Not a Cleveland fan. Watching the game with interest and looking at reactions from both fan bases. There couldn't be a more delusional bunch here. The Indians have been a machine throughout playoffs, methodically hitting HR after HR and winning without necessarily dominating. Their bullpen has shutdown everybody and did the same with you tonight. Lester was hit and he is your best. Obviously, the Indians have peaked at the right time and are looking the MUCH more likely side to take the series.

Yeah, Lester got rocked. That RBI single by Perez was a bullet.

Yeah those great teams that the mistake by the lake faced up to this point have been pure buzzsaws. We're the better team. Period. We ate up Kershaw and we made good contact with Miller too. Just some really stupid AB's tonight and some pretty terrible umping that was incredibly favorable to the mistake by the lake. We are the best team in baseball and it's not even close.

Now that you figured that out Mr. Wizard go to the Packers board and tell them what AR's problem is and stay there.

Good luck tomorrow. I came into tonight's matchup with doubt as to the legitimity of these Indian bats (shouldnt have). They are legit. They will get their 1-3 HRs against anyone. The team that peaks at right time often wins. Sorry, I don't think it is going to be your year. Indians probably take this in 5.

That's fine. We're the team that's built for the long haul. America's trailer park can enjoy their moment in the sun right now because we're still young and we are not the Cubs of yesteryear. They probably don't have a single player in their lineup that is a more talented player than anyone in our infield. They won a game. Big deal. They also got incredibly generous calls at the plate in the early stages of the game.

Your posts that you've got it figured out after this game pretty much cements the fact that you know dick. You are an idiot and have never watched any playoffs in any sport if you think your opinion is relevant judging a 7 game series after 1 game. It's obvious you are just here to troll.

they haven't just won a game. They have destroyed teams with significant hitting power. Outright destroyed them.

It's one game, with a favorable matchup tomorrow, seeing and working Miller, a horrible zone most of the game, and poor calls by Maddon. We can and should do better moving forward.

I can tell by your first post here that you are non bias and wasnt looking for a reaction from anyone.

Actually, slightly biased. Had $ on Cubs. Didn't think Lester would give up 3 runs in any way, soft or otherwise. Thought Cubs would hit 1-2 long balls. 6-0 is reflective of the fact that indians continue to find ways to hit homeruns off anyone. And with only 3 pitchers shut down the Cubs. Today's game is similar to what they have done during these playoffs. They are for real and i find much misplaced optimism in this thread. That's all.

So, you found much misplaced optimism on a forum rooting for there team in the World Series? Hey, I will be glad to take your bets.

You needed your ACE to get rocked to become cautiously pessimistic?

Flo, you suck at trolling.

A "neutral fan" who just visits team siites, but not until the Tribe has a 6-0 9th inning lead (as you knew the 3-0 lead wasn't safe).

A "neutral fan" who just happens to watch Cleveland regularly.

Enjoy the win. Congrats. You're up 1-0. Get your seat for the parade.

The thing is that's not all. Your narrative about how Cleveland blah blah is fine... it's a 7 game series. Cubs down vs Giants and LA were you watching?

"Only three pitchers"? Cleveland only has three. And one of them got a LOT of work.

These forums can be very good source of info. I found this one thread particularly delusional in what was a shutdown in a game your Ace gave up 3 runs.

K, have you ever made love to a man?
