I am strangely confident about tonight. My thought before Game 3 was that it would be very unlikely to go 0-2 in the first two games in LA and I still believe that. Tonight's winner takes the series.

I'm the same way. If we get the bats back on track tonight and win, you've gotta feel good about getting game 5 with Lester on the mound tomorrow. And if we go back to Wrigley up 3-2, obviously love our chances to finish off one of those two games.

Cleveland is going to the World Series.

They've got a very similar team dynamic as last year's Royals.

And here we go!

Yet another game with no offense... (as of the 4th inning).

Woot! Some offense! Hopefully it's contagious.

Make it a crooked number.

That had to feel A-MAZE-ING for Addison!

They scored 4 runs literally right after I posted this. [emoji1]

And Rizzo busts out.

I'm experiencing vicarious catharsis.

Hoppy2105 · Oct 19, 2016

I'm guessing Russel and Rizzo each had a smoke after their home runs.

Now, take that little blue pill they keep advertising between innings and do it again!

Contreras was the catalyst. Need that kids energy in there on all days that aren't Lester starts.

Have to think he gets a start in the OF tomorrow with Ross catching. Same lineup other than those changes.

EDIT: In the OF for Heyward that is.

That exchange between Riizzo and Angel Hernandez was unreal. My favorite athlete as a person since Payton.

champaignchris · Oct 19, 2016

That group of 10 players who were 16/160 in the playoffs coming into the game just went 10/26.

Such a great, human moment.

Didn't hear the audio until now. Pretty awesome.

IanKEvans2 · Oct 20, 2016

Baffled as to why Contreras isn't in the OF tonight for Heyward, but there's nothing I can do about it so...

Give 'em hell, Lester!

Hoppy2105 · Oct 20, 2016

Baez just got screwed with the strike zone on his first at bat. That suuuuucks.

It's hard to single out any one guy when so many are underperforming, but Russell looks the most lost of the lost right now. Might be a good time to give him a day off.

Why kind of idiot would even say something like this?!?! He's our All Star shortstop. Have a little faith.

I think the umps' strike zones this series have been all over the place. Tonight might be the worse so far.

Haha, if you can't laugh at yourself...

Lester looking great tonight. Hoping for some insurance runs, 1 more inning from Lester, and Chapman for a 6 out save.

A few insurance runs, Ian!

Straighten up here, Stropy.
