10/2/18 NL WILD CARD Rockies (Freeland) @ CLERBS (Lester) 7:00 CST ESPN

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Just following gameday so it’s hard to be sure, how bad we’re the umps after the 6th inning?

In no way is this on the umps. If anything the Cubs got the benefit of everything. Unfortunately, the Cubs just horsefeathers' suck

 

Thanks, I didn’t really follow when the Rockies were batting. I just remember a couple bad swing pitches to Schwarber 2-1 pitch called a strike, the Bryant strikeout on the corner, and Javy the last inning 1-0 pitch showed out of the zone. Maybe a couple out of the zone to Willson.

 

We definitely chased a lot of bad ones too, duh.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Some of y'all need to take a couple years off baseball.

[BigSlick]

Wipe this year out of your memories, and look forward to Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras at full power with Rizzo, Baez and Schwarber hitting beautiful arcing dongs out of the stadium.

 

Perhaps Bryce Harper will be part of the mix but I'm not gonna get too excited about it yet.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Also, thank you 2016 Cubs.

 

This times a billion.

 

Without 2016, tonight would have been agonizing and I would have been steaming for three weeks. But with it? Eh. Get 'em next year.

 

Yes.

 

I try to have my own therapy sessions, and I discovered while talking to myself yesterday that 2016 is good enough for me, and that all of my anxiety is actually about the Brewers winning the World Series.

 

I never once asked the Baseball Gods for the Cubs to win two World Series. I asked for one. And then they gave us not just a World Series year, but one of the greatest baseball storybook years ever.

 

I'll be happy to win another one and would like to, but I'm good. It's loser talk, but I'm good.

Take a couple years to write about how Heyward is fixed

Also I was yelling at the TV when Mendoza said Story's cheap ass horsefeathering dribbler was a win for the Cubs with 2 out in the 13th. What a dumbass comment.

[imb]

Yeah I bet Harper is jumping at the chance to join this group of studs

[gflore34]

I don't understand that either, but I can tolerate it.

 

Thanks. It's fair to not understand it, but I just got really fatigued with this season. I just was not at all enjoying any of this. There were seasons when Sammy was on roids and hitting 60 dongs and we didn't go to the playoffs that were a lot more fun. And that's crazy to say.

 

I accept being judged for this and also ridiculed. I'm just being honest with how I feel.

Imagine taking this (and adding in that this was a 95 win team) and sending it to youself in 2012 or something. I honestly thing a lot of the doom and gloomers here enable each other and make things out to be horrific all the time. Now, September and everything after it was disgusting, but this team is still pretty damn good. I hope we get Harper and non-dumb managers and coaches out of this.

 

 

Without question, I strongly suspect they'll heal in the offseason, make some moves and fly under the radar so to speak while everyone else goes gaga over the Brewers in 2019. Then come on to blow the NL Central away.

The entire crew acted like anything but a HR was a net positive for the Cubs

Quality point.

 

The difference for me is that I've embraced new expectations. I expect us to be the Yankees of the National League with a good front office and a high payroll, and with that, I will be judging seasons not by our horribly managed past, but by the new standard of our present and future.

[CubInOK]

The last time I had fun with this was the last David Bote walk off. This team became a chore to watch.

[Ski]

Why do we care about the Brewers winning the World Series? That'd be an amazing baseball story. Better them than the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers.

Really?

Yeah, I like her in the booth. But that was incredibly stupid. Cheap hit on weak contact with two outs in a tie game, with a good pitcher on the mound that probably doesn't have many bullets left.

I have nothing against them. I may actually root for them. Do it for Uecker.

well there goes my baseball watching for the season. don’t give a horsefeathers who wins from here

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We all love it too much to do that. Hell, Big Slick wasn't going to watch the rest of the season after the Reds came back and scored like five runs in the late innings to beat us in a four-game sweep, and that dude was back the next day.

i'll always look back fondly on the month where david bote looked like a good major league baseball player.

I hope some of you trip and somehow land on your nuts while going to bed tonight.

[NotSoSober]

I'm rooting for the Brewers to beat Oakland just so we can stop the VAunted horsefeathers (and yes, I"m guilty)

That's why I've taken a huge step back from the Cubs after 2016. The fact that sports can do this to people is dumb. It's pure tribalism. Be happy for the Brewers if they go far.

i give them credit for the 95 wins and having a great season, but i don't really think that roster deserves to win a world series, and it would be annoying to see them do it

a number of their players are grade-a d-bags and the city of milwaukee, generally speaking, sucks.

I’ll die defending Duke and his excellent analysis even if it does jinx them every time
