Miller in the game in the fifth.

It is on the verge of not working...

But it did. I suppose.

But it did. I suppose.

He always had Ortiz's number.

To my surprise, Miller was used as a setup guy with the Indians. Will be interesting to see if the Indians bullpen can hold for four more innings.

Porcello suddenly looked like Porcello.

[JohnBKistler]

Ulbaldo reference. Thanks.

I think I like the Indians. I don't even harbor any lingering bitterness from 1997. Despite still having emotional scars from watching the last game of that series from beginning to bitter end by myself in a Radisson bar in Orinda, CA.

Before they install robo umps they should fix the "ground rule" double.

It was Even Steven. We ripped their hearts out in 1996. I can still see Roberto Alomar hitting that 2-out, 2-strike single in the 9th to tie and then the homer in the 12th to win.

Francona must have heard the criticism of Buck because he brought in his best reliever Andrew Miller in the fifth inning. It's like Francona thought to himself, there's no way I'm going to lose this game because I took too long to go to my best reliever after the way Buck got destroyed by the media.

I resent Armando Benitez more, Tony Fernandez could not handle his fastball ball. Benitez got tired of Fernandez fouling off his fastball, caved and threw a hanging breaking pitch.

Just barely cleared the wall in right. I was at that game.

And Miller rewarded Francona with some classic late reliever style....manufacturing trouble then miraculously getting out of it.

I have a feeling many of the posters who were saying Buck didn't lose the WC game by not bringing in Britton didn't feel the same way towards Armando Benitez after the 1997 ALCS.

Word. If the O's win that game, they likely make the World Series. I was at that game too.
