[Guest]

Cubs are going to really regret losing 5 of 7 to the Phillies when they head to Pittsburgh in October

 

i wonder how they'll feel about taking 7/7 from the mets

It's a one game playoff. The impact of home field advantage is tiny, and no, I don't really care about their home record. We're the second best road team in baseball.

the lineout gods demand lineouts

 

and by god we will deliver

[Ski]

Sometimes [expletive] just happens. No one has to happy about it, but that's the way it is.

 

...I say, as we make yet another lineout. It's not like the BABIP on line drives is .825 or anything.

The Giants sure didn't seem cut up about having to go to Pittsburgh last October.

[Gilby]

IF the wild card game is played at PNC, and if you were Joe Maddon, would you at all consider starting Jackson over one of Coghlan/Schwarber?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Uh oh! Rizzo dong to tie it?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

You sonofabitch! [expletive] you, BABIP gods!

[Derwood]

[expletive] shift

[Ski]

This game was [expletive] luck all around.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ugh... how many more of these stupid games until I get to see Jake pitch in the playoffs?

Yeah our ideal outfield against Cole (Schwarber/Fowler/Coghlan) definitely has limited defensive ability. Arrieta has the 4th lowest FB rate in the majors (qualified) though, so it's not too much of a concern for me.

Really hope the bullpen can actually be a shutdown force in the playoffs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Dumb, dumb comment. Richard kept the Cubs in this game and Edwards is a freakin rookie.

 

The pen had nothing to do with today's loss and little to do with yesterday's outside of a fluke Rondon meatball.

I'm never going to a game again.

He's saying it as a thread, not a warning.

In all seriousness, how many games would you suppose are won or lost as a result of one unfortunate pitch or lucky swing.

[Sammy Sofa]

Technically every game ever in the history of baseball.

[J.R.]

may this be the last time we get jobbed by aaron harang
