The city of Cleveland and Golden State now have something in common

[Nilocon165]

Only thing the Bay has in common with that sh!t hole

You used to be one of the most unbiased and chill posters here.
Did the dubs blowing a 3-1 really take that much of a toll on you?

And at the end of the day Inferno,

-Cavs won the chip

-Indians were in the World Series

and

-Warriors lost in the finals

-Giants lost in the ALDS

I don't live in Cleveland, I live in a nice suburb in central Ohio but it's hilarious how people try to talk shit about the city when they're getting smacked by them

The Indians put in work this season, overachieving massively. Cheers to Francona for putting the Indians on the map. The man is a God. Long live the bullpen.

We need to give the Cubs some credit here..

Chicago came back from being down 3-1 WITHOUT their best player lobbying to the league to suspend Cleveland's best player.

Stuff of legends.

Warrior fans still very upset I can see

Cleveland, no suspensions, no chips

Deal with it




P.S. your city is a shithole

Warriors, no other teams starting PGs injured, no back-2-back finals...

[SamuraiSWISH]

Indians #2 and #3 starter were hurt

Cubs best power hitter tore his ACL as the season just started and was gone the entire year. Significant part of their offense.

Lol never forget the level of front running with this clown.

Best part about this picture is that is was taken AT AN INDIANS GAME.

I love LeBron's game but can't stand him off the court.

lol I have never understood the hate either? I don't live in Cleveland either, its a surrounding city but there's actually quite a bit to do in Cleveland.

Sounds like the 2015 Finals.

There was actually quite a bit in common. Not only were the Indians' Nos. 2 & 3 starters hurt, but their #4 guy (Trevor Bauer) injured his finger playing with his drone before the ALCS and was a shell of himself afterwards. On top of all that, our best offensive player -- Michael Brantley -- was also injured all year and never played in the postseason.

If you tally up all of the injuries the Indians were dealt, it probably would equal up to being without Kyrie and Love for the Cavs.

And, it had a huge impact on the World Series. Because the rotation was so short, it meant having to throw Kluber three times in the World Series, twice on just 3 days rest. The Cubs didn't have a single pitcher with that kind of workload. And, when a team sees a guy three times in a series, they start to pickup on things and naturally will do better the third time than the first and second time because of it.

True to form, Kluber was basically unhittable in his first two starts and then just average in his third.

The Indians needed to win that series early and they almost did. The longer it went, the more likely it was that the healthier and more talented Cubs would start to take over ... just like the 2015 NBA Finals with the Cavs and Warriors. The Cavs basically had to sweep the Warriors to have any chance since they were playing with a 6-man rotation and Delly was getting 40 minutes a night when he was accustomed to getting 15-20 minutes.


There is absolutely no comparison between the Indians losing a 3-1 lead to a better, healthier Cubs team and what the Cavs achieved by coming back on a 73-win Warriors team this past season. The Cubs were huge favorites (2-1 in Vegas) coming into that series and no one ever thought the Indians would be up 3-1 in the first place.

It was an incredible series, but the Cubs did finally prove they were the better team. I don't really see the 3-1 thing as a big deal in this situation. It is more common in baseball and, if it were ever going to happen in the World Series (it had happened 6 times before), this was the year everything was set up perfectly for it.
