    What does this mean? I'm not a betting man You win back $215 if you bet $100 and they win, plus your original $100. Basically puts Cubs at 70% to win That sounds insane but I guess the oddsmakers are trying to balance out all that Chicago money

    Bingo. Came 5 days after his PC. That reminds me to check Kim's instagram like a creep.

    The Marshall for Wood trade was one of the first moves I remember Theo making. It may even have been his first trade. Does anyone remember what his first official player transaction was?

    And having an offense that is a lot better than the Giants 5 times out of 5. I like the Cubs chances. And a pen, and a defense......

    We may be playing for a pennant or a title in later series, but this series is important because it determines which team has the coconuts, and I like coconuts so I hope its us.

    When people post things like that, I am not sure if they actually believe that the Cubs chances actually lowered because they have the top seed.

    I'm assuming one of 3 things: 1) Only lottery winners have access to the ticket buying page and thus are the only ones that can stalk the page looking for a re-released single 2) The only way to actually do this is to physically go to the Cubs box office and check 3) The Cubs are just taking the re-released tickets and selling them through their Premium Ticket box office that they own for an up charge.

    His postseason last year was strange. He had 2 great starts, one mediocre start and 1 disastrous start. 9 IP 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB in the World Series was pretty damn good. Also even though the combined numbers suck (5.40 ERA in 4 starts last year) his OPS against was only .588 during those starts. I look at Cueto is a very good sometimes great pitcher, but he doesn't scare me in the way that Bumgarner does. We can hit him. It might only be a couple of runs but if we can get him out of the game early enough and Lester is on, I'm not terribly concerned with facing him. Normally I'd be a little concerned with the potential of losing 1 of the first 2 games at home, especially with Bumgarner on the mound in game 3, but I love the pitching matchup in game 4, so at worst we should get to game 5 barring standard baseball randomness, and again I am not particularly intimidated facing Cueto in that game.

    Perhaps the Pirates can help us create some doozies

    Get the horsefeathers out!!!! AND STOP BEING SO SELFISH YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO GO. I have to go, this board needs a scapegoat if for some reason we lose.

    i still hate that website but that's awesome! congrats where are the seats? Section 235 row 20. Not the best seats in the house but I'm not going to complain!

    Well I retweeted a tweet from The Athletic yesterday entering me into a contest for tickets to this game, and found out this morning that I won!

    On a semi-releated note, I WOULD pay $5,000 or more to temporarily view the alternate reality of a Trump presidency just to see how messed up things would get.

    FYI for those that won the lottery but didn't get tickets. Usually a day or two before the game, very small quantities of tickets are released sporadically. Most of the time it's a single ticket but in rare instances you will find a pair. I was hoping they would open this up to everyone but I don't see a link to buy tickets so I'm assuming only lottery winners have access to the buying tickets page. In 2008 it was available to everyone and I was able to get tickets to Game 1 without winning the lottery

    We have to beat ourselves?
  16. UMFan83
    ?? When he pitched a CG just over a month ago?
  17. UMFan83
    Even year Giants it is...
  18. UMFan83
    Yeah Bum has been quite mortal since like August. Definitely a tough ass pitcher to face but we can hit him
  19. UMFan83
    Jake is going to skull horsefeathers whichever of these shitty ass lineups is unlucky enough to face him.
  20. UMFan83
    This didn't work out that well if the Mets win. I was hoping when he was at about 100 pitches that he would get out of the inning quickly so hopefully he would go another inning and throw 120+ and have arm fatigue for game 3. But Pagan extended the AB and then got that IF hit. Now he's done at 108 pitches. Oh well
  21. UMFan83
    Amazing that MadBums PC is only 2 less than Syndergaards considering how the game started
  22. UMFan83
    I think you've been hacked. Oh wait nevermind it's Derwood
  23. UMFan83
    That got me thinking. How much would one pay for the Cubs to win the World Series? I'd be down for $5,000, and it's not like I make a ton of money. I wouldn't pay a dollar. Part of the joy of rooting for a team that wins a title is not knowing if your team will prevail until they actually do.

    There's talk about moving the Michigan/Rutgers game time if the storm tracks farther north.

    This is [expletive] hilarious
