Whew that 2-2 pitch was a hanger

Davis you idiot

And of course Miller isn't on his game

Umpire has been giving Lester everything since he started complaining (even though ump had been correct)

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 12:27 AM) Has this been talked about? Since Theo took over in 2012, the Cubs record is 400-409 (without playoff record). This is obviously including the full rebuild they went through, including a 101 loss season, and a 96 loss season. They told fans this was a 5 year process, and things would be rough early on. During that same stretch, the Sox are 375-435, and have tried to "go for it" every year. Just some food for thought. That's because the duo of Hahn and Ventura is terrible

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) Jesus. My FB timeline is fans celebrating and reacting to the World Series championship. Oh wait. It makes sense, but I have never seen more Cubs shirts/hats worn than what I saw today. Even in a predominantly White Sox area, it was almost all Cubs fans.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:48 AM) I follow you but being able to sign an ace for that kind of money is something the Sox couldn't afford to do. I'm not sure a rotation of Hendricks, Arrieta, Lackey, Hammel gets them past the Giants. Probably not. Even Lackey is making more than the Sox would ever give a pitcher

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:44 AM) I'm upset we are stuck with incompetent ownership and management with no hope of the necessary changes being made for the foreseeable future. Multiple World Series wins for the Cubs and this team will never recover. The 2005 team was complete luck given how badly they squandered a huge opportunity to grow the fan base. I'm not sure how the Sox recover their fanbase unless they start winning a lot of games again for a few seasons

Only part of the rebuild they got lucky on is Arrieta and Hendricks.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:23 AM) I said this awhile ago. The White Sox do not have the same financial resources as the Cubs so modeling a rebuild after them is not even realistic anyway. If anything, they should be following the model the Indians or Royals have used in recent years. They can start by strengthening the bullpen and defense. Yep paying 155 million for An ace is something Sox could never do

Activate LeBron....God knows he would eliminate the Chicago team

It's more funny that people thought Hahn was a legit GM candidate after Hendry left

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:51 AM) Can't say they didn't deserve it. Built the right way. Now finish it. If they have to win it, rather it be a year where they are easily the best team and not some fluke. Also you could see this coming from day one this season, so it was easier to prepare for than out of nowhere like last season.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:46 AM) I've watched every Cleveland playoff game but one and they have impressed me more than the Cubs have this postseason to be honest. Whether or not they can sustain that level of play is obviously the big question, but if they do they will give the Cubs all they can ask for. Indians offense kinda struggled though against Toronto. Naquin swinging an invisible bat.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:38 AM) We're witnessing history, folks. This will never be forgotten in Chicago sports history and the history of baseball. Get ready to remember where you were when the Cubs won the pennant. No riots in Chicago. Hope all the old people in the stadium get home safely. Truly think it means very little if they don't win it all

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:29 AM) Oh, fathom. Life wouldn't be complete without you and your butthurt attitude. And you only posting when Cubs are winning. But please keep acting like you aren't rooting for them like crazy. It's entertaining

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:25 AM) Cub fans sure didnt want to see Henricks leave that game. That gasp from the crowd was pretty cool when Maddon left the dugout. You sure it wasn't their fans ducking in case Chapman tried to shoot them?

Wonder if ABC will cut away from good football game for the celebration?

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 01:56 AM) I'm at a party tonight full of cubs fans. It's more painful than watching the game. Sorry buddy

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:46 AM) More pain. At least this game wasn't close

It's gonna be awkward when Blanton is in the Cubs locker room drinking champagne after the game

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:29 AM) So I guess it is time to start talking about a Cleveland versus Chicago World Series. This Dodgers team is absolute toast. Kluber in game 1 is a must win game for Indians IMO. At least Indians have some speed to go against Lester

Kershaw has nothing tonight unfortunately. I'm sure Tomlin and Merritt will be way better

Rajai Davis looks like the best player in history vs the sox. I won't be pleased if he looks awful vs the Cubs.

Thanks again Jerry for being too cheap to sign Fowler this past offseason
