Oh, the "Here Be Dragons" forum.

 

I only mentioned it because they just talked about it on the broadcast

I figured. I was showing you so maybe you'd feel older.

Is he still going to sit on Dusty's lap after they lose to us in the NLCS?

Lol, Dusty. I feel like the only reason he left Gio in to face Ruiz there was so Gio could get the win Edited October 10, 2016 by Cubswin11

I might be weird but I also much prefer watching games where the players and fans don't look miserably cold. Playing half the world series in a depressing city like Cleveland and the other in 40 degree Wrigley would be lame. Give me the warm Dong Dome in Toronto.

Maybe he takes him out here, and hands him the ball so he doesn't feel as bad about not getting the W?

You know what's a thousand times lamer than cold baseball? Baseball in a horsefeathering dome with artificial turf.

Did this game really start 3 hours ago?

[minnesotacubsfan]

It's LA, they had to wait for everyone to show up

Seriously, at this rate the game will overlap with ours

Jesus Christ Mauricio Rubio is bad.

Jesus Christ Mauricio Rubio is bad.

 

He's taking this opportunity with the Nats ABOUT TO go up 2-1 in a series to plant his flag against the "narrative" that Dusty is a bad manager.

what a crisp dinger...

Yeesh. Dodgers either have to go with Urias and his limited PC or Kershaw on short rest and Jensen just threw 20 pitches too.

 

On the other hand, Melancon might have to go a third consecutive day tomorrow.

 

Costas and Katt are brutal. Love when MLB is struggling with increasing the young audience and they go on about how much better baseball was back in their day.

9 pitches

yes with a 5 run lead... only 9 pitches though.

It was a close game/save situation going into the 9th so I think he was already loose/warming up. Not that I'm defending Dusty

i mean, i get that....i would've sat him as soon as reddick misplayed that ball, esp considering he was used yesterday.

 

whatever, 9 pitches, but yea

costas bemoaning the DH during game 2 of the cubs/giants game was embarrassing.

Fixed that for you.

6 outs from Red Sox elimination, the Theo World Series would have been cool for a second but glad to have them out of it.

 

Edit - I may have jinxed this

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I don't understand not being more aggressive on that play and throwing home. Papi ain't going to try going to 3rd
