Just wish we had more above average 3 point shooters. With no one knowing how long Dunleavy will be out that leaves us with McDermott, Brooks and Mirotic (assuming last years numbers were a fluke) and I definitely don't think any of those 3 are elite All that said, many of the best teams in the league tend to shoot a ton of 3s so it's a step in the right direction for sure.

The thing I love about this team is that in the second half, pretty much every series where I felt like it could have gone either way, the Cubs have come out with a bang. Examples: -big series in Pittsburgh coming off a 4 game sweep of the Brewers in early August, the Cubs score 3 runs in the first 3 innings and cruise to a 5-0 win -first game of the Giants series, the biggest series of the season to that point, the Cubs jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead setting the tone for a huge weekend -Although the road trip wasn't super successful, the Cubs start a big west coast trip in SF and jump out to a 8-0 lead and win -Big series in St Louis and the matchup is Lynn vs Haren, Cubs score 8 runs in the first 3 innings -the Cubs dropped the first in Pittsburgh but stormed back to win the next 3 -Cubs/Cards at Wrigley and the Cubs score 3 in the first en route to 8-3 win I am hoping for another quick start tomorrow - -
The Cubs are in the final 9!

She said something fairly dumb earlier but I can't remember what it was. Other than that she's been pretty good.

I obviously choose B but the meatball arguing with you would probably say that you never know if you are going to get back there, point to Nationals, etc and probably think that home field makes a huge difference even though it's like a 54/46 advantage for the average team, and not considering that the road team had the best road record in the league this year. But the biggest thing is that...the Cubs finished with 97 wins, the 3rd best record in baseball and a game behind the 2nd best. The Cubs are not playing a road wild card game because they didn't bring up Bryant right away...they are playing on the road in the wild card game because they had the misfortune of having the only 2 teams with better records than them happen to play in the same division.

I can't believe Hinch seems to want to remove Keuchel after 5.2 IP and 86 pitches

They are showing the championship video on NHL Network right now. Just started at 8:30

You guys need to quit being scaredy ass bitches. You'll feel so [expletive] good when the Cubs win the play in game. It's not being scared, it's anticipation, anxiousness, being excited etc. or as Pat Hughes called it today "game stomach"
-
Dammit get that Cubs/Pirates banner away from the cameras. This is supposed to be the game I relax and enjoy but every 2 seconds I see that banner and my stomach turns.
-
I wouldn't mind a Yankees Royals series just because of their 70s/early 80s rivalry
-
It still feels unnatural to see the Astros in the AL For some reason when the Brewers switched it felt natural from the start for me
-
Well for you its win win. If they win you will see them in the NLDS, if they lose you wouldn't have wanted to be there anyways
-
[expletive] the media for turning today into "omgz the Cubs could have had this game at Wrigley if they broke camp with Kris Bryant on the roster" day

Dude Cutch, why you gotta be so cool? http://www.theplayerstribune.com/pirates-wild-card-postseason/ Just a brief quote from it:
-
I can't even laugh because I feel like that's bad karma for our historically [expletive] on franchise this week.

I hate these new MNF graphics. Looks like a design from the 90s and it takes up too much of the screen. I also hate that the graphics disappear as a play begins and reappear after it ends.

Someone take over a country and name Jake king so Fred will allow it

I know this is premature but next Monday's high in Chicago (first division series home game) is 79 degrees. Translation: nice weather for some donging

I'm going to avoid this thread if you are going to constantly talk about how awesome Saad is :(

Can we get the 08 Cubs and whoever the rainout was against back together to play that makeup game so we don't have a half game separating us. If they win I can live with it. You have to choose a night Jim Edmonds isn't escorting. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk you get a heart even through your formatting is all jacked up.

At Wrigley, SRO is at the very back of the 200 level. Terrible place to watch a game as pretty much everything besides the actual field is blocked from the overhang. So you might see all the fielders (or might not depending on pole placement where you stand) but you won't see the OF wall or the stands or scoreboards etc. I can understand wanting to just get in the park and for an NLCS or World Series game I would totally do it...would never do it for a regular season game.

Also...Buster Olney on The Dan Patrick Show today on Jake:

Being emotional is fine, but making irrationally negative posts is not fine imo. You do not better the board or discussing by declaring game over in the third inning or other even more irrational thoughts. But the scolding of such posters makes the game thread infinitely more enjoyable. Exactly...baseball sometimes a slower paced sport...you have to do something to entertain yourself during the lulls in action.

they start friday? i could've sworn i'd been hearing for weeks about how the hawks opener was going to be the same night as the NL wild card game It is...Hawks and Rangers at the UC on Wednesday
