10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1

[Old Style]

Someone hit that jackass behind home plate with the W flag out already.

[ScrubMD]

I just hope we don't have to rely on Lester out of the bullpen in a game 7. The Dodgers figured out that he doesn't like throwing to bases.

[Splendid Splinter]

No one is hitting on purpose at this point, red. But if you want to go to the mound and get beaten half to death, be my guest.

 

That's what I was thinking. Who in their right mind would charge after Pedro Strop?

That might be a factor in this game

[Thusly Boned]

Can we just decline our AB and get to B9? I'm tired

 

Nope, gotta tack on a few more. For Bill Plaschke.

[Brian]

should probably put Kershaw in to keep it close for the bottom of the 9th

[KatJ]

Why the hell am I still nervous?

 

Because we know from personal experience that an 8-run 8th in the LCS is a thing.

I'm starting to dream of what could happen Saturday. horsefeathers Kershaw

 

Same here.

[Derwood]

God damn, Jim Parsons is wearing a lot of make up in those commercials

[Hunter]

I feel we are obligated to score 2 runs to match last night's score.

Where did you hear that? I think you may be onto something.

sleep will be hard to come by tonight. I may use some sick time tomorrow.

[MUCubsfan]

 

Or Lester

 

 

Dodgers fans gotta be Dodgers fans, as the stadium is no half empty

Addy has a strong case as well.

 

I mean, the 2 HRs are great, but until yesterday he'd been awful and Javy has killed it the whole series, so no.

The 2 HR's were both game winning HR's. I'd probably lean Lester, just saying there are multiple guys with cases.

[UMFan83]

 

I feel bad, the fan almost certainly had no idea who Jed was and probably asked if he could take the photo

Not many, but Paul Wilson once charged Kyle Farnsworth, so you never know when or where a momentary lapse in sanity might occur.

[KatJ]

Johnson will ride the arms of Kershaw, Hill, and Jansen the rest of this series. Or until they fall off, whichever comes first.

[Brian]

Addi is just too sexy right now.

[Hawk4Hall]

Russell just wants to hit.

[Brian]

NICE TANKTOP

[Brian]

GOOD JOB UMP, YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

How about we win this horsefeathers and let the MVP sort itself out after. I don't want to think about anything other than the fact that we need to win 1 more and beat Kershaw to get to that point.

 

I think we will but it's a pretty big final hurdle to clear to reach the promised land

Yes please, more videos of Kershaw throwing an imaginary ball

[Hawk4Hall]

How electric is Wrigley going to be on Saturday night? It's gonna be epic.

Man, I remember that. Hell of a haymaker Farnsy threw, iirc.

 

That was rather right up there with Barrett going after that nasty SOB Pierzynski.

Should be throwing towels.
