    Actually, you're both right. I-80 meets I-90 (Indiana Toll Road) in the NW corner of Indiana and becomes I-80/90 all the way through Indiana and Ohio until Cleveland, where the road splits. I-90 goes north and east along Lake Erie into New York, and I-80 goes south and east through Pennsylvania.

    So I guess it would be the I-80/90 Series. :D

    On paper, the Cubs have a better shot than the Indians. Nobody is predicting the Tribe to get past Boston...

    But a lot of obstacles have been overcome this season.

    Hmmm. Back to back to back HRs by the Indians. Who's the underdog? 8)

    :D

    Dodgers up tomorrow.
    Kershaw vs. Scherzer...

    Dodgers taking SEVEN rookies on the playoff roster.

    The box-boy will start in place of Howie Kendrick. I agree with this move...

    Well, technically not. Perez homered, Santana grounded out, Kipnis homered, then Lindor homered. :wink:

    Haha. After the second homer, I stepped away from the TV. When I came back, the third homer was flying out. I was so taken by the multiple homers that I was completely unaware there was an out in between #2 and #3. Still pretty impressive.

    Not to get technical on you again ... But the ground out was between #1 and #2. :)

    Whatever happened, I missed it. I didn't watch the entire game, but I was watching during that inning, apparently not close enough. Between the first and second homer, I flipped over to the Cardinals-49ers game. I thought I was watching the next batter when I flipped back. I never saw the # of outs. After the third homer, I went to the other room to tell my wife what I thought the Indians had done. She rolled her eyes. She's not a baseball fan. Gee, should I tell her what really happened? Probably not. :D

    Liriano took a rocket off the bat of Carlos Gomez to his neck. Walked off the mound and went to the hospital I'll bet he has a really sore big bruise at the very least and maybe even a fractured bone in his neck. I hope he's OK

    I watched until it was 4-0 then moved on to something else. They've beaten the BoSox' two best SP.

    :D

    Dodgers win at DC. These two teams look pretty even. The box-boy hit Scherzer in his first at-bat. HRs by Seager and the Red Dream...a five out save for Kenley. I'll be glad when this series gets back to Dodger Stadium.

    The Tribe looks great...

    Rooting for the Cubbies to break Frisco hearts...

    Tribe cruised so far...but last two times we played the BoSox in the playoffs we jumped off to leads (2-0 in a five game series and 3-1 in an ALCS) and they came back to beat us. Hate having to head to Fenway! At least we have Francona on our side this time! 8)

    :(

    Dodger series is even and heading back to LA...

    Seager has homered in every game...

    The bullpen continues to look strong...

    I loved the Blue Jays win tonight. Russell Martin became a Canadian legend...

    Congratulations, Stu. The Indians move on. They sure made it exciting in the bottom of the 9th.

    I can not believe the Tribe won this series in three games. Joel is probably a sad individual this evening.

    Yeah, but his Patriots chewed up my Browns Sunday. 2 more QB injuries. Might have to go out and find out where Johnny Football is hanging out.

    Nice sweep by the Indians.

    Dodgers hit a little bump in the road as do the Cubs.

    Blue Jays soar with a sweep of their own.

    I'll be curious as to Sid's take on this play in the Cubs game.

    Clearly safe. I went to bed and didn't stay up for the game. What was the call?
