[Brian]

The '15 NL Wild Card game was 1 year ago today, aka when it appears as though we slammed the Pirates current window of relevance shut

 

also one of the last times we saw Schwarbs annihilate a baseball : (

Until he limps out as a ph and sends one to the gods in the WS.

I don't think he's walking with a limp anymore but I'm sure he will pull one off for dramatic effect anyways

Baez or Ross will be donging this evening.

The fall storms have hit Seattle. Gale winds, heavy rain, gloomy grey everywhere, and i couldn't feel more energized. Bring on hell, bring on the Giants

CAN WE FAST FORWARD TO FIRST PITCH PLEASE??????? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Anybody close to Atlanta? Final night at this conference and I've recruited most of the women to go to a bar with me to watch the game (one other guy with us and he will be pulling against the Cubs. Hands may be thrown). They have a sports bar in this hotel but didn't know if there were other recommendations or a Cubs bar in ATL?

This obscenely late start time should be criminal.

take a nap this afternoon like a normal person

 

Can't; having work down on my place and had to be up at the ass crack of dawn for it. I'm hoping for the Cubs handing out an early drubbing so I can pass out after the 4th inning or so.

Holy crap the clock needs to move

No Hammel, no Caesar.

I guess Szczur swoon down the stretch really cemented him off the roster - also Almora is way better defensively and that's probably most of the role Matty would have.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good call on everyone but Seal Boy. He better not be playing 3rd, ever.

[BigSlick]

Between Baez and Bryant, I don't think we'll see any La Stella starts - he'll be a lefty bat on the bench

 

Without Szczur though our righty options on the bench ain't great...some combo of Ross, Baez and Almora

Umm, Soler and Contreras

I have work and have to go to the DVR for this one, but that actually might be making me a touch less nervous.

oh yeah, i'm brain farting really hard right now

[Cubswin11]

I wonder if Joe will go with super defense late in games with leads. Almora/Fowler/Heyward left to right, Bryant/Russell/Baez/Rizzo/whoever is catching 3B to catcher. Edited October 7, 2016 by Cubswin11

I need anything to pre occupy my mind today

I'm waiting for the daily 'Trump says/does something stupid' controversy to take my mind off the game for a bit.

[Cubswin11]

Thank god Joe Smith didn't make it

I haven't seen this possibility discussed yet, but any chance the Giants are considering Bumgarner on 3 days rest for Game 2, which would make him available to start a potential Game 5 on full rest?

Game 2 is tomorrow and he threw almost 120 pitches two days.
