I really don't want Ross to be the goat
-
Ok now I'm emotional. I've been having "can you imagine if this prospect came up big in game 7 of the WS" since probably Pat Cline. Baez tagging one ... allergies are starting to pick up.
-
If Lester comes in and a stolen base is involved in a blown lead I might quit baseball forever
-
8 more and I might feel comfortable
-
I think Kyle Hendricks might be my favorite Cub
-
I don't get emotional at sports very often, but in 2010 when they showed the Cup waiting in the hallway with four minutes to go in Philly, it got dusty. There will probably be something like that tonight that gets me, but right now I'm still pretty numb. How can it really all come down to one simple baseball game?!

I'm honored
-
This win will put the Cubs' postseason win percentage ahead of their regular season
-
So when is the deadline to protect guys from the Rule 5 and do we have a thread yet?
-
We will get to see them at the parade in a few days though
-
I'm not sure it has sunk in yet what is about to happen. This is surreal
-
I was thinking how crazy it is to be 16 games deep into the postseason and getting enough sample to level some things out. That is 10% of a season
-
Well this is fun

Smash this tomato can

Just one more flash of God Mode and then you can turn back into a pumpkin forever Arrieta
-
I'm in "happy to be here, probably going to lose the series but oh well this is cool" mode tonight. I'll completely lose it before a game 7 though.

I didn't ask you because I have absolutely zero interest in your preferences about what I say. if you wanted a personal response from david, you should have sent a pm. otherwise, don't ask stupid questions if you don't want to hear the answer. Don't spaz out when people have the audacity to frame subjective questions differently than you would.

Ok, then I'll just triple down out of spite. The probability is still the same. If we were ranking by championship leverage, a generic LCS game 7 would be exactly the same as a generic WS game 6 while down 3-2
-
How many different ways do you want me to say "the probability of winning the title is the same but they obviously feel different"? none. i don't think anyone wants you to say that or ever wanted you to say that I didn't ask you because I have absolutely zero interest in your preferences about what I say.

In emotional terms or whatever, sure. But in terms of championship utility, there is no difference between a 50% chance to win a 7-game series and a 50% chance to win game 7. there are a lot of differences, actually. every moment in that game 7 is much higher leverage. while that's the same for both participants, it's still a hell of a lot different. and more was accomplished and banked to get to that point. How many different ways do you want me to say "the probability of winning the title is the same but they obviously feel different"?

that's just dumb. today is "win today and you can win the world series tomorrow." none of us has seen that. arguing that Game 6 of the WS is equivalent to Game 7 of an NLCS makes no sense at all. but you do you. well, if you completely take out the human elements and drown out the excitement in pharmaceuticals or rely only on numbers divorced of context, then yeah, they might be somewhat equal. maybe. Sometimes I have trouble telling people apart if they have similar haircuts

This game is functionally tied with game 7 2003. Both were "win and you are 50/50 to win the WS, lose and you are 0."
-
They might as well win it now. If I can't have my first choice ending, second choice will do.
