I finally got my tv box to work, so I get to watch live tonight instead of 2 pitches behind on fox-go's stream.

Get the Corinthian outta here sofa, that mofo is scary as horsefeathers. I will take morpheus or fiddler's green though.

Huh, I never see anything leinenkuegel but summer shandy on the east coast. And in the past 6 years I've lived in eastern PA, pittsburgh, maine, atlanta, and maryland (also Nebraska, but not east coast). I mean, I'm only 22 so it's not like I was in the beer distributor or buying beer every weekend for that entire span, but I went fairly often with my dad and looked around all the time.

I dunno what they did in the past, I moved to Maryland this year and went to Camden Yards 3 times. Had never been there before. They were selling heineken, leinenkuegel, and bud/bud light as far as I remember.

I myself will be going vodka until I'm out of it, then rum until I'm out of that. Then I guess we'll find out what is needed next based on the Cubs.

Speaking of leinenkuegel or however the hell you spell it. Its a company based in wisconsin, and usually you only see their summer shandy available nationwide, and obviously just for the summer. The rest of the year you don't hear boo from them on the east coast. But in camden yards in baltimore they have 3-4 different exclusive Leinenkuegel vendors. At least they did this year. I was shocked to see that midwest brand as a fixture in baltimore of all places.

My favorite type of beer is usually a cold weather style called barleywine. Most microbreweries I've seen have one starting around this time of year. But if you're going the typical, available from any old place kind of beer, I dunno, pick any of the myriad Oktoberfest brews available. Or leinenkuegel grapfruit shandy if that's your thing. Have to drink those when they're freezing cold though, or else they're not as good, and I prefer the summer shandy anyway. Edit: and if you're looking for a big case of cans I have a special place in my heart for Miller High Life. Yes I know my taste in beer is horsefeathering out there.

AHAHAHAHA ding dong that was perfect.

I can really see Contreras being the spark plug kind of guy. If you watched the ALCS game yesterday, Encarnacion hit a two run single at one point and pretty much pounded his chest and pointed at the dugout yelling to fire up his team the whole time he ran down to first base. Contreras is the type to do that I think.

I can't get past the lathered on british accent saying jaguar like "jaggy-wa" in any of their commercials. Tossing in stephen hawking and spinning a camera around him like he's a badass is just an odd marketing decision. Like the guy is pretty remarkable, but not exactly the spitting image of elegant badassery that they're trying to sell you on with their cars.

What the hell is with this gigantic doom-boner of a thread pregame? WHERE ARE THE GIFS AND THE SIMPSONS QUOTES? WHERE ARE THE NACHOS AND THE LOVE FOR OUR TEAM, THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL? We weren't gonna win every horsefeathering game, do you not realize that the best team wins only like 55%-66% of the time? Its a crapshoot you ninnies, go be closet crazy curse-calling Cubs fans by yourself, this is a place for wanting and expecting the Cubs to win. Sweet horsefeathering christ I hope I get a chance to start a thread this postseason. I'm third down the line, so only way I get in is if we're in the World Series. That having been said, PUT SOME [expletive] EFFORT INTO STARTING YOUR THREAD THOUGH PEOPLE. What are we, getting ready for spring training to start? This is the best Cubs team anyone alive has ever seen, and they're 3 WINS FROM THE WORLD SERIES. How are we not thrilled to be here, regardless of a couple of tough days against two outstanding pitchers? I want pictures and and stats and predictions and good vibes from these threads, at least from the game thread starters for shits sake. The Cubs are struggling on offense right now, but it's exhilarating to have the chance to watch them turn it around tonight, TO TIE UP THE NLCS, in case any of you freakin schmucks forgot that it takes 4 losses to lose the series, not 2. Who in their right horsefeathering mind thinks that simply because a pitcher throws a curveball, he has the golden ticket to automatically shutting down our offense? What the horsefeathers is that? You think our whole entire lineup is named Pedro Cerrano? Go Cubs, just relax and go have fun. Play your game, it's what got you this far. /rant Edit: horsefeathers, really sorry about your dog gobigred. more impactful than anything that happens on a baseball field I'm sure.

Rizzo is gonna wake up in a big way right here

Must be horsefeathering nice to have an extra 3-6 inches tacked on the strikezone. Call me a meatball, but my eye-test showed the dodgers pitchers getting at least 10 calls that the cubs pitchers didn't.

Rizzo wants to help out so bad that he's hurting his own chances.

Is there anything else you can do at this point? When javy makes a javy play I can't do anything but just cackle anymore. I have no more amazement or astonishment to give. He's just a joy to watch play.

Only freaking javy.

Holy horsefeathers baez' instincts and his willingness to take risks are actually absurd. Will he ever cease to amaze?

HEYWARD!

Well FS1 picked one of my two favorite kanye songs for the intro. Good start.

LETS GOOOOO

First response to the "All the game start times are 7:08" tweet was pretty good. "7:08? You mean 19:08 in military time?"

Ahahahaha lester

Really would be nice for Rizzo to wake up. I'm sure it's bugging him more than it is any of us though. Not worried, Lackey is gonna come up big for us. Didn't like pulling Rondon after one batter, he didn't look bad and it was freaking Buster Posey, the man who can't do anything but hit the ball hard. I would've let him go at least one more guy.

Almora you brilliant man!
