2016 Indians: Blow a 3-1 lead, lose the clincher at home

2017 Indians: Blow a 2-0 lead, lose the clincher at home.

If Indians lose, would be 6 consecutive losses in games with a chance to clinch a series. Same streak Rangers have dating to 2011.

What. A. Choke. This is epic. Looks like #Astros losing best record in AL and #Indians 22-game win streak had zero impact on the postseason.

Wait, you mean they didn’t crown the Indians World Series champs after their 22-game winning streak? #cLLevLand

Going into game 3...the Indians had won 35 of 39...then the Yankees beat them 3 straight. Incredible.
