10/11 - NLDS Game 4 - Dusty's Gone Fishin' (A sickly Dickensian orphan) @ Corbs (The Bearded Bastard) 3:08 CST - TBS

[Brian]

I still think there's a decent chance Roark gets the start tomorrow

 

start packing his locker for the offseason.

[Banedon]

"A chance"....oh god if they go back to Roark.....

 

[ConstableRabbit]

This is funniest/stupidest/Dustiest thing ever. Can't wait to lay waste to this clown ass team.

[minnesotacubsfan]

This isnt really funny at all. I dont want to face Strasburg again

[Banedon]

[ConstableRabbit]

He no-hit us through 5 last time. Do you really think that's happening again?

If he's not sick (which is a big if), the chaos surrounding this can't be good for his focus.

It could.

[Brian]

if he does pitch, I want an NLCS Gm. 6 Kershaw moment where we see his soul crushed

[minnesotacubsfan]

But even if it didnt, hes still a very good pitcher and if Arrieta gives up 4 runs like he can, id feel a whole lot better against Roark

Nah.

[Brian707]

Vegas has not adjusted the line or taken it down yet. FWIW

[Cubswin11]

Dusty right now thinking he pulled one over

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

shamed into it like i feared

 

i hope he's sick as horsefeathers

Whether it was gamesmanship or Strasburg being shamed into starting, I think a few of us had a feeling this might happen.

This is all Boras' plan to make Jake look like a bad ass. He already made his money on Strasburg. Edited October 11, 2017 by TMan92

I can see the TBS narratives for tonight's game already. The courage of Stephen Strasburg!

i don't think it was gamesmanship. too much other stuff going on. lots of obvious incompetence and agitated mike rizzo, etc.

Figured I'd take a shot here first. I have four tickets to today's game I can no longer use, section 508/509 (middle of the aisle, all together). Paid $100/each, cheapest/only tickets in that section are going for $95/each on Stubhub right now. Given the Stubhub fees, if anyone wants them at $100/each, I get my money back and you probably end up coming out a little bit ahead by not paying the Stubhub fees (just checked, all in it's $460 on Stubhub).

 

If anyone wants them, PM me. I'll give you guys until noon before putting them up there.

[ScrubMD]

lol what a garbage franchise. 15-2 Cubs.

And the Nationals get their 2 runs in Lackey's 3rd inning of relief.

[Banedon]

3.5 hours before gametime and the Nats don't know who's starting for them.

 

I'm sure that's good for "creatures of habit".
