10/18 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Mets (Syndergaard), TBS, 7:07 CT

[SpongeWorthy]

They held serve at home, so now we have to too. The series doesn't start until a team loses at home. Here's an anecdote about a time another team came back from a similar situation to win. Something about my feelings and the team's feelings and a vague implication that they are intertwined and guiding fate's hand.

 

did you conjure this post using your sperglord madlibs book

[UMFan83]

I don't know.. I'm just not worried. Something about this team has me pretty calm.

 

You should be a little worried. Any team down 2-0 with their 3 and 4 starters who can barely go 5 innings most starts going in the next 2 should be cause for concern.

what should the theme for the next game thread be? im kind of feeling "bad 90s songs"

 

this is happening.

Does Lester have any history on 3 days rest?

 

Win or lose on Tuesday, I would really like to see him pitch Wednesday to line him up for a potential Game 7, however unlikely that may be.

 

I'm afraid it just may be asking too much at this point for Hendricks and Hammel to throw 3 of the possible 5 remaining games.

[KatJ]

jk

 

I thought that sounded a tad too optimistic, was thinking you'd dipped into the shrooms a little. Or a lot.

[Soonernation]

On the plus side Bryant hit the ball well tonight now if only some other guys would step up.

I don't know I'm petrified at asking Jon to do anything other than pitching every 4 days. Fielding, hitting, pickoffs, in general throwing the ball anywhere but to the plate, running, pitching on more than 4 days rest, pitching on less than 4 days rest

hurry up jersey with the new thread it's time to turn this [expletive] around

Yeah I was happy with #RoadBryant tonight. Him and Fowler were pretty much the other 2 that did anything of note offensively tonight

How the [expletive] do we get so fucked over on bullshitty luck two games in a row. It doesn't make any [expletive] sense.

[TysonCBulls423]

Whats the forecast look like next weekend in New York?

[TMan92]

We will make this interesting. We may not win the series but we are not going to be swept.

It happens like a thousand times a year. And it happens to literally 90% of the playoff teams each year.

[UMFan83]

Jake being asked about the drop in his velocity tonight. Can anyone verify this? That's not a good sign for any future starts.

[KatJ]

I sure hope you're right. I hate most things New York.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

OK, this time there actually was a wolf.

Yeah I'm not counting today as a bad luck loss

[Irrelevant Dude]

Maddon is playing the theme from Rocky in his office. I like it.

 

Let Rocky lead the way for the next game thread!

You seem like fun

[UMFan83]

Am I reading that right Kyle? Looks like Snydergaard got 8 called strikes on pitches outside the strike zone while Jake got 0?
