Big night for Rich Hill. Go Blue and Go Dodger Blue!

Submitted by Cali Wolverine on
Sorry long suffering Cubs fans, but former Michigan pitcher Rich Hill had an amazing night and got the W tonight in the NLCS for the Dodgers. Here is a nice link from 247 about Hill's performance tonight and a great story about the former Wolverine... http://michigan.247sports.com/Article/Former-Michigan-baseball-star-Ric…

Well, I can't promise you that you'll never hear another word.  I can promise you won't hear anything from me.  You do realize Cleveland has won 1 major championship in nearly 60 years?  In the meantime have had heartbreak after heartbreak and if it wasn't heartbreak it was complete trainwreck after trainwreck (ie; Browns). The truth is that many, I included, wondered if they would ever see a Cleveland championship.  The fact that they are on the precipice of winning 2 in a row in the same year is incredible.

That word IF Cleveland wins is still a pretty big word for Clevelanders.

Very true. I think the difference is Boston fans acted like they were just the little guy when they were so obviously not and spending money on a New York Yankees level. Cleveland really is "the little guy" in that regard.

Plus, ESPN being in Bristol puts them in Boston's backyard, easier coverage. Bigger market. Ain't no ESPN execs wanting to hang out in Cleveland.

Go Dodgers! They've always been my second team I cheer for behind the Tigers. No real reason other than their hat. I love that crispy white LA logo over the top of the royal blue. I've been rocking mine since the Tigers were eliminated.

Lifelong Dodgers fan and was loving how Hill was pitching last night.  Great game!  It remains to be seen how the Dodgers handle the rest of the series with their rotation held together by spit and baling wire, but should be a fun ride.

I almost wonder if this "break the curse" pressure on the Cubs is to their detriment and advantages the team they are playing in whatever series they are up in.

It was a darn impressive performance by a Michigan Man. But...

He came out of the Atlantic League to roar back to the Show.

Bartman has gotten a bad rap for years (blame it on 1945 and Murphy the goat) but isn't it ironic that Chicago Cubs fan Bartman is now known as the  "GOAT"?

That's right! That was nice. I'm from Montreal, but don't follow the Habs/NHL at all. When I saw that Montoya and Pacioretty had nice games though, it made me happy. Of all combinations of UM alums to make headlines in one night, Montoya, Pacioretty and Rich Hill are about as obscure a trio you can come up with, but really cool nonetheless.
