It has been a lot of fun watching the Tribe this year. No one player has been doing it and this has been a true team effort. The starting pitching has been lights out! Plus they are hot at the right time. They can hang with anyone and it could be our year. The Tigers? We're due to beat them too!

im sick to my stomach.....

Way to go Tribe...you won 10 straight to get there...and in typical fashion...you shit a big fat goose egg...thanks for the fucking tease...

That's the way you scatter 9 hits and get nothing out of it.

Highlight of the game, Bases loaded, one out and Cabrera rolls over on a 1-0 count after Rayburn draws the walk in front of him and gets doubled up... Seriously Cabrera? My damn JV players know better than that....

Then Swish walks up with guys on 2nd and 3rd and swings out of his shoes 3 times and takes a seat....

Come on guys.... awful baseball

It was disappointing but who the hell thought they would get this far this year? Not me.

As long as they don't let Jimenez go to the yankees i'm definitely making my way back up there next season more often. If they let him go, then it shows they're still trying to be the go to farm team for the big market boys and that this season was just a pleasant fluke

I honestly called them making the playoffs in Spring training. F*ucking heartbreaking.
