Cub fans will put me in a state mental hospital drooling in a chair if they win it all with all the bs I get daily from them. Hahaha

1-0 royals

Interesting article. http://www.ibtimes.com/chicago-cubs-vs-new...15-nlcs-2144391

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) Very much yes. And not "all" of them either. I have some very close friends that I've known my whole life that are high on sports right now. More power to them. 2005 was super fun as a Sox fan. And those friends of mine were very complimentary of the Sox in 2005. As much as I hate the stereotypical Cubs fan, and the way the media trips over themselves to embellish the franchise... I am silently rooting for the Cubs just so those aforementioned close friends can experience what we got to experience in 2005. And on a side note, if the Cubs do go on to win the ALCS or even World Series, does that put any pressure on the Sox to maybe rethink things a little? Am I thinking too much? I would not mind seen the little old lady cub fan see a world series win. The bangwagon freaks will ruin it.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) If I didn't hate the Cubs and - to a lesser extent - the Royals so much, I'd say this is one of the better pairs of LCS in quite a while. I don't hate Cub players. Just the fans.

What do you guys think of the manager match up? How does Collins out do Maddon?

Getting a tad cocky already. Mets friend sent me this. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/vie...4&start=200 Quote: Mets it is. This is the preferred matchup over the dodgers. We can stomp these guys. Who are they likely to start game 1? Quote: Cubs will have the better starting pitcher by WAR and xFIP in 5 of the 7 games. Quote: No Greinke, no Kershaw, and fewer Lefties is A-OK with me. Quote: Make them squeal like the little New York piglets they are. Quote: Cubs have a better rotation, bullpen, offense and bench, both at the top end and depth-wise. The Mets are better than they were in June, but so are the Cubs.

Will the black cat show up at citi field?

Lots of respect for Terry Collins. Hugging the fans and his dad just passed away. Congratulations mets.

QUOTE (Soxfan90 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) Both the Dodgers and the Mets aren't too impressive. Cubs are going to beat whoever they play the in NLCS. This has been a great game. Real baseball unlike the cardinals.

3-2 mets

2-2

He got out of it

Degrom s***ting the bed.

Mets up 1-0 but here come the dodgers.

Cubs fans here at work are freaking out about russell.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) Toronto bats figure to bash the Royals. If the Dodgers win they should maul the Cubs. Sorry KC fans, the best teams are going to prevail and Toronto is just a better hitting team than KC and KC's pitching has reeked pretty much. Cubs aren't ready for prime time. They are hot admittedly. Toronto-LAD World Series will have low ratings. Will the mets bash the cubs?

Here is the article about that 70 year old cub fan in buffalo grove. http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/33362478-story

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 09:18 AM) Maddon is pretty good at what he does I agree Kyle. Just the fans put him on a God level.

Look at this. The genius at work! http://nypost.com/2015/10/14/joe-maddon-ha...leeve-for-nlcs/

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) Everything has gone right for the cubs and players have had career years and in Arrieta's case a once in a generation career year. I think the cubs will be good but I think they only win 80 games next year. They have have sustained very few injuries. I don't know about that. Maddon is a genius remember?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) Waiting 70 years for an appearance in the NLCS? Was he in a coma in 2003? I am thinking a world series title. His basement was full of cub stuff.

Watching the news this morning and they found a cub fan in Buffalo Grove that has been waiting for this for 70 years. I wonder where they find these people?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) Looks like Houston gave up. Swinging at everything Sounds like the cardinals
