I hope you enjoyed that win Mrs. @mjp28! 

As Clase was finishing the ninth, I know I was thinking of Mike. 

GO GUARDIANS!

Great game, I could just hear Mike shouting"bring in the closer!" njp25.

Your husband seemed a decent man, I enjoyed my conversations with him.  I know he appreciated that win over Detroit last night. 

God bless. 

For sure and Im waiting for Saturdays game.

Thank you all for your condolences on Mjp's passing and the beautiful fall arrangement. I know how much he loved the board and was getting new tailgate recipes ready.I will be watching the "Indians" for him.

Steve Kwan comes back from the Injury List, hits a homer in his first at bat... then with the game tied at 2 in the 8th, Jose Ramirez hits a three run bomb to put the G's up 5-2... then Clase walks two and gives up a single to load the bases with no outs in the top of the 9th, only to get the next three out without giving up a run for the win! 

One question Dutch  ....  who writes this stuff ?     Pure Hollywood !     What an amazing game.

SO ... what do the  GUARDIANS  end up with  92, 93, 94  -or-  95 wins ?

AND  ...  how close does  CLASE  get to  50  saves.   Should be a  fun  finish.

︎----------︎

I'm now hoping to go home  THUR 9/26 ... I hope.   We'll see.

CLE  vs  CIN  -  Game 2.

CLE 2    CIN 2  going to the bottom of the 8th.   Keep the  Ws going.

The weather ?    WED  9/25/24   2:54 pm.

Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on Thursday, but in the meantime, heavy rains and damaging winds are expected to hit parts of the Southeast, including Atlanta — home of this week's vital MLB series featuring the Braves and New York Mets.

■  The Braves and Mets are battling for NL wild-card spots and are scheduled to finish their three-game series on Thursday night. Atlanta took the first game on Tuesday 5-1. It's unclear if they will be able to play the final two games with a poor forecast.

As of Wednesday, the Mets hold one of the three NL wild-card spots, while the Braves sit a half-game out of a playoff spot.

■  MLB has not announced a contingency plan, with the regular season set to finish Sunday afternoon and AL and NL wild-card series scheduled to begin on Tuesday. Should the Braves-Mets series be affected, the only current open day is Monday, one day before the postseason begins.

The Mets are away at Milwaukee on Friday through Sunday, while the Braves are set to host ● Kansas City over the weekend

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency on Monday, two days before Helene was upgraded to a hurricane. Hurricane Helene is expected to be a Category 3 storm when it makes landfall, bringing winds over 110 mph, as well as "life-threatening storm surge, damaging winds and flooding rains to a large portion of Florida and the southeastern United States," according to the National Hurricane Center.

Watson has the second worst QBR in the season, I’ll take my chances with Winston or DTR to see if they can top it.

Hey bedward ... nice to see you it   MUST   be the real   BROWNS   football season again.

Will our  2024  BROWNS  have these  (  / )  questions  -and/or-  issues this year ?   Yes or No ?   Maybe ?

Who can clinch next?

The Orioles, Padres and Astros have at least a 99% chance of reaching the postseason, according to FanGraphs. The ● Royals, Diamondbacks, ● Tigers and Mets have the postseason in sight but still have a ways to go to get there.

The Dodgers, Astros and Yankees are positioned to win their divisions, assuming their current leads hold. The Phillies, Dodgers and Yankees are in line to earn byes through the wild-card round.

What's up next ?   The  GUARDIANS  have made us    proud of them with playoff baseball.

Who has clinched a spot in the playoffs?

On Friday, the Phillies clinched their third straight trip to the playoffs with a 12-2 demolishing of the Mets. They secured the NL East title with a 6-2 win over the Cubs on Monday. They're competing with the Dodgers for the NL's No. 1 seed.

■  On Thursday, the  ︎ Guardians clinched their ticket to October with 3-2 walk-off victory against the Twins. ︎ Cleveland secured the AL Central title on Saturday, and with Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Reds, they ★ secured the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the American League, meaning they  have a BYE   through the wild-card round and  with their  MLB best home record  will also  host the an  ALDS.  ■

Also Thursday, the Dodgers clinched their 12th straight postseason appearance with a 20-4 (yes, 20-4) victory over the Marlins. Ohtani delivered an absolutely historic performance to seal the first 50-50 season in MLB history. The Dodgers have not yet secured the NL West title or their postseason seed.

The Brewers clinched the NL Central title on Wednesday but have not yet clinched their playoff seed. The Chicago Cubs' 5-3 defeat to the Oakland A's secured the division for the Brewers.

● Also Wednesday, the Yankees clinched the AL's first postseason spot with their 2-1 victory over the Mariners in extra innings. The Yankees have not yet secured the AL East title or their postseason seed. ●

Just caught up with this - sorry to hear - a friends' daughter had a hip inffection and serious damage, took years for it to be fixed and healed with another surgery.

  I have two bionic knees now. After my second one, my surgeon asked if I had any questions - I asked "how soon can I go back and play football in high school?". The nurse said she'd never seen him laugh like that.

   I hope they can give you a bionic hip and fix all that. Fighting all those years - just wait til you get it all fixed. You will surely be so freaking grateful. Prayers that comes true soon.

Thanks Cal,   ♡   I appreciate that.    mjp.

-OFF DAYS-   MON 23   &  THUR  25.   The  2024  Season ends next  SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 29.

It's been fun.

This is my   4th   hospital this year of  2024   and by far the   hardest   of all of them.

I've been in the hospital   every year  for the past.  11 years   now.    All similar hip & infection related.

Thank you all.  ︎   mjp.

I didn’t see a bright and shiny post about this so here it is. A pretty comfortable clinching too. Still a week of the season left. 

Go Tribe!

Well said indeed !

Here's to the   2024 Season   and the   2024 Manager of the Year.    Good job following the previous "BEST EVER" manager.

OH  YES !     ... Another  AL Central  Pennant in Cleveland.

WELL DONE  MANAGER VOGT   -AND-  HIS TEAM.   I've really    enjoyed  ....  this 2024 Season  ....  from the very beginning to now.

NOW IT'S PLAYOFF TIME  ... And go get 'em !       - GO TRIBE ! -

I have a high opinion of Hamilton, and you may be right now that Marty Brenneman has retired, haha. Marty got pretty crotchety in his old age so Hamilton’s probably had the edge the better part of the last decade. 

We   INDIANS / GUARDIANS  / BROWNS / CAVS  fans have had some great  radio & TV  announcers for a long time.

SO  we should look aread & look back at those great moments.
