    I want CK gone by the 4th or 5th, just to hear Buck-Smoltz sell us on what a brilliant outing it was.
  2. Billy_Buck
    Always want more. But I think Realistically, we'd all have taken 2 runs/30 pitches in the first. Contra Smoltz, gotta think Dodgers are hoping for 6 out of CK now. Gonna be some decisions early for Roberts.

    Making him work, too...

    DRAW AND QUARTER MODE ENGAGED

    This is now the third time I've seen the Cubs reach this point: one single solitary win from a pennant, and a shot at the Series. Each time, never thought it would end when it did, nor take as long to climb back. There's probably few on this board who can remember a Cubs pennant, and vanishingly few anywhere who've actually SEEN the Cubs in the WS. So this team is on the cusp of something WE have literally never seen. Amazing to think that tomorrow or Monday we could wake up, and that all will have changed. Tonight is a challenge, obviously, but I think this Cubs team is up to it. Seeing Kershaw a second time hopefully helps, and some of the batted ball (un)luck in game 2 evens out. As Schwarber said yesterday, pitchers are human, not robots. Also takes the focus off "omg game 6, curses, etc" and on "we need to figure out Kershaw." I expect another tight one, Hendricks quietly matching Kershaw. The game hinges on a Roberts decision to let Kershaw bat with RISP to keep him In the game--Buck: "decision time if you're Dave Roberts..." But LA gets nothing, and the Cubs rally in the bottom half off a tired CK to take the lead and close the scoring. Go CUBS! (For Fred!)

    From Bill Plaschke's column: Congrats LA, the consolation prize has already been awarded. It was thrilling! Hugs!

    BABIP luck reverses itself!

    To you, it's a pivotal game 5 start on the road with the weight of a franchise's hopes, dreams and history on his shoulders. To Jon Lester, it's just another Thursday at the office.

    Cool. I'll take a Cubs W with another couple days of Adrian Gonzalez bitching about a replay call.

    I <3 Joe Blanton
  14. Billy_Buck
    good call
  15. Billy_Buck
    No worries. Still got this.
  16. Billy_Buck
    Pretty obvious that was intentional, right?
  17. Billy_Buck
    107 years of sustained success can do that. LESTER K!

    I've always assumed that he's been perfecting his move at a secret underground location, waiting to spring it on the league in a WS-clinching moment.
  19. Billy_Buck
    Cake
  20. Billy_Buck
    Including an awful lot of pitchers, sadly.
  21. Billy_Buck
    Hmmm. I spy a flaw in that purported "all breaking balls" blueprint.
  22. Billy_Buck
    2 might do it
  23. Billy_Buck
    This is a win. Enjoy!
  24. Billy_Buck
    "We had two tough nights, so what?" Perfect attitude. Love Joe's calm for this team.
  25. Billy_Buck
    With Lester slated to start tomorrow, and then back to Wrigley, it feels as though the pendulum's headed back out way, like, a lot. Pretty sure I read earlier in the thread that Game 3 winners go on to take the LCS something like 140% of the time. :-k
