I think that regardless of what happens, Bama and Ohio State are locks to get into the playoff. I think that if Clemson and Washington win, they're in. If Colorado beats Washington, I bet they take the 4th spot. The Pac-12 didn't have a team in the playoff last year, and I bet the committee wants to keep it from being two years in a row. If Clemson loses, I think the winner of Oklahoma-Oklahoma State takes their spot. I think Michigan is horsefeathers out of luck, because even if both Clemson and Washington lose, and even if they don't bump Colorado in at that point, I have to imagine the Big Ten champ will have more stock than Michigan.

Guess they gotta keep all 15 nationals fans interested somehow. Harper sucked this year, their team left the playoffs early, Strasburg might be dead, and they have Dusty for a manager.

Roughing the center is a penalty that prevents teams from driving right through the long-snapper on field goals/punts. Due to the extra effort/attention that the long snapper has to give to the snap, it's deemed an unfair advantage to just run him over. You can jump over him if you want, but if you even touch him before he looks up from snapping the ball it's a penalty. In my high school games the referee that spotted the ball would always repeat over and over on field goals "lay off the center, don't hit the center". That's my input on roughing the center, but holy horsefeathers how many upsets happened today?

Arguing with a cardinals fan is like wrestling with a pig. After about 20 minutes you're up to your elbows in horsefeathers, and you realize the pig likes it.

I enjoy watching most sports. I care about the Cubs more than anything else in sports, but I generally enjoy watching football more than baseball. Namely, college football. CFB>MLB>NHL and then the rest just fall in the same boat for me. This is a fun tangent to stretch this thread out though.

THE CUBS ARE 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

Hang on, did you say estimates are at 5 million based on Rizzo's guess? If so, HAHAHA. If not, and thats a real estimate, holy horsefeathers that's a TON of people. -
Honestly, I want to re-sign Chapman. He is a generational talent, and he is in his prime. This might be pretty meatbally, but for most of the time he was on the team Chapman seemed like a robot. He never smiled, never showed emotion. He looked mean, never showed more than a smirk. That narrative in my mind got flipped on its head in the last 3 innings of game 7. He was sobbing in the dugout during the rain delay after letting the team down (which I blame Maddon for more than Chapman), and he was going just as nuts as the rest of them during the 10th and in the celebration. I dunno, I can envision it playing out with him really embracing this fun, young, successful team and being more than just a hired gun. I understand that a lot of people want nothing to do with him because of the off the field issue, and I say issue because as far as I'm aware there has only been one incident. I want to believe that the domestic violence and gun incident was a one time lapse in judgement/morality and that he'll never do anything like it again, regardless of whether we sign him or not. And obviously I'm basing my interest in him on the notion that nothing like that ever happens again.

THE CUBS ARE 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

Yeah, all of them had 3 and only Kipnis had 4. -
Wow, just reading the term "golden pitches" and thinking about the fact that either team could have won is giving me the chills.
-
I haven't read every single post in this thread, so this may have been mentioned already, but game 7 featured the league leaders in ERA+ for both the AL and NL going head to head in Kluber and Hendricks. Fitting I suppose.

I'm just playing out different scenarios for the way this game can go in my head. How crazy and awesome would it be of this game is just a absolute coronation of the Cubs? Schwarber, Rizzo, Bryant.. What if they all dong in the first couple innings. I'm practically swooning just thinking of it. On the other hand any situation where we go down early has me wanting to curl up in the fetal position.

It seriously looks like they handed creative control over to a 4 year old using MS Word. That logo is just so so bland and ill conceived. Edit: yes, I mean MS Word. Because even in paint you could be more creative than that.

We have the best pitcher in baseball going for us. In game 7 of the world series. I'm not sleeping. Not even gonna try.
-
He would have to be blowing lines of cocaine right before or during gametime for it to really have any impact on his on field performance.
-
Fox sports go will if you have a tv provider login. Looking at our lineup, if we don't win this one we don't deserve to win this series. This lineup is the stuff of nightmares for opposing pitchers. Get it done cubs.
-
Admittedly, it is kinda interesting to imagine how the series would look if we had given up Schwarber for Miller. But horsefeathers that noise, Schwarber is gonna be the second batter in the Cubs' first world series game since 1945. Ahhhh I can't wait to watch the lovable lunk smash a baseball.
-
He certainly wasn't hauling ass on the double, but he was moving fine. The fact that he slid with no hesitation makes me 100% confident health isn't a concern. I can't wait to watch him hit. These past few days have to have been a dream. WE GET TO WATCH SCHWARBER HIT AGAIN. THIS YEAR.
-
If Schwarbs comes back and smashes a dong in his first at bat, I'm gonna cry like a baby. And I didn't shed a single tear for winning the pennant.
-
I was ecstatic. Didn't cry, but I'm pretty young so it hasn't been that long of a wait for me. The last play I jumped up and ran around yelling "THAT SHOULD BE IT THAT SHOULD BE IT THAT SHOULD BE IT" as soon as Puig hit it.

Planning on being in wrigleyville for saturday and sunday. Possibly friday too.

JAVY AND LESTER OMG I'M SO HAPPY

I WOULD UNQUESTIONABLY HAVE SEX WITH THEO EPSTEIN IF HE WANTED ME TO. Seriously though, he is absolutely the most perfect gm/president ever.
