10/20 Mets (deGrom) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:07 CT, TBS

[jersey cubs fan]

Hey guys guess what, there's still more baseball to be played this October.

 

You may remember me from such winning streaks as this year's first 6 game winning streak that began on 5/11, against the nymets and degrim. That was pretty fun.

:flythew: :flythew: :flythew: :flythew: :flythew: :flythew:

 

Those two Mets win do mean the Cubs will have to head back to Queens to finish off this series, but that's all good because it's actually going to get up to about 60 next weekend, which is warm enough to whip out your dong.

 

Anyway, first things first they need to beat this jambroni.

The game is on a Tuesday and everybody knows Tuesday is for tacos, so give your best and enjoy the baseball.

[Old Style]

Please win. I'm not ready for this season to be over.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hendricks will hold this weak sauce lineup down, and our dongers will dong.

 

Hammel is going to pitch the game of his life on Wednesday.

 

One game at a time.

Who are you and what have you done with Rondon Fan?

[Andy]

I should probably be freaking the hell out but I'm just not. Our dongsmiths are capable of winning games by themselves. We just won Hendricks/Hammel starts last series. If our offense picks back up, we'll win. Not much else to it.

[ConstableRabbit]

The dongers gonna dong dong dong dong dong dong.

[rocket]

according to olney we have a 21.3% chance of still winning. that's better than i would have guessed!!!!

Cubs next opponent

 

[Guest]

Kyle will do us all proud. I feel good about this game.

[Flames24Rulz]

I feel like if we win this game, we win the series. Thank god for warmer weather here.

[Guest]

Hendricks will hold this weak sauce lineup down, and our dongers will dong.

 

Hammel is going to pitch the game of his life on Wednesday.

 

One game at a time.

 

Who are you and what have you done with Rondon Fan?

 

The game hasn't started yet. One first inning run and he will return to normal.

[CubInOK]

I predict 4 dongs. All come with men on base, so 11 runs this game.

[imb]

so not only will i not be able to watch this game, i won't even have cell service. go cubs?

[imb]

double post so whatever Edited October 19, 2015 by Bunts Lick Butts

[Guest]

according to olney we have a 21.3% chance of still winning. that's better than i would have guessed!!!!

 

Not sure where he got his number but Fangraphs still has us at 23.4%. Gotta be a combination of still having 3 home games left and Fangraphs believing we're the better team.

 

Someone correct my math if it's wrong, but assuming each game was 50/50, I believe we'd be at 18.75% to win the series. Going with the 4% home field bump (so 54-46 for the home team), I believe we'd be at 19.67%.

[Brian]

If there was any team I would have confidence in to turn this series around it's the 2015 Chicago Cubs.

 

If there was any team I would have confidence in to completely fold and suck at this point it's any other Cubs team I've ever seen.

[Brian]

One thing is for sure, Hendricks is full of confidence and ready to fly the W.

Go Cubs Go. I trust the professor.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Mets were the worst team to get into the playoffs from the NL. God I'd hate to lose this thing to them

[ctcf]

tbf that's like his default face
