Who loses more games during September, the Indians or the Browns?

So far the Browns are "leading" 1-0

[Edgy MD]

Cleveland up 3-1 through three, but gave up runs each of the last two innings and are tied at three through five.

[Edgy MD]

Uh, oh. KC goes up 4-3.

[MFS62]

Angel Hernandez is in the umpiring crew.
Nothing good can happen if he's involved in it.

We go to bottomy bottom of the ninthy ninth.

Jason Vargas started this game for the Royals, and even though he only went five, the Royals took the league in the top of the sixth, leaving him as the pitcher of record.

Is Jason F. Vargas really going to be the guy to break this streak? JASON VARGAS?

[Edgy MD]

Yanni Diaz leads off with a flare single to right off his fists.

[Edgy MD]

Gomes goes down looking at a fastball down the pipe.

One out and one on. Francisco Mejia on to pinch hit.

[Edgy MD]

He strikes out. It's all up to Francisco Lindor.

Again.

[Edgy MD]

And that's it. Twenty-two and out.

[MFS62]

Poopie.
The streak has ended.

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.

a). No

shit

I wonder what I meant by this

[Benjamin Grimm]

If you don't know, I'm not sure who will!

[Guest cooby]

Well the 'no' part I understand because I don't want them to retire chief wahoo

Yeah, I gotta admit that threw me for a loop.

In other developments, Tito Francona demonstrates that he's smarter than Yogi Berra by going with his back-end starter over pushing his ace on short rest in ALDS Game 1*. https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/10/03/cleveland-indians-alds-game-one-trevor-bauer-corey-kluber

*and, yes, I know the situations are different.

[Guest cooby]

Chad I'm sorry. I really have no idea, but I don't think I meant anything against you.

Just one of my brain farts

[Chad ochoseis]

No worries. I didn't take it personally.
