10/19 Cubs (Dickbag McHorseteeth) vs Dodgers (Urias) 7 p.m., FS1

[KatJ]

You mad, Joe Buck?

 

Sounding like Richard Sherman in my neck of the woods.

Hey Smoltz, how about giving Baez credit for the sacrifice fly? If you are going to continually question his ability to advance runners, maybe acknowledge when he does exactly what he is supposed to do.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I am enjoying myself more than I was this time last night.

SMOLTZ STILL MANAGES TO POINT OUT ZOBRIST'S MISTAKE. Unbelievable.

 

Actually, he was pointing out Pederson's mistake of not hitting the cutoff and costing them an out.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, I may even go to bed on time now.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

does pederson's hat/helmet ever stay on

 

he's hollywood hunter pence

[USSoccer]

The whole team has done a much better job going with pitches all night. Guys trying to hit to opposite field, making good contact. Much much better approach

[squally1313]

This is fun and all, but as we all decided last night, our offense sucks and is broken, so winning two more games will be exceedingly difficult.

[Billy_Buck]

5 more please, just to be safe

:hello:

This has probably already been said, but Pederson's haircut is like the douchiest haircut ever.

Interesting how this site moves much faster when we have a strong lead. I suspect a lot of Cardinal fans love reading our misery porn.

 

Yeah, is there any way to make it members only during games?

 

Great question. A lot of sports forums do this

[UMFan83]

God we are so stupid. Even the people that make fun of people that worry we're worried

Javys playoff approach has been fantastic and instead of constant reminders of LEG KICK STRIKEOUTS SWING SWING SWING perhaps they could point out that he's seemingly slowed down his ABs to the point where he's our best hitter through 8 playoff games.

Why doesn't Maddon bring in Zalphebet?

[weis21]

joe buck referencing colin cowherd actually makes total sense

[BigbadB]

Larry King looks like he only has another half inning left in him

[soccer10k]

If they throw to first and double up Zobrist after Bryant touches home, the run wouldn't count, right?

[Thusly Boned]

IMB should bump some of his game 2 posts, I guess

[MUCubsfan]

Montgomery almost certainly not available tomorrow night, which isn't the worst thing in the world. Might as well let him get through the 6th and 7th and then have Grimm go the final two innings - I'd rather have Edwards available than Grimm tomorrow.

[bcl412]

Throw strikes. Groove one if you have to.

[Brian]

they're shook

^^^This.

 

They're stuck on the narrative from earlier in the season and his career and can't let it go.

[UMFan83]

Who knew Angel Hernandez was actually a cool dude?

correct

I lean towards it still would since it isn't a force out and Bryant tagged but I've actually never seen that one play out.
