    Yes I've decided I want the Nats. I just don't like that the Dodgers can throw 7-8 LHB in the lineup and not sacrifice much production of any. Jake has had issues at times against LHB this year and Lackey has in past years I believe but not as much this year.

    Wade had some interesting things to say about 2010 Free Agency today. Never seen it discussed this in depth as it pertains to the Bulls. Here are some quotes: If this is true, and I see no reason why Wade would lie, the Bulls super team was a lot closer to happening than we thought. They should have done anything they could to give Deng away and make it happen. Also makes me wonder when the Bulls knew it wasn't going to happen. If I recall correctly, the Bulls signed Boozer probably 3 days before "The Decision". Obviously signing Boozer removed any possibility of having room for 3 max FAs and even probably 2. Did the Bulls pretty much know at that point, or did they really think that signing Boozer would be more attractive to Wade or James than teaming with Bosh, or that Chicago was such an attractive draw for either of them that they could accept playing with Boozer instead of Bosh?

    Stupid UMfan thing that means nothing and is mildly interesting at best but can't resist typing it out anyways: This is the 5th NLCS appearance for the Cubs. In their previous 4 appearances they've won 0,1,2 and 3 games. So this MUST mean that the Cubs are destined to win 4 this time.

    Trying to think.... 2002 LDS 1-0 2002 LCS 1-0 2002 WS 0-2 2003 LDS 1-1 2003 LCS 0-3 2012 LDS 0-3 2014 WC 0-1 2016 LDS 0-1 And it started so well for him...

    I've gone back and forth like 5 times over the last few days. Sometimes the Dodgers scare me less, sometimes the Nats. Regardless they are both flawed teams that I am pretty confident that we can beat.

    My favorite part. We're Cardinal fans and we go to Walmart! That's the part that made me think it was actually satire.

    How'd you do in the lottery though?
  9. UMFan83
    Yep. It's gonna take me a while to fully invest in hockey this year. I hate to sound like a spoiled fan but yeah. I'll get invested in January when its cold outside and nothing to do. Hopefully they will be better by then.

    On the bright side...

    Being outshot 35-20...had a 70 second span where we committed 3 penalties and the third happened right as we scored so we kept the 2 man advantage. It's just one game but there will probably be growing pains with this team

    How much you want for that code? :)

    If anyone wants to watch the game again or particularly the 9th inning: [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

    I keep forgetting with all this Cubs madness going on. I've barely watched the preseason. Anyone want to help me with projected lines/pairings, or some insight into who to be excited about based on the play in camp?

    Seriously, but that said blog commenting and the twitterverse are definitely more common ways to discuss a sports team these days than a forum. The message board format is somewhat outdated it seems. Anyways, McCovey Chronicles is a great blog and reading their game thread from last night was fun.

    i hate you!! This brings my lottery record to 0-6 Didn't you get free tickets off a Twitter contest or something? You don't get to complain about that :-" I just take every lottery rejection as a personal slight by the Cubs, and those slights are adding up! You are right though I shouldn't complain but dammit I want some butters luck. Probably a reward from the Cubs for giving us so many Game Thread victories last year.

    Just for fun, the likely rotations for both teams if everyone pitched on 4+ days rest Nationals: G1 Sat: Roark G2 Sun: Gonzalez G3 Tue: Scherzer G4 Wed: Ross G5 Thu: Roark G6 Sat: Gonzalez G7 Sun: Scherzer A bit scary having Scherzer waiting for a game 7 that I assume we will never have to play, but winnable first 2 games, very winnable game 4 and the comfort of facing Gio in game 6 if necessary. Obviously this is assuming Strasburg isn't healed by Tim Tebow before the series, and why would he help out a division rival? As for the Dodgers: G1 Sat: Madea G2 Sun: Kershaw G3 Tue: Hill G4 Wed: ??? Urias?? G5 Thu: Madea G6 Sat: Kershaw G7 Sun: Hill I feel more comfortable facing Kershaw away from Dodger Stadium so would be good if both starts are at Wrigley. The thought of facing Rich Hill in a possible Game 7 at Wrigley is insanely awesome.

    You can only be selected once according to their email. I got picked for the NLDS (but tickets were sold out by the time I got in) and just got picked again for NLCS so that doesn't seem to be correct i hate you!! This brings my lottery record to 0-6
  19. UMFan83
    I just got a rejection email Edit: And a second and a third

    The other 3 were within 5 days of each other in the 1986 playoffs. Yep, both by the Mets. One in the NLCS and the other was the Buckner game. Damn that 1986 playoffs must have been insane to follow as a fan.

    I will say the argument of 'you shouldnt enjoy winning the world series if you do because we've won more' is still much better than the White Sox Interactive argument "you shouldn't enjoy the world series unless you go 11-1 like we did that one time we won one over the last 99 years"

    Hmmm....this is very shitty if true: http://wgntv.com/2016/10/12/expect-to-pay-a-lot-for-cubs-nlcs-tickets/

    Like cyber attacks or just trolls? cyber attacks. I don't think we saw any trolls post. Well except our own.
  24. UMFan83
    What are the others? The last one was Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS between the Red Sox and Angels. Not sure about the other 2.
  25. UMFan83
    Does anyone want to guess what the all-time record is for a team trailing by 3 heading into the 9th of a postseason game?
