10/12 Cardinals (Wacha) @ CUBS (ARRIETA), TBS, 5:07 CT

[Geech]

So many dongs. I just... I don't even know what to do right now.

 

Open wider.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I hope Russell is good to go, but I have zero concerns about Javy.

It sure would be nice to wrap the series up tomorrow with Javy in there and give Russell a nice rest to be ready for Game 1 of the NLCS.

I actually posted it a few seconds after someone else. But hopefully it gets posted a few more times.

That felt good! :flythew:

[Outshined_One]

Knock Lackey into the sun

 

I want Jorge Soler to hit a ball so hard that it vaporizes Kolten Wong.

KAplan calling Castro "magnificent"

Arrieta was just following the Bumgarner path from last year.

 

Bum CG shutout against Pittsburgh but gave up 3 runs in 7 innings in his second start (Game 3 of the NLDS)

Arrieta CG shutout against Pittsburgh but gave up 4 runs in 5 2/3 innings in his second start.

 

So Arrieta's outing was worse but the Cubs won the Game whereas the Giants lost.

Haven't read the thread, so forgive me if its been stated, but 100 wins on the season total. Unless you were alive in 1945 this is the season you have celebrated more Cubs wins than any other in your life.

Soler turning into a superhuman in the playoffs to completely wipe away any bad taste from his struggles this year has cemented this season as my favorite to have watched as a Cubs fan

[Cubswin11]

I would assume we see rat boy at 2B and Castro at SS if Russell can't go tomorrow, though I'd personally throw Javy back out there for redemption dongs and magnificent defense

[glavine93]

i'm so glad i decided to just go with it and be a terrible employee this week. so fun.

So, everybody but Fred then. Nice.

The thought that makes me smile is, in 14 years when Soler's career is winding down, teams will pick him up to be a bat off the bench just because he does damage to the Cardinals.

[muntjack]

Anybody with Kasper highlights?

With Lackey going tomorrow, that wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd bet we don't see Jorge in all his glory because of that either.

Miggy is so great. I just wish he'd get a couple hits.

Who is rat boy?

[Brian]

Miggy busts out tomorrow

[Sammys Boombox]

Wow not even 20 seconds elapse before throwing it to NY

Two largest markets in the game. Not all that surprising. Don't tell the BFIB

I know but at least give Cubs fans a minute to watch their team celebrate on the field. It's not like we do this a lot.

 

It's like TBS was trying to find the shortest amount of time possible to actually be live at Wrigley tonight. 1 minute of pregame at the park live. No stretch. Never showed the crowd. No Postgame shot of the crowd and the W flags.

This is all the home runs back to back. No replays, just the home runs themselves and footage of the players rounding the bases: http://m.mlb.com/video/v522343083/stlchc-gm3-cubs-hit-six-homers-in-win-over-cards/?game_pk=446251

 

It's more than 3 minutes long.

I don't know how you sit Soler when he is yet to make an out.

[CubInOK]

Soler has become so good he found a way to get on base more than 100% of the time.

Agreed, maybe Coghlan at 2B if no Russell. Tho it has been forever since he played there and he never looked great to me

Who uses the term "plate attempts"
