10/15 - NLCS Game 1: Dodgers (Maeda) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:08 PM CT FS1/670

[UMFan83]

The Dodgers. The mother horsefeathering Dodgers. You know who isn't scared of the Dodgers (besides everyone)? This man:

Jon had a rough start against the Dodgers this year. He gave up a HR to the first batter he faced, some dude named Enrique Hernandez. Then he was like 'horsefeathers this' and went on to pitch 15 straight scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He's good and he is kryptonite for the Dodgers because of the hand he pitches with.

 

So really the rest of the breakdown doesn't matter. The Cubs will win this game. They will then beat up on the rented mule with the bad back. Then head to LA and beat One Pitch Rich followed by whatever unlucky soul they choose to go out there in Game 4.

 

8 more wins til the promised land.

 

Go Cubs!

Any guess who the Dodgers are going to start for game 1?

Maeda.

 

If you mean game 2, Urias makes the most sense.

Kurkjian says Cubs in 7. I'll take it however we can get it, but taking 7 games would be disappointing.

Any series ending with the Cubs going to the world series is not disappointing.

No he's right. If we don't win the rest of our games and finish the playoffs 11-1 it doesn't count according to White Sox fans

[badger]

You just want to be seen in the same light as Logan and Butters. It isn't gonna happen.

I think I deserve some damn respect if my game threads win 9 straight playoff games and deliver the championship.

 

ok ok it will likely be in spite of me

a game 7 might wreck my intestines but would be a lot of fun too

 

I just want a taste of the promised land

[Brian]

It's going to be very hard for this to be less enjoyable than last years NLCS.

that is a nice thing: at this point its almost guaranteed that the Cubs have a more successful postseason than the 2015 Cubs

[CubmanPi]

I'm over the joy of the Cubs having yesterday off. Now get on with some baseball.

[Boris]

Is the schedule correct with 8 EST being the start time for the games in LA?

 

If so... :yahoo:

[Old Style]

I've got commitments Saturday night 10/22 so I need the Cubs to win in 4 or 5 games.

Maeda.

Game 2 is likely Kershaw. Urias also pitched yesterday.

But Urias didn't also throw 110 pitches on tuesday after throwing 101 pitches on Friday and doesn't have a bad back that he missed a good chunk of the season with.

go cobs

[minnesotacubsfan]

I look at the Dodgers staff, blowing through pitchers and our staff, well rested and set up. Even Monty will have 5 days of rest. I want to destroy them

I'm in Phoenix for a wedding tomorrow evening. This will require me to miss Game 1 ditch the reception and walk a block to the sports bar.
