QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Eh STL is a shell of itself. LA or NY are much better teams. Couldn't agree more. Said in other thread I think us Cubs haters should root for Mets tonight, as two straight Dodgers wins means an unfavorable matchup in game 1 of NLCS of Arrieta vs Anderson/Wood/Bolsinger

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) Well Hammel is trash so there's hope. Maddon is going to have him on an incredibly short leash unfortunately

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) There goes my buzz. on the bright side, at least the Mets have pitchers with actual "stuff".

first pitch fastball to Baez is just insane

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) I am sure he was but Matheny wanted Lackey Matheny is also the worst in baseball at handling a pitching staff by some metrics. Not sure there was anyone that thought Lackey pitching today was a good choice.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) And decision to pitch Lackey on 3 days rest already looks terrible. I really don't get why Garcia wasn't available.

Ballgame, Cubs have a horseshoe so up their ass this season.

Yay, 2 out RBI to the pitcher. Cardinals just have no pitching left.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) Sickening part is the crap i have to hear from cubs fans on a daily basis about how its a lock they will win the world series. It's clearly going to be awful living in Chicago for a while if they end up winning. Just have to hope they don't win it all and ends up shutting up the bandwagoners....until next season starts up

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) His plan is to play one more season if possible. According to Spiegel. Supposedly Braves really want to bring him back

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) I'm not in Chicago, so tell me what it's like. Is it total Cub fever? Or are Sox fans helping keep down the craziness? Last night's game had all those home runs and chicks love the long ball, so what is it? Cub mania or just normal playoff atmosphere? Anything sickening? Cubs mania

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) They've been breaking down all season. Wainwright, Martinez, Walden, Grichuk, Molina, Holliday, Adams

Can he be Sale's personal catcher?

Kurkijan said this morning on Mike and Mike that the Red Sox might have the best chance, followed by Cubs/Dodgers to get Price.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 03:05 PM) ESPN showed the one when there was a fire at a library at Auburn, in which 20 books were destroyed. He said the tragedy was 15 of them hadn't been colored in yet. Loved the one about how you can't spell Citrus without UT

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) Why Lackey, though? I'm pretty sure it will be David Price in a Cubs uniform. I've read a few places lately they'll go after Price and Lackey for their rotation.

Kershaw game 4 and Greinke game 5 if needed. This is awful in terms of possible Cubs series if Dodgers win next 2. Looking at Arrieta vs Anderson or Wood in Game 1

Mets just seem better than the Dodgers

Cespedes hit that ball so hard

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 03:10 AM) I wouldn't mind it. On Soxtalk, every fan annoys us if they're not White Sox fans from what I've learned. If anything Sox fans should relate to mets fans

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 03:09 AM) Eh, I'm on both sides of this. They had the ability to get Price, but they weren't going to give up Seager or Urias to do it. Their line of thinking was, why give up prospects when we can get him in the offseason. Problem is, they never had a guy who could step up and be a #3 starter. Honestly, they would've been smart to look for a Quintana for Puig type deal considering he's not even being used (I understand he's injured, but even if he wasn't, he wouldn't be the surefire starter). Friedman is overvaluing prospects though. I think this year, the league was as wide open as ever. Good post

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 03:02 AM) Ugh, the Mets fans are almost as bad as the Cardinal fans. The National League is just so hatable. What's wrong with Mets fans

Lackey tomorrow...bombs away

Saw Bernstein on Twitter speculating Arrieta's arm is bugging him due to an excessive amount of stretching by him between pitches

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 02:53 AM) The $300 million team has 2 starting pitchers they can trust. I will never understand what the Dodgers and Cardinals were thinking at the deadline
