I like the managerial match-up: Maddon v. Francona
both are among the best if not the best. I saw no tactical errors, although I probably would left Kluber in to try for at least one out in the 7th (would have pulled him if he allowed another baserunner)

I told y'all last week Cleveland is solid. But they've used their ace
and now they gotta bring in the second string.

More from the "announcers"
So what was the common thread between this game and those two shutouts against the Dodgers? According to ESPN Stats & Information, it was the unusually high percentage of fastballs the Cubs took for strikes against the starters they faced in all three of those games.

Man. Kluber was on fire last night for Cleveland. I hope Arrieta has a night like that.

xBrown, typo noted. Thx.
My link seems to work OK. It's the Chicago Cubs' curse, likely.

MFM - If I click on the link it goes to the global USA today page
If I cut and paste it goes to the correct page.
Curses
Now it works if I click on it. I'll expect a report on my desk by end of business on this date next year.

The Cubbies are f*#ked.
Kluber really got their goat.

Crankloons got no proper priorities.
Doesn't seem that Schwarber's bat lost any of its juice during his layoff.

Everybody loves a good catcher.
On pregame rest: "I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4."

Cubs are working against the stats, T Hocking...
The team that won the opening game has gone on to win the whole shebang 12 of the last 13 WS...

Michele is all Cubs. Doesn't like the manager of the "Ohio team".
I'm starting to "slud" (thanks Dizzy) toward Cleveland.
