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

[CubmanPi]

Closed the computer and have been watching the game with the family. Catching up:

 

1) Stfu, Buck and Smoltz. There is no controversy over the Gonzalez out at the plate. By the time his hand actually touched the plate, it was unclear whether or not the tag had been (awesomely) applied to his jaw.

2) I can't believe Zobrist got waved home.

3) ADDY DONG!!!!!

4) [expletive] Rizzo almost dong'd/[expletive] Rizzo should have walked/DONGDONGDONGDONG!!!!!!

5)No Horseface, we're not horsefeathering kidding you. The best way to blow a 5-run lead is to spot them baserunners with no one out. We're carrying a lefty-heavy bullpen for a reason.

6) Thank you for holding them to 2 runs, Monty.

7) After 5 more insurance runs, I have officially gone from throwing myself off a cliff to 100% confidence in winning this series. Tyler Perry's Maeda gets shelled tomorrow while Lester shines, and Kershaw's postseason mystique is shattered. Cubs in 6.

It will soon occur to the Dodgers that they'll have to find time tomorrow to pack for a quick trip to Chicago... 8-)

Has anyone checked Cubs.com lately? My mobile loads it, but then it's a grey screen.

I think maybe everybody should use Scissors' bats the rest of the postseason

[USSoccer]

Scissors bat is the real MVP tonight

[KatJ]

Shut the horsefeathers up Buck. "If he can connect it's a 5 run game."

 

Yeah, WTF was that??

 

Whatever. If Joe used Rogaine on a regular basis he might get his hair back too.

Fine on my laptop.

 

Damn, should have dropped.

Please save some hits for the next two games, Rizzo.

[Brian]

assuming this lead holds, Soccer I think you need to do a name for Lester for the title of the game thread, not sure what it should be... maybe Redassed Lester?

[Careless]

"Left hamstring tightness" for CEJ apparently

[Brian]

left hamstring tightness, that doesn't sound too ominous perhaps a nice massage will knock it out

He's a rookie. Maybe a vet springs for the hooker.

Rizzo is now hitting .250 during the NLCS

[ScrubMD]

Dodgers are very unhappy with the ump that Cubs pitchers are hitting the corners.

Pete Rose looks like a cartoon character

All those empty expensive seats, the Dodgers don't deserve to win this series with crappy fans like that. Edited October 20, 2016 by Hunter

He better tread lightly

We've moved on to the Joe Buck reviews movies portion of the evening

[RammyFanny]

Couldn't pinpoint why I hate Ruiz. Just realized he looks far too much like fat Caesar Izturis for my liking.

I'm open for suggestions if anyone has one. The Lackey one was just so natural.

[UMFan83]

I always hate the NBA and NHL playoffs for having so many days off between games but I must say right about now I wish I had a day off to enjoy this win instead of immediately going into "huge game to decide whether you can clinch on Saturday or have to beat Kershaw to stay alive" day
