10/13 Cardinals (Lackey) @ CUBS (HAMMEL), TBS, 3:37 CT

[Billy_Buck]

With a win the Cubs would be the first team to advance to the LCS round.

 

GO CUBS!

Honestly I'm more concerned about the offense hitting Lackey, short rest and on the road considered, than Hammel having a bad outing. They just haven't been able to figure him out all year, but we'll see.

 

I'm confident they'll hit him and Hammel will be good either way

1 win away...yes the Cardinals will always have their stupid 11 titles and 2 recent ones..one playoff series won't change the historical dominance. But if we can get that one win and eliminate the Cardinals...for the first time we can stand up to their fans and feel good about ourselves (in baseball terms only, we always feel better about ourselves in every other aspect of life). Sure there have been years where the Cubs are clearly better than the Cardinals, years where we went to the playoffs and they didn't, memories like the Sandberg game and the 5 game series in 03 where we bested them, but never have any of us been able to stand toe to toe with the Cardinals and feel a sense of superiority. We will have played the stupid pixie dust douchebag mouth breathers and personally ended their season. Yes the fact that the Cubs have advanced in the playoffs will be the more important takeaway from the series, but in terms of the historical rivalry, that is what's at stake today.

 

I don't know man, I refuse to put so many eggs in this basket now. Cubs are set up to be good for a long time. We're going to beat them this year, but ultimately I'm satisfied that our franchise is finally set up for consistent success rather than having all our eggs in the short term. That's what is fueling my Cubs world now, and it feels much better than '03, '07, '08.

 

Let's enjoy tonight. But what's at stake is a victory in the NLDS, and moving one step closer to the World Series. The historical rivalry will be impacted as we continually face-off with the Cards and beat them, year after year.

 

I'm so surprised that you're hedging your bets. Shocked I say.
