Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Halloween, Monday Oct. 31. Whichever long-suffering fan base gets to celebrate this year, somebody's party will take place on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. The Cubs assured that by taking a 3-2 victory in game 5, keeping themselves in the mix. They still trail 3 games to 2, but with ...
Not So Fast, Indians Fans
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Sunday, Oct. 30. Yes, the Indians have a 3 games to 1 lead now on the Cubs following their 7-2 demolition of the North Siders last night. I have no idea what people in Cleveland do when they plan a celebration for a victory that hasn't happened since ...
Hitting 300; Right Ingredients, Wrong Result as Tribe Wins Game 3
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Saturday, Oct. 29. First and foremost, this is my 300th edition of this blog. I want to thank each and every one of you who read it, comment on it and generally want to make me keep writing. In the postseason, while there will be fewer blog ...
Cubs Tie Series and Everything’s Jake!
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Thursday, Oct. 27. If the park in Cleveland were still Jacobs Field (as it should be) I could say "everything's Jake at the Jake on the Lake," like an old fifties DJ talking about a "platter that matters," or a "golden goodie great from the grooveyard." That ...
Kluber Leaves Cubs Clueless; 6–0 Indians Win Opens Series
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, Oct. 26. This World Series certainly had a different opening than the last one the Cubs played in 1945. In that World Series the Cubs beat the Tigers 9-0 in game 1. 71 years later, the Indians' ace Corey Kluber befuddled the Cubs and the Tribe ...
Fall Classic Starts Tonight; A Look Back at a Classic Game
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Tuesday, Oct. 25. The World Series starts tonight in Cleveland as the Cubs face the Indians. Both teams have their pitching staff in order. In fact, the Indians had a much longer wait while the Cubs took 6 games to dispose of the Dodgers. Because the Indians won ...
At Long Last, Cubs World Series Bound; This is How Long
Hi all. This is how I see baseball on this Sunday, Oct. 23. It shouldn't be too surprising that this post took a while to appear. The Cubs haven't appeared in a World Series in a while--71 years to be precise. Since you probably watched the game, I'll get to it in a moment after mentioning ...
Cubs Russell Up a Win in game 5, One Win Away from the World Series
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Friday, Oct. 21. For the second night in a row, Addison Russell led the charge as the Cubs beat the Dodgers. This time it was an 8-4 win putting the Cubs ahead 3 games to 2, a win away from the World Series. Dodgers' starter Kenta Maeda pitched ...
Jays Still on Code Blue, but their Hopes have some Merritt; Cubs down 2 games to 1
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, Oct. 19. The Indians didn't manage to sweep the Jays yesterday, and have given the Canadian team hope because of their battered rotation. With Carlos Carrasco done for the year, Danny Salazar at best exiled until the World Series and Trevor Bauer gone by his own hand, ...
Blue Jays One Loss Away from a Participation Trophy; Both Series Continue Later Today
Hi all. Here's how I see baseball on this Tuesday, Oct. 18. After their demolition of the Rangers, I expected more out of the Blue Jays than they have shown in 3 straight losses to the Indians. Last night, even with the Tribe starter removed pouring blood from an injured finger in the very first inning the Jays ...
