Maddon's like "let's crush some dongs and go home!"

So jealous of the AL DH

well i mean on the flip side, its better for a pitcher to face another pitcher at the 9 spot than a DH.

What do you think is more likely, if it happens, let's say we get 4 innings in then there's rain for like 1-2 hours. Do they suspend the game and finish it tomorrow or do you think they wait it out and play until like 1-2 in the morning?

 

I stole this from GRB, which was from wikipedia....

 

"in the Major League Baseball postseason, regardless of inning, all games stopped at any time for weather are considered suspended and continued from the point of stoppage when play resumes, no matter if the game has not reached the requirements above.[4] This rule was put into place as a result of Game 5 of the 2008 World Series, which was the first postseason game in history to be suspended and resumed from the point of suspension. Prior to the 2009 postseason, a playoff game had to have at least five innings completed in order to be suspendable; a playoff game stopped prior to that point had to be started over. An example was Game 1 of the 1982 National League Championship Series, which reached the top of the fifth inning, but had to be restarted from scratch the next day."

If the forecast is correct, it's not clearing until well after "1-2 AM". I bet they'd resume Thursday.

Good luck, Trevor

is Wood pitching today?

That's some top notch troll game.

[minnesotacubsfan]

A bagful of razors

[Cubswin11]

I would not be surprised if "Jason Mollett" is an alias Theo uses to troll people

[Billy_Buck]

Cubs should unfurl the Trojan Horse plan, and send Bauer a gift-wrapped drone during BP.

I'm not responsible for that one, but looks like we're throwing everything at 'em: Contreras, Soler, Trojan Horse...

i couldn't believe how many futility and choke related signs i saw last night from horsefeathering CLEVELAND INDIANS fans

 

jose mesa and tony fernandez for crying out loud

Jesus THAT guy. He even had back up signs that read "1984 and 2003 Chokers" really? You're gonna go for 1984 here?

 

If you're the type of guy that wants to rag on the other team when you're favorite team is in the WORLD SERIES I got nothing for you

[gobigred]

I had a few people try to give me crap today about the game last night..I said I am Cubs fan and YOU are making fun of them for losing a WORLD SERIES game? Please life is pretty good right now...Bartman jokes will end now that we have made a Series ...at least I would think they would

[17 Seconds]

somebody at game 3 should hold up a sign that says "you are from cleveland"

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I felt a lot better about this game before I remembered who is pitching for us.

 

Arrieta has a 4.19 FIP since the all-star break. Bauer's not exactly better, but this isn't some amazing matchup for us.

There's a good chance half the guys on the team don't even know who/what the Bartman reference is and certainly have no clue about the horsefeathering 1984 Cubs which almost all the meaningful guys weren't even born yet.

Oh, Steve. Yeah, he's the guy who picks up our jock straps after the game and washes the uniforms. Good guy that Steve

Maybe it's a bitter White Sox fan with no life.

so the rizzo tshirt/bryant jersey combo that got me through games 4, 5, and 6 (as well as the bar that i went to for games 4 and 5) failed me last night.

 

where do i go from here?
