UNTIL HE LONGS FOR THE SWEET RELEASE OF A DOMINICAN HIGHWAY

SO IT'S KIND OF A DEAD HEAT FOR WHICH FAN BASE HAS THE WORST JAMIE. WHAT IM SAYING IS LET'S GO DONG-CRAZY OFF THIS [expletive] AND MAYBE BANG A COUPLE OFF THE ARCH AND KNOCK THAT PIECE OF [expletive] OVER, PROVIDING ST LOUIS RESIDENTS WITH A BRIDGE OVER THAT DIAPER-FILLED RIVER AND A PATH OUT OF TOWN.

 

THAT'S ALL IVE GOT. [expletive] THE CARDINALS RIGHT IN THEIR FEATHERED ASS HOLES.

[ARCubsFan]

Ride the IMB! wave

[Ski]

Just [expletive] win and don't suck. Rizzo, drink some herbal green tea to help with your plate vision. Bryant, eat a protein bar to get your pop back. Castro, pretend you've been benched again. Hendricks, watch up on 90's Greg Maddux tapes. Russell, if you don't hit a home run, the government is going to take your baby away.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Win Cubs.

[CubInOK]

All of the hearts to IMB!

[expletive] game 1. I'm over that one. Lackey's killed us all year anyway.

 

Bounce back in this one, rock Garcia and head to Wrigley with a split. We'll have Jake waiting in Game 3 and will be facing two pitchers who have been terrible the last two months and who we rocked twice each in September.

Spent entire game watching it at LaGuardia on my phone for interminable delay. Now that I'm in Chicago, we will win.

Thinking about not watching this one. Today was a day I took off to unwind and it turned out to be not at all relaxing. Tomorrow my 3 favorite sports teams have enormous games and I can't take another one of those days. I'm gonna go hiking.

Hendricks over his last four starts: 30 strikeouts, 2 walks. He can dominate these assholes. Do it.

wtf

[Andy]

Must win this game. Beating any playoff team 3 games in a row is difficult, beating these [expletive] 3 in a row is a really big ask.

[LeonDurham]

I'm at peace. I don't feel an impending sense of doom like I did in 2007 and 2008.

Because this wouldn't be doom even if they got swept

[itisallpartoftheplan]

My friend that's a Cardinals fan keeps texting me how nervous he is. He can go eat some rusted nails. He's got 2 WS in the bank. My peak is 3 nlcs wins.

[Ski]

Yeah, if I was a Cardinals fan I would try to maintain some perspective.

[Sammys Boombox]

Here's the thing. I honestly feel we're the best team right now left in the playoffs. Maybe Blue Jays, but they're in big trouble. I'm not looking at this as a year we're playing with house money. I'm looking at it as a year where we have the hottest pitcher in baseball and a couple of others that are pretty hot too. Offense needs to step it up. I'm not saying I wouldn't look back on this season and realize how awesome it was even with a NLDS loss, but I will carry that loss with me all offseason and into next season because this team is a legit favorite if they can just string together some games (like they have the last 3 months).

[rocket]

WIN DORKS.

 

or don't, it's just a game. right?

[ScrubMD]

I demand victory.

[Old Style]

Hendricks won't be great today but the bats come to life in a big Cubs win. I'm saying 12-4 with the Cubs getting up early and cruising to a :flythew: .

[Boris]

Win the game please. Thanks.

[Guest]

garcia is a GB pitcher, hopefully he's a bit amped up and some pitches go high on him. when is the last time he pitched?

[Cubswin11]

Win idiots

not that I want to blame the umpires or anything for last night, but I wonder who is behind the plate tonight? Isn't Winters pretty bad also?
