Not sure if this was already posted here from a few days ago. They seldom talk about the bottom of the 9th from G7 and how it so could’ve gone differently:

I saw some time back (will have to dig to find it) a video of the last out going very wrong, and it can't be unseen. If Cleveland had to *not* blow a 3-1 lead, I am glad it was last night. Still wish we could have taken both games, Sweeping a first place team would have been oh so nice right now.
Allen's ghosts? Exactly what I and many others are worried about with Darvish. I am patiently waiting Sepo, you told me I would be "very happy" with Yu, lol.....I know an adjustment period is the norm, but dang, Jake is doing JUST fine esp on his short time line with no team ST.
In the meantime, Jake is tearing it up
Jake's last 3 games 20.2 IP, 12 H, 3 ER, 6 BB, 13 K
Yu's last 3 games 14.1 IP, 16 H, 10 ER, 9 BB, 17 K
I know Yu has more K's but IP! ER! Jake made it to the 7th twice in a row.
I just......just hope somehow this balances out. It had to have been more than $ with Jake to not want to stay and it is messing with my head. I keep telling myself he left for the challenge, that he accomplished what he wanted with the Cubs and needs the challenge of bringing another team there. That, and no Bosio, and maybe even a smidge of not wanting Willy as his catcher. Willy has GOT to stop jabbing at pitches that are borderline.(who I hope is hanging in there with his health~I was so happy Detroit beat the Pirates for 2 reason's)
Twitter nation wasted no time trolling the Phillies when they got Jake teasing good luck getting to the WS..yeah, well a WC spot could be very real and we know how that can turn out.
Lets just get this series against the Brewers. Will go a LONG way in fueling the surge.
