Win Cubs. I refuse to believe this season is going to end on a four-game sweep by the Mets.

Also I just want to point out that I'd much rather watch the Cubs try to keep their season alive down 0-3 than be counting the days until the Winter Meetings.

 

The sun came up today, its gonna be 78 degrees, and the Cubs have an NLCS game at Wrigley tonight. Not much better than that.

Mark Bellhorn, you're up.

I would do something cray today like DL Berry and Rodney, call up Pierce Johnson (to start Game 4) and Eddy Julio Martinez to start in the OF.

That's not a bad plan except that it's against the rules.

This is going to be epic, guys. Starting tonight. It was written.

 

Red Sox came back from down 3-0 to the NY Yankees to win the ALCS and eventually end their long championship drought/Cubs have a long championship drought and down 3-0 to a NY baseball team.

Red Sox were a Wildcard team/Cubs are a wildcard team

Red Sox were at home and won on a walk-off dong/Cubs are dongsmiths.

Back To The Future predicted the Cubs would win the World Series this year.

Marty McFly traveled to Sept 21, 2015. Today is Back To The Future Day.

 

It was written. It ends tonight. The curse, the lovable loser moniker, the beginning of the Mets end.

We can do it!

Also, its a bad plan.

You just have to believe!

Our one shining moment!

I'm not ready to give up on this team. If anyone can come back from 0-3, it's these guys. I'll echo the sentiments from earlier in this thread. Find a way to win tonight and then you have Lester & Arrieta for Games 5 & 6 which gives us a good shot to win those two. If Game 7 rolls around, all bets are off.

[ScrubMD]

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted. One moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Nothing is over until we decide it is.

Honestly, Maddon should show the Belushi speech from Animal House right before they take the field today. That should get the point across while also loosening everyone up.

[ScrubMD]

Clear eyes, full hearts, America can't lose.

What's all this lying around [expletive]!?

Win game 4 means Lester/Arrieta to push a game 7.

 

find a way to win game 4 and the path becomes clear

 

It's kind of weird how it matches up with the Red Sox in 2004.

 

Playing a division winning NY team as the WC team.

Both teams started their best two pitchers in Games 1 and 2 (Lester/Arrieta, Schilling/Pedro).

Both teams starting a weaker starter in Game 4 (Lowe an 89 ERA+, Hammel 105).

Both teams have best two pitchers set up for Games 5 and 6.

Long World Series drought.

 

Plus (from Michael Schur): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Rh40ciRlU&feature=youtu.be&t=1m6s

 

And I just got myself a little excited for Game 4.

 

So I guess Quentin Berry stars in the role of Dave Roberts? :)

You know the way to my heart.

 

Unlike Bellhorn who would see 30 pitches in his 4 AB's per game, this team is accelerating their AB's as each game goes on. They've worked Thor and Jacob in the first 3-4 innings and just rush to try to make something happen. Mark was cool as they come and just took the bat off his shoulder to strike out on the 6th pitch of the AB or homer.

He should show the Belushi speech from Mr. Destiny.

[Billy_Buck]

This is just the start of something great. Win tonight and make it even better.

 

Go Cubs!
