Safe to say, the city of Cleveland is crushing it this year --?in both the NBA and Major League Baseball. And when the two join forces, magical things can happen.Remember when the Cleveland Indians went on a 14-game winning streak after the Cleveland Cavaliers brought home some hardware?This partnership?kept rolling Friday night when LeBron James went to Progressive Field to root on the Indians --?from a?luxury box, of course.At first, things were far from picture perfect for the Indians. The Toronto Blue Jays scored twice in the?first inning. No sweat, though. Plenty of game left.Come bottom of the ninth inning and Toronto leading 2-1, it was time to start sweating. Time to pull out all the stops. Put LeBron on the big screen.What happens next? Jose Ramirez homers to tie the score.Wait, what?Yes, the Indians put LeBron on the screen, and a home run ensued. But?theres more.The next batter, Tyler Naquin slammed a fly off the right-field fence that turned into an inside-the-park home run. His dive?into home plate was a Hollywood finish.LeBron tweeted about the outrageous?win with some suggestive hashtags.If weve learned anything, when LeBron says a team is next, it might not be as outlandish as you think.Indians pitcher?Danny Salazar followed up?with a tweet to LeBron.A picture-perfect finish, indeed -- not one, but two home runs, back to back, for an Indians walk-off win. Naturally, the Indians went ham on their Twitter profile, updating both their bio and profile picture to include Naquin.So, how do the Indians top that one? Well, they have their fourth sold-out game of the season on Saturday. Think LeBron will make an appearance to ice the cake? wholesale jerseys . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinastore.com/?tag=cheap-tennessee-titans-jerseys . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. cheap nfl jerseys . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Cheap Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys . Already owning gold from competition in Vancouver in 2010, Loch posted a combined four-run time of 3:27.526. That included a track-record third run of 51. CLEVELAND -- They dont have a true superstar, an embarrassment of All-Stars or a celebrity following. Thats the NBA champion Cavaliers, who play next door.The Indians, though, have depth, chemistry, one of baseballs best managers and quite possibly the most dominant bullpen weapon in the game.Andrew Miller has Cleveland two wins from the World Series -- and Toronto batters flailing.Josh Tomlin baffled Blue Jays batters for nearly six innings and Miller, acquired just ahead of the trade deadline for exactly these pressure-packed October moments, blew them away as Cleveland edged Toronto 2-1 on Saturday to take 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.Carlos Santana homered off 20-game winner J.A. Happ, and Francisco Lindor had an RBI single for the Indians. They won the second straight tense game in this series and have won five straight postseason games for the first time in their 116-year history.An afterthought in August, Tomlin has emerged as an unlikely October star for the Indians. He allowed one run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings for his second win of the postseason -- he won the Game 3 Division Series clincher in Boston -- before Cleveland manager Terry Francona handed the ball to the magnificent Miller, who is making the Blue Jays look like Little Leaguers.The lanky left-hander struck out the side in the seventh, two more in the eighth and has 10 strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings in the series. He has not allowed a run in 16 career postseason innings.Hes one of the best Ive ever seen, said closer Cody Allen , who worked the ninth to close the three-hitter for his second straight save. He goes out there for two innings, shuts them down and gets a lot of swings and misses. Whenever you get to come in behind a guy like that, youre in a pretty good spot.So are the Indians, who had never been up 2-0 in four previous ALCS trips.Miller has been the difference so far, blowing through the Blue Jays. Before getting a groundout in the eighth, he struck out seven straight over two games.Theres a reason we gave up what we did for him, said Francona, referring to the four top prospects the Indians sent to the Yankees in July. We thought that he could be a guy that we could leverage in situations like we have. And it would make our bullpen that much better and give us a chance to keep playing. And thats exactly what hes doing.After bludgeoning Texas in the ALDS by hitting eight homers and scoring 22 runs, Toronto has one run and 10 hits -- eight singles and a pair of doubles -- in two games against the Indians, dropping to 0-2 in the ALCS for the second straight year.Bautista is 0 for 6 in the series with five strikeouts and in a 0-for-14 postseason tailspin. The only bat flipping Joey Bats has done is back into the rack.We didnt get destroyed or anything in these two games, but weve got our work cut ouut for us, Jays catcher Russell Martin said.dddddddddddd History shows we can hit the ball. Were going to have the opportunity to do that at home.The series heads north to Torontos raucous Rogers Centre for Game 3 on Monday, with Clevelands Trevor Bauer slated to face Marcus Stroman.Tomlin originally was scheduled to pitch Game 3, but he was pushed up after Bauer cut his right pinkie while repairing one of the drones he enjoys flying as a hobby. The 31-year-old Tomlin pitched himself out of the rotation by going 0-5 with a 11.48 ERA in August, but injuries to Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar gave him another chance and hes made the most of it.Tomlin relied on his curveball to keep the Blue Jays guessing.I needed to establish I could throw it for a strike early on, and then it was a pretty good pitch, he said.Millers slider buckled the Blue Jays and delighted his teammates.I dont even know how to say it, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said. Its fun to watch. Ive faced that before, which is not fun to watch.POST(SEASON)POURRI: Indians RF Lonnie Chisenhall extended his postseason hitting streak to six games, equaling Jhonny Peraltas team record to begin a career. . Lindor has five RBI in four playoff games. . Josh Donaldsons double in the third inning made him Torontos playoff leader in the category for a season (six) and career (nine). ... The winning team in ALCS Game 2 has advanced to the World Series 24 times in the last 30 years. ... Teams holding a 2-0 series lead are 24-3 in the LCS under its present best-of-seven format.MILLER TIMEMiller spent his first six big league seasons as a starter, but has no desire to do it again. I think that ship has sailed, I had my chance, said Miller, who went 10-1 with a 1.45 ERA in 70 regular-season outings this season. The bullpen is a lot of fun. I like coming to the ballpark every day knowing I have a chance to pitch.CHEERLEADERFor the second time in the postseason, LeBron James and most of his Cavs teammates showed up to root on the Indians.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays 2B Devon Travis is done for the postseason with a right knee injury he aggravated during Game 1. Toronto was granted a roster substitution by Major League Baseball and replaced Travis with 1B Justin Smoak. Travis would not be eligible for the World Series if the Blue Jays advance.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Stroman allowed one run in both regular-season starts -- no decisions- against Cleveland, posting a 1.29 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 14 innings.Indians: Bauer was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA and 16 strikeouts in two outings against Toronto. Scheduled to start the following day, he came on in relief and pitched five scoreless innings in Clevelands 2-1, 19-inning win July 1.
