Lane Thomas’ aggressive approach at the plate paid off again for the Cleveland Guardians in Game 5 of the ALDS on Saturday.
On the first pitch he saw from Detroit Tigers starter Tarik Skubal in the bottom of the fifth inning, Thomas blasted a grand slam to help the Guardians to a 7-3 victory and advance to the ALCS.
"He threw one pitch over the middle and I put a good swing on it. It's as simple as that," Thomas said afterward. "I don't know how many scoreless innings he threw [in the series], it just takes one."

Guardians. Why does that bring up a mental picture of middle aged men in diapers?
Don’t care. Don’t care! Just win! That series aged me.
Guardindians
Are fans of the Cleveland team called wards?
Go Tribe!
Go TRIBE! I’ve got my Indians gear on.
So many fans walked away from the team when the wokies renamed it "Guardians".
Maybe Taylor Swift's next boyfriend will be a Guardians player.
The name brings to my mind a fictional football team in a poorly written novel. “Guardians” sounds like a placeholder name the author inserted until he could come up with an awesome name. He forgot to replace it before it was published.
Bs. They want the skankies to win. They always want the skankies to win.
I haven’t followed baseball in a while. When I read the headline, I was like, who the heck are the Guardians?
In this case, since the Cleveland Guardindians and the Yankees are both in the same league, so the league championship series is the highest advertisement and gambling series the two can meet in.
I’m happy for the Gardasils!
1948 !
Ohh hack. I was so hoping for the Tigers because they had such a good run.. Ohh well, then. go Cleveland.
I'm hoping that the World Series is Cleveland against the Mets, mostly because that mean the Yankees and the Dodgers won't be in it. A Yankees vs. Dodgers series would be the 12th time those two teams met in the World Series. Boring.
Is a Subway series on the table? I haven’t been following. Can’t deal with the advertising. Still wounded by cardboard fans. God I miss the last millenium.
Go Tribe!
They’ll always be the Indians to me.
