  1. Well it helps that they have the best team in baseball and that the postseason is a coin flip so winning 3 of 4 against another team isn't particularly improbable. Also this team has repeatedly proven that they are up to any challenge and everything I've seen from them suggests that they are not the type of team that would flame out like this. I'm not overly confident but I'm not counting them out yet
  2. No it's called baseball. Sometimes you hit well sometimes you don't. Cubs have faced a team that negates a lot of their pitching and hitting advantages. But regardless, the worst thing that can happen tonight is a 2-1 series deficit. It's possible Lackey pitches a gem and Urias shits himself then Lester outduels Kershaw etc etc. I don't feel overly confident at this point but not ready to concede anything after 3 games
  3. Didn't the Cubs destroy something the last time they lost a playoff game at Dodger Stadium?
  4. Because he will probably suck if you do that I'd trust him on 3 days against a team that can't hit lefties over the buck toothed moron that has had less success against lefties most of his career. Seriously how did we not realize how bad of a matchup the Dodgers were
  5. I actually like Joe had a game 4 start in mind when he pulled Jon after 77 pitches. But no one asked him about it so no one is expecting it
  6. Seriously, someone sell me on why Jon Lester should not start tomorrow and Game 7
  7. Seriously though, Kershaw had a 5.81 ERA in the NLDS and hill 6.75. Ugh
  8. Just hate that the Nats beat up on Kershaw and Hill and we can't even get hits off of them
  9. Pitch Lester tomorrow and then again in game 7. Everyone else is doing it and we have a huge edge when a lefty is starting
  10. Yes yes I agree. Can't win the World Series if you don't score a run
  11. We had a bunch 2 games ago. This game isn't even half over. I know, this was a terrible post and yet I couldn't help myself. Need more electroshock therapy
  12. Gah hate to bring negative vibes but this feels like 2008 again. Waiting for a big hit waiting waiting waiting. Rip me apart. I deserve it. Impatient and impulsive
  13. Wrong No idea what baseball you learned. It most definitely is the CF call. Yeah. CFs call trumps the other OFers
  14. The one time you want him to put it into play as he has most of the playoffs
  15. We have 162 games of data that shows the Cubs struggle against the curve. It's not going to suddenly change unless Rich Hill loses it at some point.
  16. Hopefully this is one of those "first time around the order" things.
