.  And there's some good competition for that honor....

Cubs strike first... quick...

[vansmack]

Just got a message that Cubs swooped in on Fowler.  Can't confirm.

Looks like a good move.

The World Cup, The Olympics, the Thrilla in Manilla, Wrestllemania, hello?

I highly doubt anyone outside the US cares about this. Except maybe the Canadians, who just want to bitch about the Indians name.
