10/20 Cubs (Lester) vs Dodgers (Maeda) 7 p.m., FS1
soccer10k replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Need a recommendation for a good place to watch tonight's game. Looking for somewhere either close by the Loop or off the blue line close to the Loop. Preferably within about a half mile from a train. My wife is meeting me there so I'm trying to keep it easier for her. Looking for a place with a decent beer selection and one that will hopefully have audio going for the game. -

Yeah, you've got to win 2 of 3 regardless. Might as well save Kershaw for normal rest. It's not like if they were down 3-1, started Maeda and got eliminated without Kershaw pitching. You're getting one start from Kershaw and unless you're dead set on starting Hill in Game 6 on short rest, you're stuck with a Maeda start anyway, whether its in Game 5 or 6. -
If Edwards is done, anyone know if there's a limit on how soon the Cubs have to declare him out? Like if he doesn't pitch tomorrow (which he probably wouldn't anyway), could they say he's hurt on Friday or do they have to do it before the next game?
-
Yup. Baseball season ends when the Cubs are done. I haven't watched a world series in my lifetime. Yeah ok, sure Mike Golic Yeah, at this point, I'll probably watch the World Series. I didn't watch the one in 03 and had we blown the Giants series, I wouldn't have watched the rest of the playoffs this year. But aside from some epic collapse (and I don't mean normal playoff crapshoot stuff like 2008), I'll watch the rest of the playoffs.
-
Yeah, horsefeathers LA. No chance I'm rooting for them.
-
Three teams have won all three of their UCL games so far: Barcelona Atletico Madrid Leicester City I know their group is probably the weakest in the field but it's still amazing that they're pretty much in the knockout stages after 3 games.
-
For some reason, I'm in a much better mood right now than I was 24 hours ago. I can't quite put my finger on exactly why, though. Cubs are throwing Lester, who has been a stud in the playoffs so far. Dodgers will probably be starting Maeda but really, who the hell knows if Roberts will switch it up and toss Kershaw out there. CUBS are 108-61-1 when they play a baseball game CUBS are 5-3 in the playoffs CUBS are 48-36-1 on the road CUBS are 26-8 when Lester starts CUBS are 6-5 against the Dodgers Go CUBS !!

I'm open for suggestions if anyone has one. The Lackey one was just so natural.
-
Please save some hits for the next two games, Rizzo.
-
I'd like to see Rondon get an inning. Hasn't pitched since Saturday and as long as he doesn't throw 25-30 pitches, he's available tomorrow.
-
So if the Cubs are going to continue that whole "3-game losing streak every postseason" thing they've got going on, at least we'll get a World Series appearance out of it this time.
-
If they throw to first and double up Zobrist after Bryant touches home, the run wouldn't count, right?
-
Zobrist got lucky that throw didn't go to first.
-
Keep throwing the ball around, LA.
-
A Javy slam to cap this horsefeathers off would be perfect.
-
Safe!
-
Jansen wouldn't have allowed this. Just sayin.
-
Come on, Rizzo. One (more) time!
-
Seems smart to hold the pitcher on first base.
-
Get those runs back!
-
Seriously, the entire narrative is about the Dodgers. The Cubs are just playing a supporting role in their story. Got to get your Dodger coverage in now. Won't be able to talk about them next week when they're watching the World Series at home.
-
Dodgers should probably bring Jansen in to keep the deficit at 3. He hasn't pitched in almost 24 hours so he should be rested.
-
Son of a bitch that could have been a DP.
-
the former White Sox third baseman? Oddly enough, a different Josh Fields. Yeah, this is WWE wrestler, Josh Fields. http://d3k2oh6evki4b7.cloudfront.net/req/201604090/images/headshots/1/1e786723_mlbam.jpg

Baez out there throwing BP right now.
