Not sure what time it's on though, and haven't really got a clue about the game but hope the win.

You know you can find out by simply typing 'Red Sox' on Google right? It's starts at 1:07am UK time.

Ok ok, live on Espn. 1.07? What a fucking stupid time to start a game of racketball. Why not 1am or 1.10 am?

Cubs to lose now. Momentum is on their side and being in Cleveland might actually be easier for them. Once those three runs were scored last night I knew that was game over. Only thing Cleveland have going for them is they have Kluber going tonight and he's been kryptonite to Chicago.

You also have Cody Allen on a full days rest, while Andrew Miller is sat on 2 days rest going into tonight. They'll eat 4+ innings themselves if needed. Both have been lights out during the post season.

Love a Game 7.

 

Francona has the fresh bullpen but the Cubs are hitting the cover off the ball.

 

Loads of commentators questioning Maddon for leaving in his closer in a blowout, especially as he appeared to be limping after a close play at first.

 

I think Maddon has a bit of the too clever for his own good about him, I like Terry Francona....he was an Expo and I used to watch him play. Wore number 16.

 

In other epic news, I ordered a Bill Lee powder blue Expo jersey. First jersey I have bought in aboot six years. And we have jersey day at work as a fundraiser for the charity so I can wear it.

I was looking at the composite scores for the 6 games to date, and though I've read a lot about the Cub's batting having 'gone cold', they've only scored one run less than the Indians (19 vs 20). They also had more hits than the Indians (48 vs 44).

 

What was more noticeable was that the Cubs have only scored 3 of those runs from the 6th inning onwards, whereas the Indians have scored 11. I don't know if that means the Cubs are struggling against the Indians' bullpen or whether the Indians' bullpen is ridiculously strong. Because I don't follow either side that closely, I also don't know if that means that the Cubs' own bullpen is shite or whether the Indians' batting lineup is specifically targetting them. I say 'bullpen' because the starting pitcher is normally replaced around the 6th or 7th inning.

 

The Indians have however managed to get at least one run in each inning if you look at the composite scores. Does that mean their bats can consistently keep the scoreboard ticking over? Or does it mean that the Cubs' lineup is very streaky?

Clev stadium full of Cubs fans. Fucking ridiculous. Imagine being able to win the league / european cup at Anfield after a huge drought and selling home tickets to away fans. Thats what its like.
