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

What rocket is pointing out is that rational outcomes are not possible when you are a Cubs fan.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs looked like complete lifeless garbage after getting trounced by the Cardinals in game one, and I swear there's, like, at least ten times more panic after losing an unlucky first game against the stupid Mets in a 7 game series with Arrieta going the next day.

Stakes are higher, everything is amplified.

 

That said we are fine assuming we win tonight

The highs are amplified too

[Sammy Sofa]

It is possible the Cubs lose this game tonight. Nothing wrong with calling tonight a must win situation.

mojo's face turn into confident dong witnesser is like my favorite thing in the world right now

 

and he's exactly right. that is loser talk. some of you have the resolve of a marshmallow in open flame. the actual cubs aren't afraid of losing, so why the [expletive] are you?

[Sammy Sofa]

"BY GAWD; IS THAT SAMMY SOFA'S MUSIC?!?!?"

Because we're fans. Sorry dude, I'm not a prophet and I can't predict all the dongs and the surety in which we were supposed to win last night's game.

[Sammy Sofa]

Listen, bud; we've already got one robot in David and he's got radioactive blood.

[seanimal]

and also the stakes are not higher. the team has yet to play in a game with as high of stakes as the wc play-in in pittsburgh. so much pant [expletive] after a game we very much could have won, in a series where we have more losses to give than any of the previous contests. have some perspective and stop being so [expletive] fragile

Lol. Hey man, nothing wrong with being honest about our feelings -- good or bad. Robots can be negative ..... or positive.

No one's panicking, at least not me. Am I a little concerned? Sure. Am I cautiously optimistic about tonight's game? Yeah. Am I as dead set sure we are going to win this series? No.

 

I want to see the Cubs in the World Series just as anybody here.

Lol what did I do? I'm supremely confident that we will win this game

Edit: went back through the thread, I'm clean. As I said supreme confidence

Everyone needs to just have fun with this team. They've already given us the most enjoyable season of our lives. I don't give a [expletive] if it sounds corny or not, but this group has EARNED a little positivity from us. I've been scared shitless in each postseason we've been to in my life. No more. This group has changed that defeatist attitude in me.

 

They're a true [expletive] pleasure to watch in every way. They fight their [expletive] asses off, they're having a blast themselves, they're super [expletive] talented, and most of them are going to be around a really long time.

 

So stop being [expletive] negative for once. Give in and just trust that this group is going to change your idea of how [expletive] has to be.

[kente777]

OK. Cubs will win 32-0.

[UMFan83]

 

I think this means "it's cold out"

[kente777]

Low of about 36 tonight.

[UMFan83]

Come on lineup, I'm waiting for you despite it being inconsequential

i won't go back and read

that's correct

[Derwood]

Night games suck balls. What the hell am I supposed to do to kill 4 more hours?

[UMFan83]

Lineup is out. Coghlan replaces Soler is the big change.
