  1. Yes! Good thing the Cubs built their lifeup for big offense and no small ball and the Pirates built theirs for defense. Oh wait failed on both accounts
  2. Oh man that was a juicy pitch but I get the patience with the way he's throwing
  3. This is already better than the last 2 postseasons combined
  4. Yeah there's no way this banner ceremony will even come close to completing before first pitch. Oh well who cares go Cubs!
  5. Win or lose give us some damn moments to remember fondly. The last 2 playoffs a couple of early game HRs from Soto and DeRosa and that's it
  6. Ahh at least its the Japanese, they will understand being a baseball fanatic. Make sure you lie to them and tell them Wada was the winning pitcher tonight and our staff ace.
  7. Speaking of the Cardinals, tomorrow would be a good day to throw down the gauntlet on the Cardinals for their hacking scandal.
  8. So he is to be their first token sacrifice. The guy has super negative karma for divorcing his wife while she was battling breast cancer. I hope Rizzo specifically goes yard on him. Also I don't care if there is another angle to the story that absolves Lackey of being a classless [expletive], he's scum to me.
  9. Guys looking at the radar, I'm not sure we'll get this one in
  10. Dammit I was really calm all day, felt like I wasn't excited enough but all the sudden the game stomach just hit me and I don't think its going away until 10pm at the earliest.
  11. Nothing like changing the entire way your team plays the game for #163. I understand it. This is one game in (I believe) a pitchers park going against a starter who is in a historically dominant run. I mean the last time the Pirates faced Jake it was a 2 hit shutout and he's dominated them all year. At some point you need to try a new approach when you absolutely have to win a game against him. Plus they have a (slightly less but still very) dominant pitcher going, they are confident he can limit the Cubs offense and make this a really low scoring game. But I also understand the Cubs offensive focus. You hope there is a little rust to start the game, try to jump on him early and then ride your God-mode pitcher to the NLDS.
  12. I knew there was a name or two missing. Sad for Aramis if the Pirates lose. Not that I give a [expletive] because that means the Cubs won
  13. When you win 3 in 6 years the novelty wears off a little. I would be all jacked up for the banner raising tonight if the Cubs weren't playing in the Wild Card game at the same time. :nhl: :flythew: Yeah, it has nothing to do with the novelty wearing off. More so that there's some kinda important baseball game going on at the same time as the Hawks game. In 2010 I honestly cannot remember why but I had to miss the banner ceremony and I was pissed. I think it was some stupid country concert that my wife bought tickets to back in like March...either way stupid. In 2013, I was reverse commuting from the city to Lisle, and it was a horrible traffic day and didn't get home until the very tail end of the ceremony. Now this year I won't even be flipping to it, I can't take my attention for even a second off the Cubs. I'll have missed the large majority of all 3....oh well we'll just have to win a 4th.
  14. I have that Tiesto song that Rizzo uses stuck in my head and I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know what it's called?
