I hate when people say “he plays the game the right way”.

Meaningless.

Robertson career is solid against the Tribe:

.553 OPS against
1.99 ERA
1.011 WHIP
13.1 K/9

he's only given up 1 HR to the Indians in his career (126 PA against), 2 seasons back to Chris Johnson (now with the Orioles?)

That was beautiful.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Wonder if he ever jokingly says OVERRULED! to ump after a called strike

yeah, he was. and he seemed to be getting stronger/better with each AB. thought maybe Tito might try to ride Miller for 1 more inning, pushing him north of 50 pitches...cuz it's the playoffs. No doubt the right move to pull Miller too early rather than too late in this game, where you can throw everyone out there as needed.

Gardener used to be fast. He's Major League 2 version of Willy Mays Hayes now

2nd AB in a row Judge went down on dubious calls. Last AB it was way low, esp for the 6'7" or whatever he is Judge. I didn't see his first 2 AB, both strikeouts as well.

yeah, didn't the Yanks pass on Carl Crawford when Crawford hit free agency b/c they figured they had a guy matching Crawford's defense and speed in Gardner? White guys with wheels don't age well.

So... you get parole or what?

Austin Jackson used to have a sort half bunt, running half-swing thing he'd do to get on base in crucial situations. Dunno if he still has the wheels for it. This was after he replaced Curtis Granderson in CF in the Tigers lineup. A good Chicago athlete, Granderson. UIC alum.

relapsed in late july/early August. finally decided i needed to do the detox/withdrawal thing again starting last Thursday or Friday. Detoxing off of H is easier the 2nd (or 3rd? fuck if I can remember) time around.

Now I feel like a dick. Glad you're doing well, though. Always good to have you here.

cool, ha, no worries. i've no qualms talking about it. i mean, really, fuck qualms, who needs em. actually looking at rotating back to Chicago or maybe Nashvegas or somewhere out west--basically, any city where I don't have H connections. Unfortunately, I bought a fucking house or two when I moved back, so I have to sell it/them before I move, I think. Being a landlord sucks enough when it's the same city, remote landlord ain't no fun.

Francona gonna PH for urshela to lead off the bottom of the 8th? Or tell urshela to step into one and get the free pass.

Maybe going all out to win 27 of 28 or whatever the Indians did wasn't the best plan to be fresh for the post-season. That and shooting all those 25 footers.

Tribe hitters can't put anything in play against Chapman.

Kind of fun to see other teams celebrate HRs in games that they lost.

Chapman can still bring it.

Well best of luck on the whole damned thing. You've got the full support of the CFMB which ... ... well, come to think of it, that's probably a big reason to consider another relapse ... never mind, forget what I said about the board .... just go with the 'good luck' part at the top and skip the rest. Yeah, that works. Okay, good talk.

Kluber went 8+ innings in 5 of his last 10 starts in completely meaningless games

I'm pretty sure you can find it where ever you go if you truly wanted it. I'm not saying you do, but if someone wants something bad enough they find a way.

Good luck and hope you get better, I've lost a few friends from drugs, not H but doesn't matter dead is dead eh?

Remind me not to invite you to any interventions

This is a good move for the reasons described. Friend chose to move to Seattle area after a stint in the can for these reasons and was successful in stepping away from those that were close relations with similar issues. Find a different type of friend. Pretty sure those here will always be here to keep you company. Your thoughts have been missed and it's good to see the hussra moniker make a comeback.

This was really inspirational.
