this is the pivotal game. the dodgers are gambling throwing Kershaw out there, after working so much, on the road, to try to put a charge into their hopes - we can dash them. We win this game, I think this series is just about over. I'm so glad I don't have to wait an extra day for it. Go Cubs!

I love the cubs, I love this board I love baseballs
-
Oh my god That's probably the greatest Cubs moment I've had watching a game So far
-
Addy....why swing at ball 4 twice
-
OH my god please give me a disappearing act like they've done throughout the year
-
IMO Maddon has to chill out on the pitcher changes, Edwards was looking fantastic
-
We really need to get some balls in the air other than pop ups
-
Can we get a pop up home run like them?
-
Man, Russell is so bad right now
-
JAVY is playing pure magic right now
-
Baez is having a charmed October- bloop double
-
Heyward is already better now than he was all season, I say, irrationally
-
Wow that was almost a disaster thank god Gonzalez is slow as sin. I'm cool with opposing pitchers not getting hits anymore ok
-
Jon is missing really badly when his is missing
-
First inning run so are good, they please me
-
To me, the guys who are talking about being terrified are the ones doing the loser talking. And the people checking fan graphs chance to win percentages every two seconds are just as annoying *wink* actually those people are extremely Cool and Good

I don't know why anyone is worried, in my mind we're playing with house money because we really can't do worse than last years result Also the way they're treating Kershaw is hilarious and I'm half convinced he's gonna breakdown in his start against us Man I hate that house money talk. I also feel supremely confident that despite the fact Baseball is gonna Baseball that the Cubs will make the World Series
-
I hope Heyward does something useful

I would love a repeat of Game 3 of the NLDS one time this postseason, where we hit 6 big fat dongers, at some point

The whole point of WAR is that it's quick and dirty. It's not meant to be parsed. It's a complicated composite of a bunch of numbers nobody really needs to or wants to understand. If you want to look deeper into a player, look at other numbers. And if its all you look at you'll have a warped and useless understanding of player value - but if you're a radio commentator, you'll keep an imperious and self-satisfied attitude And now Spiegel is clowning on him for his slavish devotion to Fangraphs which is fine

I listen to the Score altogether too much and I'm beginning to hate that Bernstein has latched onto sabermetrics in the most simpleton way possible, that is, looking only at WAR numbers and not really having any intellectual curiosity into the composite numbers that go into it, and its infected the rest of the station. I guess its better than people just going with their gut and talking about RBIs but jesus use your brain a little.
-
that is a nice thing: at this point its almost guaranteed that the Cubs have a more successful postseason than the 2015 Cubs
-
a game 7 might wreck my intestines but would be a lot of fun too I just want a taste of the promised land

Divisional series thread
BigSlick replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
i'm fine with facing LA after they've whipped Kershaw like a rented mule in this series and the fact Rich Hill never looked quite right
