Hey [expletive] smokers After game 1 I switched from scotch to IPAs. I also avoided all media but now I'm back and the scotch is flowing. Now I see butters has the game thread. We got this
More lurker/frequent reader, but this seems like a good spot to post something. I read regularly, but I'm almost a day behind on everything, so all my commentary seems irrelevant by the time I'm ready to say it. Win three more
That's how it works when you're on a board full of people that want the Cubs to win. I just hate the super overreactionary stuff. It's terrible and annoying when Ski and Rondon Fan do it in the regular season and it's annoying now. I get people are frustrated. I'm frustrated also. But the posts that are suggesting the ump is singlehandedly costing the Cubs the game are ridiculous and wrong. Just because the ump blows a call or two doesn't mean that he's the worst ump ever. And just because he blows one call doesn't mean he's blowing every close pitch. You can't tell what's a strike on the screen because of the angle. People have pointed out in previous games and in this one that FOX's zone on the screen sometimes sucks (like the one where the top of the zone was clearly below the batter's belt). Barely anyone has given Kluber any sort of credit for pitching a great game, which is what he's done. And barely anyone has acknowledged that Lester is a bit off tonight. Kluber is amazing tonight, but he is clearlt getting a generous zone. I don't know how you don't realize that you're being a contrarian prick. horsefeathers off and go post on a white sox board.
Game 4 I came home and had my last beer. Then I switched over to scotch. Eventually the Cubs were way ahead and I fell asleep in the 8th or 9th. Game 5 I made sure to do the exact same thing. Tonight my liver gets a break, but tomorrow it's back on.
