Let's remember folks, the Cubs weren't supposed to get this far this year. I predicted 86-88 wins this year. We have a bright future. Sad to end it this way, but this team gave me a lot of fun...more fun than I've ever had with any Cubs team.

 

We'll have more talent and more experience next year. It'll be an interesting off-season.

 

In Theo I trust.

 

Till next year, Cubbies.

Assuming this game goes like we expect, the Cubs will have trailed at some point in 34 out of 36 innings in the series.

 

Only innings we didn't trail at all were the 2nd and 5th innings yesterday

They've mailed it in. Fans deserve better.

 

Absolute poppycock.

You really believe this is the best the Cubs can do?

 

I mean... a lot of it is [expletive] luck and poor timing. But I also believe they're putting their heads down when the going's gone tough instead of saying '[expletive] this [expletive], we can do better.' Just look at the Royals this year and last.

 

None of this is quantifiable, but I believe mindset is huge and does make a difference. Not the only thing that matters, mind you, but as bad as we've looked this series, you can't say this is the best we've got.

What's happening right now won't change the fact this has been the most fun I've ever had in a Cubs season.

 

But holy [expletive], this is hard to [expletive] watch.

I don't think anyone's forgetting that. I'm head over heels that we are playing baseball on October 21st.

Yes. Hats off to what occurred this season. Epic without even reaching the finale. Amazing season.

 

Go Cubs Go!

is that accurate? you believe there is no God and that the universe is an indifferent blackness....but you also believe in voodoo and magic?

God do you really believe this? Maddon is like the best manager in baseball at making sure the players are in the best mindset possible.

That's okay. So did the Cubs in the NLCS, except for Mark Grace... who was matched swing for swing by Will Clark.
