Joe said that they wouldnt rule out using him in the field at Wrigley. I don't think its a great idea, but he seems to have exceeded all previous expectations so why the hell not? Oh wow...I hadn't heard that. They asked Schwarber about that and he sort of smiled and said that won't happen.

I was stuck listening to the radio, and it was unbelievable. He was our best hitter last night. He's amazing.

Eh, it's fine. Defensively they're probably a wash (IIRC Coghlan actually graded out well in the outfield this year), and as soon as Miller comes in to face Coghlan Joe is going to Contreras.

Cogs at 2nd and No Baez is what I heard. Anything is possible, but that would be super dumb.

I think I want this as my sig

I will have to do radio for Game 1 because of work and won't even be able to do that for most of Game 3, also because of work. Stupid adulting.

I hate STL enough that I just don't watch their games, even the World Series, because seeing good things happen for them pisses me off too much. But I can't imagine actually going on message boards and devoting a lot of time to it.

I almost feel bad that I don't personally know anyone that didn't see this. I didn't have Cubdom passed to me. I was an Atlanta fan by virtue of living in the South until moving to Indiana at age 11. As it happened the best friend I made in Indiana was and is a Cubs fan and basically made me watch games with him on summer afternoons until it inevitably sucked me in. Somewhere around age 13/14 I made the full conversion. I thanked him late Saturday night for making me a Cubs fan. Totally worth it.

We have not, but I would expect us to go Lester. He's our horse.

Hey, I'm posting in a mother horsefeathering Cubs World Series game thread.

Unless I somehow am gifted Game 4 tickets, I will be attending the ND/Miami game. So I'll most likely need a nasty taste washed out of my mouth that evening. Hope the Cubs are up to it.

It makes me sad when I watch talented or well-coached teams play I actually find it a refreshing change of pace.

The Cubs will play a game on my birthday. My birthday is October 28. That's absolutely amazing.

Plug in wedding in the #2 spot and that's my list.

I'm going through the thread right now and I'm sure I'm not the first person to congratulate you on this.

I love all you guys. Wouldn't be as big a fan as I am without this place. My son woke up just in time for the final outs. I cannot describe the moment. Tears. Joy. I never thought I'd see this. I love this team.

Praise Jebus that I have to work until late tonight and also tomorrow morning. It won't keep my attention off this, but it'll be a distraction at least.

It's crazy how using the exact same strategy that failed for basically every Cubs opponent for the last 2 years against Lester didn't pay off tonight.

horsefeathering Chapman. Body language psychology is horsefeathers but Smoltz is right on, he doesn't even want to be pitching

Finish this horsefeathers and go to Chicago and finish that horsefeathers

That's what I was thinking. Who in their right mind would charge after Pedro Strop? Not many, but Paul Wilson once charged Kyle Farnsworth, so you never know when or where a momentary lapse in sanity might occur. Well to be fair, Wilson took like a step and a half toward him and Farnsworth said "horsefeathers it, it's on"

I've never seen anyone like Javier Baez.

I knew he was out in real time actually

Javy Baez. I just. Wow.
