  1. It probably doesn't give us the advantage because at home the Indians have no way of playing Mike Napoli and Carlos Santana at the same time, who are their best hitters Re: Schwarber and Contreras, for the Hendricks start at least, you get *both* of those mean bats in the lineup, and suffer no defensive disadvantage. Also, handedness.
  2. It's crazy how excited I am about this. Schwarber only has 21 career MLB home runs, and yet I'm confident he's going to add to his Cubs career postseason record. He was my favorite player last year, just a pure joy to watch, and that swing is *kisses fingers* violent and sweet at the same time. I guess I have to buy my second shirsey of all time.
  3. i'm really tired of commentators talking AGAIN about how the cubs should trade schwarber because he's an "AL player" i demand he dong the indians to death
  4. maybe i'm too foolish but the fact that there isn't a Kershaw or Hill in this rotation makes me supremely confident we're just gonna stomp on them offensively Like, after Bumgarner, Cueto, Kershaw etc..etc their Good And Above Average rotation just seems like peanuts to me. which means every game will be 2-1
  5. The Cubs are going to win because the Cubs...seem so much better than the Indians? I guess its possible we could lose but the Indians just seem like a blah team with a lot of good but not great players, and the Cubs are loaded and have transcended into baseball godhood. This just feels like a short series a la the Boston 2004 run when the World Series was an afterthought. We have vanquished all before us. Now for the coronation.
  6. Not to think ahead, but expect a lot more of this if Baez keeps the starting job next year
  7. I can't wait for the Eamus Catuli sign to read AC0000000
  8. This is so incredible it's almost surreal. A few days ago we were in hard fought series with the Dodgers and Schwarber wasn't on anyone's mind aside from being involved in dug out celebrations. And now the Cubs are in the World Series and Schwarber, improbably, is looking likely to be on the roster. We joked about it, we wished against hope, and it's really happening? He has an actual chance to Kirk Gibson this horsefeathers. What an incredible year.
  9. i'm thankful Dave Roberts didn't do something silly like challenge the final DP, ruining the moment for us
  10. if you slow it down you can see the exact moment his heart breaks
  11. Two things that owned in this game: Clayton Kershaw collapsing in a heap after Rizzo donged him to death Andrew horsefeathering Toles, easily the most hateable person not named Conor Gillaspie, dropping an easy flyball and looking incredibly stupid
  12. something about the last 2 beatdowns of LA in LA made me supremely confident we were going to win this easily. I guess we finished with 3 consecutive beatdowns of LA. I can't imagine this team losing to Cleveland. Nothing can stop this train.
  13. I cant believe that not only did the Cubs win the WS clinching game by dominating the best pitcher of the generation, but they faced only the minimum in 9 innings Pure domination
  14. Ok no funny business. No walks, no goofing around. Throw strikes down the middle
  15. It's kind of beautiful that we get a gorgeous double play to exorcise a blown double play ages ago
  16. Boo this move. Hopefully Chapman is throwing bullets
  17. I don't want Chapman on the mound to close this out I want Kyle to see this through
  18. Willson with the Schwarber-Esque non chalant bat flip This game owns
  19. Javy is literally the only dude who isnt 100% on what Kershaw is doing
