  1. Issue: Lester gets borderline (very close) call Kluber gets call 4 inches outside to whiff Bryant Same? http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/soccer10k/Bryant.png Which one was called 4 inches outside? Strikes 2 and 5 were both swung at. If that's from the AB in the first, it's just wrong.
  2. Man, I really think that early bad strike to Bryant messed them up. That hurts a team like the Cubs a lot as disciplined as they are. Forced them to expand the zone early and they've just struggled. Kluber has been fantastic, but not quite as good as the numbers look.
  3. The top of the k zone box was below his belt on the check swing. What a horsefeathering joke.
  4. I managed to find a Cubs friendly bar in St. Louis and will be enjoying the game from that establishment. I can't wait for this thing to get rolling!

  6. [attachment=0]Kipnis Ankle.JPG[/attachment] Here's a tweet with his ankle in it in case it goes away again. That looks nasty.
  7. Murphy's has made it clear that they are not charging a cover, FWIW. But I did hear the Cubby Bear was charging a $100 cover last Saturday. That's not the info I'm getting. My dad actually called Murphy's and they said no cover as of now, but not out of the question. My cousin has also heard they're one of the bars planning to charge a cover for sure.
  8. If you guys haven't heard, I'm being told some places are talking about $80-100 cover charges and $15 12 oz beers in Wrigleyville. Assholes. I understand wanting to make money, but damn, that's ridiculous.
  9. I'm wondering this as well. Any suggestions from locals as to a good location? Is anyone planning on meeting anywhere? I'll be in town by around 1:00 or so Saturday and will be ready for whatever at that point.
  10. Looks official. [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. Cool article on Mallee. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/world-series-chicago-cubs-john-mallee-number-11-rosenthal-102416
  12. I think that was actually his brain and not his knee that is made of Popsicle sticks.
  13. If those guys are all hitting, man that's scary good.
  14. I mean, seriously, you barely have to be paying attention to know that's not even close to what's going to happen.
  15. Not to mention the fact that they didn't replace Bauer because they need him to start in the World series. He kinda blew it on that one.
  16. The extra days off will probably mitigate most of that effect. They will have been off for 5 full days between the LCS and World Series. Well, I meant start to wear down with in a series not between. If we could knock out Kluber quickly, I could see their staff falling like dominoes as the series progressed. Look at Kershaw. He was on normal rest and he couldn't get his breaking pitch to work, part weather, and I'd guess, part fatigue Gotcha. That certainly makes more sense. And would be an even bigger advantage for the Cubs is Game 2 does get bumped to Thursday and there are 4 consecutive games, as someone else mentioned earlier.
  17. For three series in a row? It seems like the bullpen would start to wear down, and as soon as one pitcher did wear down the flood gates open The extra days off will probably mitigate most of that effect. They will have been off for 5 full days between the LCS and World Series.
  18. Or they misunderstood him and he said seventh.
  19. It looks like I can take Tinley Park to LaSalle and pick up the Red Line at Harold Washington. It's been years since I was last in Chicago. Anyone know if the times will work for leaving Wrigley that night? Am I looking at spending the middle of the night at Wrigley or taking a taxi back? I've got a room booked near the Rosemont blue line stop. Those run past 3 am so I'm not worried about getting out that way late. Hotels are relatively cheap around there as well.
  20. Yep, that was the first thing I noticed as well.
  21. He didn't really confirm or deny anything. Basically just said they hadn't made the decisions yet.
  22. That was absolutely perfect! I especially liked the musical crescendos as Rizzo and Contreras made contact with their homeruns.
  23. Oh, also the game is being replayed on MLBN right now and Willy just went deeeeeep.
