9/27 Cubs (Lester) vs Pirates (Williams) 7:05 NBCSCH

Don't the Cubs have some kind of reverse polarity with the opponent' aces? They'll crush the ace but, make mediocre to bad pitchers look like aces?

We beat those aces because our starters were really good. Nola is the only one we hit hard.

[Brian707]

Will we see Kris again before 2019?

[TMan92]

 

Everyone is wondering where Almora is. I would lock him out of Wrigley if that was possible.

Maybe he's busy checking out Billy Williams and his grandkids? :dontknow:

Well I just got my “you didn’t get selected for playoff tickets” email just like I’ve gotten for every playoff series for the past 4 years. Hope others got lucky

[chibears55]

Didnt Heyward have a big game last night and tonight he sits

[UMFan83]

Damn. Over his last 12 starts, Williams has an ERA of exactly 1.00. 8 of the 12 starts he allowed 0 runs, 2 of them he allowed 1 run

 

This is going to be freaking tough

This is going to be freaking tough

We could be facing Mike Maroth and I'd still be worried about the offense

Time for some regression then

I bet we could tag a couple on Marc Meron though.

 

tfw Albert Almora:

Me too. But for the 4th straight year my dad was selected.

[ScrubMD]

Starting the game off in very 2018 fashion.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm not a big fan of Lester starting the Wild Card game, but maybe he will dominate.

[TMan92]

Couldn’t be going better

[chibears55]

Lester already in trouble...

 

Need a 6 4 3 here

[NotSoSober]

If the Jim Wolfe expands the zone by about 2 feet Lester can get out of this unscathed

[Sammy Sofa]

[bcl412]

Thatta boy Jon. Start donging now

[Rex Buckingham]

True or false: tonight, our #8 hitter is more likely to dong than our #9 hitter

[TMan92]

Need a quick inning here. Really wish we could get a big two out hit.

[BigSlick]

Ah, shakey Jon today. Please deliver a boatload of runs

[TMan92]

Guy can’t hit lefties. Deposits double.

[TMan92]

Ah, shakey Jon today. Please deliver a boatload of runs

 

Not sure that’s happening.
