...to Cleveland, no less
Only happened 15 time, the last one was 2004 Boston Red Sox and Patriots.
Edit: I think it happened in 2009 as well though, so google can fuck off.

seven pitches, lol.
LA kings and LA galaxy were the two major league sport titles in 2014
Steelers and Penguins in 09
Boston did, no?
Yesterday the Indians made like 3 base running errors and a couple defensive errors. Still managed a win. Sometimes you just have to hit.

ahh had to work the evening and missed the game until now.
Kluber look pretty good? Did Lonnie do anything embarrassing today?

Of course they do. Indians have been a solid team all season long yet they ranked 28th in attendance. The bandwagon got full once the postseason started.

Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title and Los Angeles Extreme won the XFL title in 2001.

The Indians don't draw at home for some reason, but they consistently have amongst the best TV ratings all season long in the MLB.
And some of the highest television ratings. Yeah, I wish more people went down to the games, but I rarely do so I can't really say anything.
gud man

Holy crap on the second thing
I think the Patriots and Red Sox did
Lakers and Angels both won in 02 although the Angels were still called the "Anaheim Angels" then

Kluber - Great, Lonnie - actually drove in a run on a sac fly and no defensive gaffes yet.
And the UFC heavyweight title, Mickey Mouse title as it is.
Crazy considering they sold out 455 consecutive games at one point.
Maybe this will get fans back out to the park.
They've outplayed the Cubs, even without the favorable calls/bounces (that might have flipped one of the 1-0 games).

Yep, I feel when the D'Backs won, half of the aftermath was NY lost and some other team beat them.
Lake Erie Monsters won (renamed Cleveland Monsters)
BUT, before them, Stipe Miocic won the UFC Heavy weight belt.
Wife's parents has season tickets to the Monsters, so we go to a lot of games. They had a great year. Excellent puck movement.

I don't consider anyone a real fan unless you have 5000+ posts in the MLB thread.

Had a blast at the Ballpark this year. Tickets were very reasonable too.
No matter the outcome of this series, I expect Tickets to shoot way up.

And prefer mustard. Ketchup lovers are dead to me.
That was mainly due to how good the Yankees had been. They were going for a 4th straight title

He's probably the best out of the bullpen. But then you have Allen and Otero, two of their other top relief pitchers. Shaw had an up and down year, but he's generally pretty great. The rest of their relief pitchers are fine, but kind of whatever/inning and job specific.
As for starters, Kluber, Carrasco, Salazar, Tomlin, Bauer. If you don't recognize some of those names, that's understandable since their number 2 and 3 starters got hurt last month. I've personally been a huge fan of Tomlin for years and feel he can be a number 2, but he's had a lot of injuries and isn't a power guy. Salazar spits hot fire but is still young and I don't know if he can do 200 innings yet.
Good call.
