10/18 NLCS Game 3: Cubs (Jake) @ Dodgers (Rich Hill) & Stupid Old Umpire 7:00 PM CT FS1/670

[Schwarber Fan]

These guys are going to be legitimately tested with adversity for the first real time this season.

 

did you watch the NLDS

 

Yes, and I watched them never trail in a series with the threat of facing Kershaw in his home park against elimination.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

is now a good time to point out that I was right about rich hill

there has to be a statute of limitations on that

[Cubswin11]

We are winning this game still you doom boners

[TMan92]

Please win tonight or tomorrow. Don't want to see the Dodgers win the pennant in person.

 

I am in the same place. Expensive misery porn

[Hawk4Hall]

They have to wake up.

 

Right? Right?

 

 

 

right?

[Bote McBoteface]

I predict that the cubs offense is about to remember that it is the cubs offense and score a bunch of runs.

long con baby

[JonJayCutler]

This is incredibly meatbally, but the target's just too big. Just feels like it's going to take a mediocre 88-win WC Cubs team to finally break through and get it done.

[Guest]

how close was Sutcliffe to finishing the Padres off before the curse kicked in? how close was Prior?

[Cubswin11]

how does one break a curse? is it even possible or is this our lot forever?

There's no such thing as curses you commie bastard

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We are winning this game still you doom boners

 

They might. They probably won't, and they will probably lose the series

[Boris]

how many times do we have to make the playoffs and lose before getting to the series until people start admitting that curses exist?

 

And the potential of watching the Indians take it all.

[David]

I can't believe we can't get a hit off of Rich horsefeathers Hill of all people. Christ.

Maybe your blind hubris in the face of facts was misguided.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

did you watch the NLDS

Being up 2-1 with a chance of going home for a Game 5 is nothing compared to being down 2-1 with Clayton Kershaw lurking

 

Good grief, this isn't fun regardless but the mental gymnastics to exaggerate further are silly. Yes, the Cubs faced plenty of adversity when they won a 1-0 game late, came back in the 9th before losing in extra innings, and then down 3 runs in the 9th facing an elimination game against Cueto. Being down a couple runs midway thru game 3 of a 7 game series is not at the top of the list.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It would be cool if this is one of those games that in a couple hours from now people are laughing at the first 31 pages of this thread and Tim is calling people ninnies. Any chance that can happen?

That's the great thing about curses, you don't have to believe in them for them to be real.

Please don't help sulley. He doesn't need help.

[UMFan83]

Seriously though, Kershaw had a 5.81 ERA in the NLDS and hill 6.75. Ugh

[rocket]

maybe the curse can be broken if sulley leaves

[Ski]

Joe yelling at everyone really couldn't make things any worse. Just to get everyone's heads out of their asses.

[imb]

it's gonna be fun when i go and copy all the bragging horsefeathers from the game 2 thread about how we were gonna light up rich hill and win the series 4-1 into a google doc tonight and then cut myself.

 

We're gonna let rich hill throw 7 shutout against us. the guy who can't take a piss without a blister showing up (not on his dick on his hands i mean)

[MUCubsfan]

Umm... come again?

[Hawk4Hall]

Well whaddya know. A hit! Whoo!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

If you're mad at today's ump, remember that Angel Hernandez is behind home tomorrow.

[TMan92]

Can Bryant bat 9 times
