Red Sox vs Dodgers WS Thread (2018 non Cubs games)

[Cubswin11]

The VBs had 13 total hits in their series this weekend, so of course they swept

Baseball is garbage and we should hope it collapses before football does.

[ConstableRabbit]

So 2 games up going into our series? Gotta somehow win 2 of 3

No, we don’t.

No, we don’t.

 

 

You’re right we don’t. I realize there are

Other games after this series

We only have to win the division by one game.

No, we don’t.

 

i guess you could argue how definitive "gotta" is, but winning the series is way more important now than it looked like it was going to be a few days ago. merely avoiding a sweep isn't as acceptable as it was before. the difference between losing/winning 2 of 3 is pretty huge.

[Brian]

The Angels have a no hitter going (7 innings) in what appears to be a bullpen game, first guy got 4 outs next guy 5 then 1IP each for the next 4 guys

 

edit: I jinxed that real fast (it was Cub product Blake Parker that lost it too)

[NotSoSober]

Carpenter strikes out looking in the bottom of the 9th with runners on 2nd & 3rd. Pirates win 4-3

[David]

Carpenter takes strike 3 looking on a full count with the winning run on 2nd. Cardinals lose.

other than a general dislike for anything good ever happening to the cardinals or their fans, don't we kinda want the cardinals to get the 2nd WC? would rather face them than dodgers, right?

I’d rather eliminate them on the last series of the season starting Chatwood and winning on a walk off Homer by Taylor Davis. horsefeathers the Cardinals.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Like, if my only goal is to maximize the chances the Cubs win the World Series by some tiny percentage, then yes, we want the worst teams in.

 

But I'd rather lose to the Dodgers every year for a decade in the playoffs than risk losing to the Cardinals or Brewers.

Pretty much.

 

And given that I think the playoffs version of the 2018 Cubs is going to be a desiccated plague corpse, I'd ESPECIALLY prefer them to get rolled by literally anyone besides the Brewers or the Cardinals.

[Schwarber Fan]

Dodgers pounding the Cardinals is helping me recover from Strop depression.

[Brian707]

Cubs road to a 4th World Series title

 

Cardinals

Rockies

As

[Sammys Boombox]

If the Cubs do fall to a wild card, I hope we get the Rockies in The WC game, the Brewers in the LDS, and then the Braves in the LCS.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Kershaw is soooo bad vs the Cardinals

[TMan92]

Nice to see that Gomber guy figure out he is bad.

[Sammys Boombox]

Right now in the AL East the separation between each place in the division:

1st/2nd 10

2nd/3rd 9.5

3rd/4th 15

4th/5th 24

[Cubswin11]

The Cardinals, actually they do suck

[Cubswin11]

Harrison, literally Mike Trout, Bader now has a .757 OPS and K rate over 30%. That team is full of second division players

They had a nice few weeks but are what they are. Hoping the Brewers do the same soon.

[Brian]

Indians are the first division winners

[Derwood]

Indians are the first division winners

 

With 18 fewer wins than Boston. That’s nuts

[TMan92]

Jesus Christ Yelich. Enough
