10/17 - NLCS Game 3 - dodgers (Darvish) @ World Champs (Prof. Hendricks) - 8:00

[PackLandVA]

I had a dream last night. The Cubs are winning this series and Alex Avila is gonna get a huge hit. We have celebrated on the Cards turf, the Nats turf, and we will celebrate on the Dodgers turf.

 

Why not make it Houston's turf, too, while you're at it!

There is no going back to fix things. The future is set in motion. We are doomed

That was 2015, stop living in the past

[Ding Dong Johnson]

do you guys remember when Kris Bryant played for the cobs? I'd like to see a "where are they now" piece on that hunk of man meat

[17 Seconds]

kris bryant is a dream of a player and i can't imagine giving a horsefeathers about his struggles this postseason

I can't force the visions, Pack. The peyote is only so strong.

[Jaxbro]

Win turds.

 

But alas the bullpen is broke and lost. The offense has gone all snafu. And Yu was the piece that made these super dodgers completely unbeatable

[Sammy Sofa]

Unless these guys get off to a quick romp, I'm gonna continue my binging of Mindhunters instead.

[Bote McBoteface]

Cubs are gonna win this game by a lot.

[Omar]

i hear he models for express now

[gobigred]

Man teaching middle school in LA sucks right now...Kids are now all of a sudden Doyers fans and are annoying as hell. If they win this series can it at least wait until the weekend.

Looks intriguing, I will start it after the Cubs win the WS on or around Halloween

horsefeathers that. Yu's a horsefeather and so is the rest of that team. They're just lucky that rain prevented us from ending the Nationals series against Roark on Tuesday and resting up, because then they wouldnt even have any NLCS wins to hang their hat on this offseason.

 

Edit: holy crap how is B not auto-censored? Sorry about that

Well if the bullpen didn't implode against Washington in game 2 the Cubs would have been resting the same as the Dodgers

apparently you aren't familiar with jaxbro's reverse jinx posts in basically every game thread for the past 3 weeks or something

It feels like '07, '08. For the first time in 2-and-a-half years, I expect bad thing with the Cubs at the plate.

 

End this pain. Tonight the juggernaut returns!

[squally1313]

Oh cool, let me definitely read an in-depth statistics based article on a seven game sample size. Seems useful.

 

Like, it's fun in a YCPB type of way, but that's about it.

[Hunter]

I want an offensive explosion like WS game 6.

[Cubswin11]

In Games 2 and 3 last year in the NLCS we scored 0 runs on 7 hits combined in those 2 games. This horsefeathers happens in the playoffs, I’m optimistic we can overcome it.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's kinda goofy when sample size sentiment mutates into this thing where people are this close to seemingly just flat out refusing to believe what's happened.

 

Nobody is saying that the Cubs in these last 7 games are the Cubs going forward, like this is who they're doomed to be. Its pointing out that, yes, even by the small sample-size standards of a stretch in the playoffs against excellent pitching, the Cubs' bats have been REALLY bad/cold/ineffective/whatever descriptor offends people the least, and that that's surprising for a team that has hit so well, even with the context of a 7 game stretch in the playoffs against excellent pitching.

 

Like, there's taking a dip in the playoffs as expected, and then there's whatever level of hell the bats have descended to at this point.
