20 in a row is something else.

I think your team winning eight in a row is the point at which you feel like you're on drugs. Twenty in a row must be like ecstasy on the moon.

The last team to do that was the 2002 A's. Are we sure it was just ecstasy?

Mets stuff - Terrence Long played 162 games for that club. (Baseball-Reference lists him as the centerfielder.)

Indians 21-5 with Jay Bruce in the lineup.

[Frayed Knot]

7th shutout (and second straight) among the 20 wins.
They might go 21-5 with ME in the lineup.

[Zvon]

Pretty incredible. We've had two streaks of 11 over the last few years but imagine....20 in a row. If the Mets did that my head would explode.

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

If they break the all-time win streak record, it would be a good time to announce a name change to something less racist. Who can be oppose a team that just won 27 straight games?

One of my Indians fan friends has commented, "Win the Series and retire the Chief!", which is something I can see happening. I think the city and the team are looking for a reason to do it that doesn't make it appear that they're simply caving to outside pressure, and a fan rebellion after a Series victory would look silly. Changing the name and/or making any other changes after breaking the winning streak record, not so much.

Art Howe managed that '02 A's squad, on the topic of Mets stuff related to it.

[Frayed Knot]

BLACKJACK!!


In yesterday's (20th) win it took them until their first batter to get a lead - leadoff HR Francisco Lindor.
Today they actually got down 1-0 so it took them all the way until Jay Bruce's 3R HR in the bottom of the 1st (5th batter)

[Edgy MD]

Cleveland's greatest 21: Bob Lemon.

My son has been an Indians fan since he could talk. Not saying a word to him so I don't jinx it

[Chad ochoseis]

Some Jay Bruce content here. Jay is clearly a summa cum laude graduate of the Crash Davis School of Baseball Cliches.

[Frayed Knot]

Indians batting in bottom 9, down by a run to KC and closer Kelvin Herrera.

1st batter = Groundout

[Chad ochoseis]

Ex-Met prospect Drew Butera behind the plate. It's down to two so-so young Indians.

[Frayed Knot]

Single to left for Tyler Naquin

'Twould be a shame for all these Indian fans who suddenly are attending the games to go home disappointed

[Edgy MD]

Naquin hugging first. Very exciting.

[Frayed Knot]

Kid making his ML debut grounds into force play ... but now the lineup turns over and it's back to Lindor.
Tying run on 1st, winning at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Two. But Lindor up at the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

AND THEY FUCKING TIE THE GAME!!!!

[Chad ochoseis]

Holy crap.

[Edgy MD]

That was great.

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm in Jersey this week, so I can see the Indians on MLB.tv and not the Mets. Judging from what I see in the boxscores, I'm getting the better end of the deal.

[Frayed Knot]

KCR doesn't score in top 10 despite a one out single

Looks like Ramirez, Encarnacion, and Bruce for the seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians" in the bottom half

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff hustle double

[Chad ochoseis]

You do that, you'd better be safe. Particularly with Edwin Encarnacion on deck.

[Frayed Knot]

1st & 2nd
I think if Jay Bruce wins the game here the Indians need to send us another player to goose up the trade.



AND HE DOES!!!!

[Chad ochoseis]

...and it ends with an ex-Met walkoff.

[Zvon]

Wow. I should have been watching that game.

[Edgy MD]

I love that the Indians' translator showed up with her finals week hairstyle.

[Edgy MD]

Jay Bruce is spewing cliches for the cycle!
