Considering that he completely changed his approach from his 1st start to his 2nd, and had them off balance in both, I bet that they are already wondering just what he is going to throw at them tonight.

If someone would have asked me before the series began: "would you take a game seven at home with Kluber starting"?

My answer would have been: Hell yes.

If the Cubs can beat him in Cleveland then they have earned it. He is our ace. We are at home. I like our chances.

Agreed. Rookie has hit the wall. I would also sit chisenhall. He has had a rough time in right. He even looks shaky on the routine fly ball directly to him. It's not either one has been knocking the cover off the ball.

If I'm managing the tribe I'm starting Davis in center, crisp in left and guyer in right.

My goal for the evening is to not lose it like I did last night. I posted a bunch of negative crap here and paced the house dropping F-bombs. I think I had my "we're going to officially lose" outburst after the 3rd inning and it helped me accept today.

I know anything can happen in a Game 7 and we're at home, but I have a terrible, ominous feeling that we'll be stunned early in the game, just like last night.

Again, being in Chicago and having most of my friends and family being Cubs fans is going to be rough. It's not like 2015 when we lost to the Warriors and I could avoid it. I'll have to listen to fireworks all night, my Facebook feed is screwed up, my phone will be blasted with smack talk and I'll have constant reminders for years of this collapse.

I guess this is somehow payback for June. "We can't have nice things."

Oh, but we will have nice things.

I certainly hope the team hasn't given up like too many fans have it seems.

I have some of that "Browns" feeling as well. But the Tribe isn't the Browns.

Ask Klubot to go 4. Fill innings 5-6 with bullpen arms. Have Miller go 7-8. Then Allen closes.

Ok so it's a stretch.

But it is a song of desperation and hope. And it does have an Indian beat.

I think if we see any pitchers other than Kluber, Miller, Allen and possibly Shaw tonight, we lost the game.

Ideally:

Kluber - 5 Innings

Miller - 2 2/3 or 2 1/3

Allen - 1 1/3 or 1 2/3

Genius me decided to schedule a meeting for a bunch of different schools today; I totally didn't look at the WS schedule.

Bright side? I get to watch it in HD with my assistant principal, and her husband. They're Tigers fans :-\

Just watch Highly Questionable, their coverage for tonight's game was titled, "who will choke?". It's like the story told nationally won't be about who won the series, but it will be about who is the bigger disappointment.

Francona on Rajai/Coco: "I thought (Naquin) was pressing. Tonight's our last game. With Kluber pitching, wanted team that should catch ball"

It is a game. Last night had some flukes. Francona should throw it at them harder. Hope we win some way, any way.

Break their hearts!

Go, Tribe. We might even throw Sheen.

I am going to be silver lining guy. Even if we lose we still have OSU / MICH then go right into the Cavs, saying that I feel we win this in dramatic fashion.

Such a dumb narrative for what's been a pretty good series.

And I totally get if the Indians lose, we'll hear the 3-1 lead jokes, and probably in a way we might deserve it a little. If the Tribe don't win tonight, I don't see this as some massive choke job. Certainly not like 2007 when you had a fully rested CC Sabathia on the mound with a chance to close Boston out, at Progressive field and he failed. I bring that up because they also blew a 3-1 lead in that series.

I'm worried about the first inning tonight. Maybe the first two. I think if the Cubs get to Kluber early this thing is really going to be tough. Asking someone to go 3 times in 9 days is tough. I know that guy is probably one of few who could pull that off, but it's still a really hard spot to be in.

Considering the injuries, and the limitations with this team already, I don't think there is a ton of shame with losing in 7. I don't really know what button could have been pushed (at this point anyway).

I don' think Ryan Merritt was really an option to start at all. I think he gambled with the young guy once and got away with it, but I don't think Tito was going to press his luck again with that one.

I really think they will just have to live with what both Kluber can give you for 4-5 innings, and if the bats can string together enough runs to turn this thing over to the horses in the pen to bring it home. I think we all would have signed up for this in April.

I guess the owners of fresh brewed tees flew sheen out and he'll be at the game as Ricky. Pretty cool. Though I think this is pretty much over, 3rd time facing kluber and as bad as our offense is. Like I said, did so much more than we should have with all the injuries. Final score 6-2 cubs
