I honestly think it's a toss up if they'll start him game 2 or 3. Guess we'll find out soon.

Gave Roberts s*** for the way he handled the starters for g4 and 5 but loved how he handled the pen tonight.

Possibly Kershaw for the 9th.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 10:46 AM) Was the '03 team really that good? I didn't follow baseball then. Talent wise they were loaded but apparently something just didn't mesh right. It was frustrating because if they snuck into the playoffs they would have been able to throw a cy young caliber Loaiza, Colon, Buehrle and Garland at people with 2 of the best relievers in baseball at the back end of the pen, not to mention all the big bats. Frustrating team.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 09:21 AM) I'm still shaking my head about what could have been in 2003. I've said it plenty of times on this board but if it wasn't for 2005, that 03 team would still haunt me. They were absolutely loaded.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Is that you? Or is that guy gone? Not me. And he's not banned or anything, he just doesn't post anymore.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) And is AustinIllini the same as that Krush poster we used to have? It may have been IlliniKrush or OrangeKrush or something. Ha..no.

Paige and Del Rio will do very well on the Indy's I'm sure. I bet Paige is gone from WWE semi soon but I'm also sure she'll be back in a few years when she matures a little bit. Burned bridges are never burned bridges in WWE.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) This game could be a blow out either way or a nail-biter. Thanks man.

This sums up my position perfectly: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-dodgers...rt-julio-urias/

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) the nationals would probably bash urias it's do or die, not saying I don't understand your point but the dodgers should have taken care of business if they wanted to make sure kershaw had full rest. Why would the Nationals bash Urias? And game 5 would be do or die too. You have to put yourself in the best position to win both, not just one. Fully rested Urias and Kershaw > Short rest Kershaw and Hill.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) You're acting like Kershaw is average in Oct....oooooh Has nothing to do with what he's done in October. What gives you a better chance of winning two games: Kershaw on short rest and Hill on short rest or Urias on full rest and Kershaw on full rest? Easy choice.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 12:59 PM) Kershaw starting on short rest today with the season the line instead of Julio Urias. Really stupid.

Greenberg better make the stupid idiot list next week. Besides that, he can stay off my tv.

Taking any mental aspect out of it, there's just no way I'd want to face the Cueto-Bum combo in game 5.

Staying up late for extra inning playoff baseball was much more fun when it was the White Sox...and I was in college.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Also...in fairness: https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/785692486714875904 And this picture f***in blows as you can't see much but I'll play devils advocate for the f*** of it.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) We've had our disagreements about Cubs and White Sox issues, but There's no way any self-respecting White Sox fans should support a drug cheat. Arguably one of the best parts of the White Sox is their noted history of being anti-PED usage. In fact, that 2005 team only had one suspected steroid user (Ozuna) lol ok, if you say so...on all of this.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) One is a possible HOF, the other a backup catcher. I personally couldn't care less about steroids but it's amazing how Ortiz gets a pass when nobody else does.

Ya, that's complete garbage.

I get to watch tonight's game with two of my best friends who are both die hard Cubs fans in a downtown St. Louis bar. This should be all of the fun.

Damn Kal, I'm so sorry.

This would be the last match up I'd want if I were a Cubs fan. Having to face Cueto-Bum at least 3 times(you know Bum is coming in for relief if need be after game 3) in a very short series is not ideal.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) Well, there are organized protests that get messages out. Some people on here who are blasting me seem to be up for spontaneous protests. If you want yourself or your kid to get arrested and never hold a job again, go ahead and encourage that. Why is kneeling during the anthem an effective protest? Like I said, you are harming a group, the military, that has nothing to do with this. The anthem is their solemn song. If you doubt that, look at them during the anthem. What's wrong with a legal protest. Again, if you do otherwise you may never work again with a big fat blotch on your police record. No employer is gonna give a good job to somebody with a record. I guarantee you at least one person(that's all you said you needed) in the military past or present has read your posts on this topic and has been offended. Way to harm military, Greg.
