Where ru getting the better team stuff from? optimism? or the fact the cubs beat them in the playoffs last year and are defending champs? it's a 7 game series. anything can happen apologies for this post. i was catching up on this thread and saw many, many more dumb horsefeathers posted that i probably should respond to. if only it wasn't pointless. when they win tonight that's pretty much all you can ask for. the BP should be well rested now. Lester is a somewhat cool(?), redneck, red ass, playoff monster and he's going to pitch his ass off because he eats POS like the dodgers for breakfast. the cubs will win tonight and have another off day tomorrow to rest up and re-calibrate. they won early Friday morning and had to travel from freaking DC to LA and play quickly (relatively speaking for the playoffs) with a wildly fatigued bullpen. This team doesn't back down - i have no doubt they are still supremely confident they'll win this series. win tonight - one day at a time. for crying out loud they were down 1-3 last year in the WORLD SERIES. it sucks they lost but it's only one game - it barely moves the needle at all. oh, and when kershaw pitches again they are going to CRUSH him
