Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Indians:

• Danny Salazar had a very nice September, striking out 33 in 25 innings while producing a 2.52 ERA
  
• The Indians are the 6th team (first since the 1971 O's) to end the season on a 10 game winning streak
  
• Terry Francona's 90+ win season with the Indians marks the 7th time he's achieved this feat in his career, putting him tied with retiring Davey Johnson for 2nd most among active managers, one behind the Reds' Dusty Baker.
  

 

Rays:

• Evan Longoria was real hot in the last 5 games of the year. He went 11/17 with 7 homers, which set a record for most homers in the last 5 games of the season.
  
• The Rays have a club-record 17 shutouts this season (4 of them coming in the last 18 games) which makes them the first team to have back-to-back 15 shutout seasons in the AL since the 1989 & 1990 Oakland A's.
  
• James Loney has set a club record with his MLB leading .351 away average during the regular season.

f*** the Rays

 

Go Tribe!

[Angrioter]

I'll be cheering for the Tribe, but would bet heavily on the Rays. I think Cobb is going to spin a gem.

[GD]

Fatcow are you on drugs or are the white sox actually playing in this game lol

[BlueJayWay]

Cleveland won their last 10 regular season games to get to this point. Would be tough to lose now.

[BlueJayWay]

lotta towel wavers in Cleveland

[TheHurl]

Cobb the only non-Dominican pitching in the wild card...we all know that Dominicans can't pitch when it matters though. Rays with 6 runs by the 5th. CRFC lives!

[Abomination]

I'll take Cleveland 4-3 in extras.

Racist. Liriano threw a gem.

[GD]

Cobb is going to rape. I'm calling a rout in favour of Tampa. 8-2 final.

 

lol k

 

Danny Salazar lel

[TheHurl]

If the umps strike zone is going to be that big...I'll change that prediction

[TheHurl]

Racist. Liriano threw a gem.

 

He had no pressure he was facing another Dominican

[GD]

It's Danny Salazar Night in America, boys.

[Angrioter]

KKK for Salazar

 

Aaron Sanchez FB+CV >>>>>> Salazar FB+SL

Come on AA, let the kid pitch like a man.

[bzapple]

Oh god, not the Delmon Young show again.

 

I'm expecting miltstar to pop up any second now.

[TheHurl]

Money Delmon

[Angrioter]

AA mind

Adam Lind + Delmon Young platoon = Big Papi

 

 

 

f*** not Alex, no

[bzapple]

Every time I see Yan Gomes I can't help but laugh about how he was referred to as "JPA-lite".

[TheHurl]

Hard to believe that Salazar twice was left exposed to the Rule 5.

[BlueJayWay]

ooh boy

[TheHurl]

DJ rockin the house

 

CRFC!

[bzapple]

Wait...why are they walking Delmon Young? With two outs in the 4th?

[G-Snarls]

Dammit Maddon thinks deeply on these things doesn't he?

[Abomination]

Dammit Maddon thinks deeply on these things doesn't he?

 

That was rather interesting.

[Convo]

Safe!

[bzapple]

That some fantastic range by Zobrist. I'm not sure even the great Ryan Goins could've gotten to that ball.
