I want a Cubs/Yankees WS because that matchup is cool as hell on all levels, while everyone always kinda forgets the Astros exist.
-
For even conceiving of such a thing...
-
horsefeathers, I hate rewatching almost everything about Game 7 of the WS minus the final out; it almost all just takes me back to being crazy stressed out. All of the good stuff was THIS close to being cancelled out until then. Even taking the lead in extras, that horsefeathers got hairy again real fast... -
I was gonna be real annoyed if nobody picked up what I was laying down.
-
There was an argument to be made not to even use Carl at all, but at least he had the quick hook. Yeah, that was the biggest miracle of them all; for once Joe didn't wait until it was 3-4 AB's too late to pull a struggling beloved reliever.
-
Lackey-Quintana-Hendricks-Lester-Jake works out pretty perfectly rest-wise, especially if Q and Hendricks are needed for games six and seven.
-
Yeah, I don't see the need to rush old man Lester back on short rest if Quintana is pitching one of the first two games. That seems more like a desperation move unnecessarily early in a series.
-
Why do so many people thunk the Cubs will starr Lackey? Quintana threw what amounted to a bullpen session, he'll be fine for Saturday. If you're going to have to start Lackey in one of the first two, which they'll have to do unless they bring Lester or Arrieta back on short rest, might as well give Quintana the extra day off. Yeah, you have more breathing room with a seven game series, so if Quinatana is good to go for game one? Great! But if he needs, or they think he needs, an extra day and Lackey has to start game one? NBD, IMO.

Why do so many people thunk the Cubs will starr Lackey? Quintana threw what amounted to a bullpen session, he'll be fine for Saturday. I just came to ask this. It's hilarious how many people say "the Cubs burned Quintana" when he only threw 12 pitches. He should be able to start either Saturday or Sunday. I don't think anyone is really thinking Quintana wouldn't pitch EITHER of those days; the Lackey theories seem based more around giving Lester, Jake and Hendricks more rest.

Why do so many people thunk the Cubs will starr Lackey? Quintana threw what amounted to a bullpen session, he'll be fine for Saturday. I guess it depends on how much the Cubs want to rest their starters. I wouldn't be surprised if Lackey started either game one or game two. Then Hendricks-Lester-Jake can go on normal rest for games three-five.
-
Man, at this point I have zero problem with Lackey starting game 1, or even really just writing it off. Just get the rotation back on track, steal one in LA and then head home to take at least two.

Me walking in with my usual Cubs lanyard in Nats territory today:
-
Banned for loving Dusty? Harsh....but fair.
-
Might be why even after I looked them up I have no recollection of this person whatsoever.
-
Oh man, if we turn this into a cavalcade of Must See TV gifs, I AM DOWN. Buckle up for hilarity from The Single Guy and Veronica's Closet!
-
You guys are REALLY overthinking a really choice Yog-Sothoth reference.
-
This is the best.
-
It was mostly an active decision; I was just too damn anxious by the time the game rolled around, so I knew I wasn't going to be watching all or most of the game unless the Cubs took and held a decent early lead or Hendricks looked amazing. Too nervous. I think a huge part of it are TBS' horrible, horrible announcers. It's some kind of Pavlovian response where as soon as I hear their voices I think the worst is going to happen.
-
I respected the hell out of you when I heard about your incredible weight loss. That just went out the window with one post, nerd. http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mddsdzWD3q1ru1wbho1_250.gif

Just plan/hope for Lackey/Montgomery giving you 6 innings.
-
Given that this is the Bears, seems like pretty good odds that he turns out to play football as well as the other ODB.
-
Also: it worked, so go live in a bog.
-
Middle of a $350k heist, dammit. What were the odds the assy Cubs' offense were actually gonna score that quickly?
-
Jeez, nothing makes you happy. How about this? Even the Titanic managed to sink faster than the Nats.
