    GAME. BLOUSES.

    Just two outs and two walks into Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer had to leave the game because he had blood pouring out of his right pinky finger. What’s one more injury to an already injury-riddled Indians squad that is now only one win away from reaching the World Series?

    Oh, and the team’s first game of the World Series could be the same day that the Cleveland Cavaliers receive their championship rings and unveil the 2016 NBA title banner? Cleveland is on the cusp of saying, “New championship, who dis?” to the rest of the world.

    Manager Terry Francona reached into his bullpen and pulled out six pitchers to get the final 25 outs in the Indians’ 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

    BLESSINGS!

    Yas, girl, you better cover Aaliyah’s Are You That Somebody. Whew, that was a slay.

    SOCIAL STATUS

    Netflix series Last Chance U‘s Ronald Ollie — a fan favorite of the show — scored a big man touchdown on Saturday. Ollie found himself at Nicholls State University this year, the same school that threatened the University of Georgia earlier this season, after finishing up at East Mississippi Community College.

    After five games, he leads the team in hurries, is third in tackles for loss and has a sack. Now, he has a score.
