Heyward is so far up his own ass at the plate right now he can't see what end is up.

Which upcoming year do you project Bryant and Rizzo will be injured?

Just get through this and go to the bullpen of doom

Somewhere Jeff Samardzija just involuntarily twitched

horsefeathering hell Heyward

I've been pulling for a Cubs-Indians WS all along, knowing that no matter what happens, some team would break a lengthy drought. I think it's a sort of cool storyline but I honestly couldn't give two horsefeathers if Cleveland breaks their drought, especially if it's against us. Cleveland got lucky enough to have the best basketball player of his generation be born in the region and feel beholden to it, and most of them are also Ohio State fans. They've seen plenty of titles in the last 15 years. I'd be glad to see the Tribe win if the Cubs lost to LA, but I can't say I'd care that much.

That's the greatest. Congratulations. Young Thurman is in for a hell of a couple of weeks.

Addison Russell, you are a god

Not sure I can verbalize how much better I feel right now

How many playoff series would we have to play in for Rizzo to get another ball out of the infield?

He's 2 for 3 with a HR against Urias. Ride the defense this time and see if he can have similar success at the plate. Surely that is statistically significant. It is statistically significant.

These last few posts have me aching to win this LA series even more than I was.

Hell with it, I'm playing the nachos card. Because nachos sound delicious right now. http://cf.familyfreshmeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Pulled-Pork-Nachos-the-best-appetizer-for-football-season.-FamilyFreshMeals.com-Yummy-Super-Bowl-food.png

100%. I got so damn sick of that. This is better, even if it still isn't the best.

I really hate this. All of this. And I hate that my faith is slipping.

I'm not saying I would be utterly shocked if Heyward weren't in tomorrow's lineup, but if Joe was going to play him against Kershaw, knowing he would be horsefeathering useless at the plate, in a smaller ballpark, I don't know why he wouldn't play him against a lefty not named Kershaw in a much larger ballpark.

Thoughts after the greatest Cubs moment of my lifetime. I'm sort of with TT, I didn't mind the way Joe managed the 8th. If Bryant just takes the out at 1st instead of trying to go nuts, maybe Chapman gets out of it. I was fine with Montero against the righty but it cracked me up that Joe was going for the ninja Contreras matchup again. Roberts fucked that 8th inning up left and right. He deserved to lose for walking Heyward. Which isn't to even speak of the fact that you had Joe horsefeathering Blanton pitching in the 8th inning of a tied NLCS game. Even if Jansen wasn't available, you had no one better? (If he actually had no one better I will recant this part) I love this team.

I'm sure the national writers know more than me but I'm getting tired of watching embarrassing ND losses and having to read tweets telling me there's no chance of a coaching change. How much of a horsefeathering punchline do they have to be to justify it?

Clemson fans go on the field after every game. Apparently it's a thing.

Bring your ground ball skills, Lester

He and Charles Davis are the B team aren't they? Or is that supposed to be Kenny Albert and Johnston (who are obviously better than anything with Brennaman involved)? I can never tell. Burkhardt and Lynch are. Oh crud, I forgot about them. I guess they like Aikman too much to bump him down to B team for a few weeks.

The last one was Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS between the Red Sox and Angels. Not sure about the other 2. The other 3 were within 5 days of each other in the 1986 playoffs. Yep, both by the Mets. One in the NLCS and the other was the Buckner game.
