  1. I survived the last four times they lost the NLCS, I can handle this one as long as they don't do anything particularly soul-sucking like get swept again or blow a 98% chance to win the series again.
  2. Yeah, I doubt that the partial inning he threw last night hurts him any. It was the 100+ on short rest that would be problematic. If it were me, I'd pitch him in game 3 and 7 to give him extra rest, but who knows.
  3. Lackey's 38. Theo gave him IMO one year too many and too much $, but here we are. Lackey is a SSS and also happens to be a horse. Bartolo Colon existing doesn't mean any of those Ex Cubs should still be around because Dusty. "Could" and "should" are not interchangeable
  4. 538 has the Cubs at 64% to win the series
  5. Fangraphs thinks Dodgers are slight favorites
  6. I'm claiming gentleman's sweep and giving the Giants no credit.
  7. Cubs should be at least a small favorite over either LA or WAS. So the Cubs are probably going to the World Series. It is slightly more probable than not.
  8. That probably is a bad deal, but only by a couple of percentage points.
  9. Our virgin neighbors are watching us through the window and laughing at our mediocre sex. Our stud neighbors who happened to strike out tonight are watching our virgin selves and laughing at our failing to get a handy yet again
  10. you know it is bad when your point of reference for rallying is a game you still lost They did, but the Cubs of years past would have folded like an accordion in the 9th. This team has fight in it. I think they will rally tonight. Think of it like Kerry's HR in game 7.

  12. Our role in this season was to be the scientist who is way smarter than everyone else who knows ghosts don't exist and then gets ripped in half by one at the end of the first act.
  13. This makes no sense. Do you think they deserve extra wins for games 3 or 4? Was Jon Lester pitching like Jon Lester luck of some sort? Was us beating up terrible Jeff samardzjia something that wasn't supposed to happen? Seriously, stop. Be better than John smoltz. For me Game 1 was a push. Good starting pitching by both. Also remember that our offense has done almost nothing. It's been our pitchers and backup catcher doing all the damage. I feel like SF's bullpen and offense have been better. It might not be that much better, but better. If game one was a "push," so was 3
  14. We were 16 games better than the Giants this year. That is slightly less than 1 extra win per 10 games. You just can't expect that to show up reliably in a five game series.
  15. Go find a cliff They're all full of Cubs hitters. Not waiting in that line.
  16. Spend the next two days working on your "it is okay, we have so much young talent, we will be back lots of times" posts.
  17. So is our history of improbable defeats, but it doesn't make it less annoying
