8/28 Cubs (Lester) @ Dodgers (Stewart), 3:10 PM, CSN/TBS

[Schwarber Fan]

Good evening everyone. I'm currently stopped over in Indiana on a cross-country drive so I wanted to get this up before I forgot.

 

The Cubs and Dodgers play their final regular season game of 2016, but it is very possible they see each other in October. Also, I know he's not all that well-liked around these parts, but this could be the final Cubs game called by Vin Scully. CSN is going to air his play-by-play during the 3rd inning.

 

On to the pitching matchup...

goes for the Cubs

 

Some guy named Brock Stewart pitches for the Dodgers. His ERA is above 11. Scary to think what it might be after this game.

 

Finally...

Holy horsefeathers.

 

I came to the realization after Saturday's game that all of the games I have watched with my dad this year the Cubs have lost. That's 3 in person and 6 on TV. We have season tickets we will be most definitely using come playoff time. The Cubs really need to start winning some of those games before then.

What the horsefeathers is a Brock Stewart?

[LeftCoastCubFan]

I'll be at the game. Better win Cubs.

Well, there's another option. I mean, for the good of the Cubs.

If Heyward goes on a tear the rest of the regular season and playoffs, I won't ever complain about one of your overreactionary Game Thread posts again.

That's what I'm saying; they need to win at least one game we're watching otherwise I must bail.

I was 7-0 and my brother was 6-0 during the regular season last year and we both ended up 0-1 in the playoffs. Maybe you will be the opposite of us.

West coast trips are supposed to be really difficult (I'm not sure if they are statistically different than other road trips but players always talk about how it's the toughest trip of the year) I like how we are guaranteed to leave this one with a still commanding division lead.

I'm drinking heavily and on some pain killers trying to see how long I can sit through a Vin Scully broadcast. I really hope he starts talking about Anthony Rizzo's genealogy for 10 minutes

[NotSoSober]

Hewyard with a 7 game hitting streak?

[BigSlick]

Reverse Jinx name change for Rondon Fan works!

[Gilby]

I'm kinda surprised this guy is #43 on the Dodgers' SP depth chart; his stuff is pretty electric.

[BigSlick]

Please stop having a 66% strike out rate against the guy with a 10 Era, please and thank you

[NotSoSober]

i guess neither team feels like swinging the bat today

[ScrubMD]

This is stupid and I don't like it.

[TomtheBombadil]

I love 92-95 Lester

[ScrubMD]

Magic number: 20

[Ding Dong Johnson]

for the love of the game, please end this inning...

[Sammy Sofa]

Magic number: 20

 

I wonder what all of the pixie dust horsefeathers nuts here think of how terrible the Cardinals are at home while being so good on the road.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

do you get it? because Vince Cully (7 year old me thought that was his name for a long time) was in that movie

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I enjoyed the 1 inning of Vin Skully. It's been so long since I have heard him call a game so that was fun while it lasted.

[NotSoSober]

Team must have partied hard last night . I expect Bryant to be pulled for flu like symptons soon
