Indians lose to Royals and Red Sox

[Smooth]

With tonights loss to the Royals and tonights win of Boston over the Twins, the Red Sox have clinched the best record in the AL and home field advantage throughout the playoffs... Even though the Indians could win and the Red Sox could lose tomorrow, the Red Sox hold the tiebreaker against the Indians as they went 5-2 this year...

At least we got to the playoffs...

The Tigers and Cardinals were Wild Card teams and won the World Series so it's not like home field advantage means everything, it'd be nice though...

Won't matter though... I don't see Boston beating LA anyways... So if the Indians make it to the ALCS, I assume they will have home field over LA ???

Well with the Angels winning tonight and the Indians losing, they are tied for the 2nd best record... So if they both win then it comes down to the tie breaker which is tied at 5, so I don't know where it goes from there... If they win and we lose then they get it and vice versa...

So it'll be interesting to see how it turns out...

Indians hold the tiebreaker over the Angels because they have a better record in their own division (tiebreaker after head-to-head).

I might drive all the way to la to see the tribe in action.

The Indians have already clinched 2nd best record (because they own the tiebreaker and are 1 game up on the Angels). So, they will open at home, and would open at home against the Angels in the ALCS (if both teams make it).

The path to the World Series trophy:

3-2 ALDS win over Yanks, CC finishes them off
4-2 ALCS win over Angels
4-2 World Series win over Phillies

That's my story and I'm sticking to it... they will bring home a title to Cleveland on Halloween night, you heard it here first It will be complete bedlam in the Gateway plaza.

Hell, it would be bedlam in Northeast Ohio. 43 years since any kind of championship is a long time to wait.

Yep, I was just singling out the plaza at Gateway because in my scenario that's the same night as the Cavs opener against the Mavs. So you'd have an extra 20,000+ people involved in the celebration in that concentrated area

That would be an amazing, truly awe-inspiring spectacle.

That would be an amazing, truly awe-inspiring spectacle.

There'd be tears of joy, followed by MASSIVE amounts of alcohol, immediately followed by at least a week off of work to bask in the glory.

Too bad my software implementation's go-live date is November 1st, leading to me working a potential 100 hour week right on top of that.
