anybody that asked any question remotely close to that should have their credentials revoked, what a waste of [expletive] time

 

Probably Telander.

so i have a friend going into chicago this weekend (jealous) for work. is the rooftops offer that was posted on this site earlier still an option? any other options (short of her dropping a ton of money for actual tickets)?

Where did these come from?

 

i keep making them because they make me laugh because kyle hendricks is a nerd

[CubmanPi]

Walking around Phoenix this weekend covered in Cubs swag, I've been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who stop to have a 30 second conversation about how excited they are about the Cubs. The down side is the number of times people talk about that stupid horsefeathersing curse.

u cant spell "maeda" without an upside down W fyi

 

my favorite thing about that photo (the original) is that they couldn't even find an ironed flag. They literally just took one out of a package and hung it up like 3 seconds before the photo

Yeah, I've seen a couple of rooftops offer similar deals to the one that is posted on the other thread.

It was something comparing him dealing with Boston Curses and Chicago Curses. :banghead:

Which is even better since Lester wasn't there in 04.

you, sir, are awesome.

[TMan92]

And Joe made it official

1 - Lester

2 - Hendricks

3 - Arrieta

4 - Lackey

 

I think I might like to see Monty in game 4

[UMFan83]

Sounds like Kershaw is officially/unofficially starting Sunday. Awesome we will probably get a not as sharp version of Kershaw with less stamina to go deep into the game. Fine by me

You might in the 8th, after Lackey goes 7 strong.

Sometimes OMC rubs people the wrong way with his lawyerly affection for history, the confederacy and libertarianism.

 

But then he does something like this and TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!!!

im going to the wedding of my coworker tomorrow and hes a huge dodger fan

 

apparently there will be no tv at the venue and the ceremony starts at basically first pitch

 

whats the play here

Just don't go and tell him why you didn't go. It wouldn't bother me in the least if a colleague or a friend didn't come to my wedding so he could watch something as important to him as his team in a big playoff game. It would be selfish to think otherwise.

Well according to every comedy movie I've seen, you are suppose to carry a pocket radio with ear buds and the scream loudly during the ceremony when the Cubs dong.

Stream it on a phone/tablet?

yeah they should be asking him real questions, like Lester's opinion on "looker room banter"

nah im gonna go i volunteered to bring a tv and cast the game from my phone but that idea was squashed

 

also the bride is trying to set me up with the MoH so not gonna pass on that

 

will end up streaming the game on my phone and the groom will eventually wander over and get in trouble

Playoff Kershaw has never been peak Kershaw. But strangely, short-rest Kershaw has been better than regular-rest Kershaw overall in the playoffs.

 

All on 3 days' rest:

 

2015- 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 Ks

2014- 6 IP, 4 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks (good compared to his 8 ERs allowed in Game 1 of the same series)

2013- 6 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER (2 R), 1 BB, 5 Ks

[UMFan83]

Wtf. I am reading this Yahoo preview of the series and when they got to looking at the pen they had this line:

 

Behind Chapman there’s Pedro Strop, Trevor Cahill, Travis Wood and Rob Zastryzny, who have all been tremendous.

 

Huh?

It should really be Monty starting with Lackey relieving
