So do you think Joe Buck will stop talking about Kershaw now?

Talk about a man crush.

So is Charlie Sheen going to come out of the bullpen while "Wild Thing" is blaring over the PA to throw the first pitch or what

Haven't. Not super big on waiting for food. Did go to Lockdown on Western near Augusta. My sis lives right there. Was fun. Seems like they lifted their whole concept from Kuma's.

Will be looking for a ride to Cleveland between games 5 and 6 if necessary.

KJS, there's a few Ohio St. bars that might be Cleveland friendly. Just look for the OSU flags

Good tip. I saw one near Steakbar when I went there after my sister's wedding recently.

You have no idea how he'll do, but he is going to be a great asset in the lineup.

Having a vet like Schwarber 8n the lineup makes all the difference in the world.

Would they start him in game 1 though? I would think they'd go with Contreras at DH

If he's really ready, I'd go with Contreras in left and Zobrist in right. Heyward shouldn't see action except as a defensive replacement at this point.

If he's on roster as your DH, why not have him as game 1?

As a diehard Indians fan for most of my life over the last two days, I think it's clear Tribe got this in 4.

Tribe beat writer tweeting that Carlos Santana is taking fly balls in left. This cannot end well, despite my desire to somehow keep him and Napoli in the lineup every day.

He can't be worse than Toles.

I'm not a Cubs fan but it seems like Contreras is pretty good too. Of course I'd rather have him catch but teams like the personal catcher thing. Maybe they'd play him in left and bench Heyward but I'd guess they'd stick with Heyward.

I'm guessing

CF Fowler
3B Bryant
1B Rizzo
LF Zobrist
2B Baez
DH Contreras
SS Russell
RF Heyward
C Ross

Bill Buckner-esque defense, but still a good post nonetheless.

If you're fine with giving a bloke a handy, just hit up any bar near Wrigley and you'll have a place to stay for the night.

If you're gonna make gay jokes (pro tip: just don't), at least for the love of god make them clever.

plus honestly confused where the jokes are even coming from

you're thinking of boystown, which is very clearly not part of wrigleyville

The "world's largest gay bar" joke has been around forever, it's a relic from an era when that was considered funny.

Shockingly, Texas humor seems to still be 20 years behind.
