10/10 CUBS (HENDRICKS) @ CARDS (GARCIA,) 4:30 P.M. CT, TBS

I hate bars that play music instead of the game audio. The announcing is usually [expletive], but the best part of watching a playoff game is hearing how much the crowd is getting into it.

 

that all depends

 

but yeah, game audio is a must. i'd think almost any sports bar in chicago that would be showing this game would have the audio on.

Solo bar, you'll have plenty of people to bond with, just don't be creepy.

Fargo, North Dakota bars (at least the couple I've been to) will throw the game on because it's an important sporting event, but they're not going to go out of their way to change the bar's ambiance for the handful of people that might be showing up to watch the game.

[Ski]

Also, I'm making a conscious, preemptive effort to be less kneejerky today, so by all means, give me a temp ban if I say anything especially out of line.

yeah, i wouldn't expect them to unless it were the super bowl or game 7 of a WS or something.

 

also, as for that ban request if you say anything stupid

serious question

 

and i'm far from the OMG CLUTCH guy

 

how many of you guys' buttholes are gonna clench up if we're up a run or two or tied in the late innings and bring strop in?

Does it count if there's no way I'd unclench in that situation no matter who was pitching, aside from Arrieta?

in that case, more than usual then.

 

like with rondon there should only be a little clench.

not sure i get this lineup. garcia has reverse splits.

Schwarber...doesn't.

[UMFan83]

Today seems like a good day to beat the St. Louis Cardinals.

[Bull]

Schwarber...doesn't.

exactly. I like Rizzo and Montero here, not sure I trust Schwarber and Coghlan. and as much as I hate to say it, I wouldn't mind lastella if Garcia throws that many fastballs and has reverse splits.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-1 with Bill Welke behind home plate.............

Are you worried that Hendrix doesn't have experience? :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cardinals pitching staff, to their credit, has slowed our offense down somewhat..........

Has anyone posted how Hendricks has done against the Cardinals this year?

 

Edit: somehow he only managed to face them once this year, in STL in early May. He gave up 4 ER in 5 IP.

 

But he did face them 3 times last year, 2 really good starts and one ok one

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok, what the hell does "Millenium Kyle" mean on the TBS graphic? Did that have any significance, or was it just a very odd typo?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Really TBS? You think that is Kris Bryant?

Probably to his advantage that he only saw the Cardinals once, and it was 5 months ago.

 

Yes but that's still one more time than the Cubs have seen Garcia this year.

Yeah, that was ridiculous.
