again, what if the cubs do this for 10 years and never get past the nlcs, with a daniel murphy and curts granderson hiding behind every lesser talented team, will you all believe in curses then?

 

Granderson has been a solid player for like 10 years.

 

Murphy's a quality player too. The Mets are a good team and I expect an extremely competitive series.

 

I was going to say this but i was too scared I'd be blasted by the "Murphy is a scrub" brigade. He was probably the best Mets hitter over the course of the entire season. Yes, the power is a bit flukey but this happens in the postseason.

 

Murphy is a deluxe platoon player having the 2 week stretch of his life. In tonight's Mets lineup he is about the 6th or 7th best hitter depending on if you want to account for the opposing starter and platoon advantage.

CUBS are 98-65 (.601) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 3-2 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Wait for the outside change up and take it out the other way. You aren't getting a fastball in the zone.

Next game I'm scrapping the TV and listening to Pat and Ron exclusively. The feed is tardy and I'd rather listen to our guys win or (esp) lose.

game 1 NLDS was hilarious. i was hearing the bat make contact before the pitch was thrown.

I like how the Royals had a magical postseason run last year with only a 30 year WS draught but we can't even have a sliver of positivity this series so far with a 107 year WS draught. [expletive] karma.

Murphy has played in over 140 games the last three years (with over 600 PAs each year) and has 5.6 WAR the last two years (wRCs 107 and 110). He's not this good, because no one is, but if he's their 7th best hitter we are in a lot of trouble.

it's not a curse, it's God using Daniel Murphy as a vessel to voice his disapproval of gay marriage

It's the third inning of game 2.

 

And it's not like it's the NLDS, we've had plenty of awesome magic moments already
