QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 10:13 PM) Welp, Cubs owned the Giants. It's an uphill battle from here but the series isn't over just yet. If the Giants can hold serve at home anything can happen in a game five. Giants definitely needed to find a way to win game one because shark didn't give them much of a chance in game two.

Probably won't matter but Baez show boating just cost them a run

Add insult to injury and that's why you don't stare it down

Costas clearly annoyed by Baez's antics as well

That's called karma, Javier Baez

I guess Conor's defense has improved

Giants need Belt to start hitting to have a chance in this series. Still hitless

Haha bumgarner ropes it then Bryant chucks it into the Cubs dugout

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) I'm blaming you Haha yea I know i forgot that Cubs pitchers were a reincarnation of murders row

This is turning into a weird game. Cubs pitchers now have as many RBI this series as the rest of their lineup and Madison Bumgarner is grabbing a bat seemingly to pinch hit.

Not sure what Conor is looking at there. 3-2 fastball down the middle

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Hendricks done, Giants lineup very vulnerable to lefty pitchers now True but Wood is beatable. He's usually boom or bust and they are probably going to ask for 2-3 innings out of him here. Hoping he has command issues, that's when he typically struggles

Battle of bullpens. This could get interesting. Would seemingly favor the Cubs since they are much deeper in the pen.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) He can make his points, I just don't understand the hyperaggression. He's constantly baiting and kissing the ass of the Cubs. If someone admired the Cubs so much not just because it's the Cubs but because they are a well run organization why so much focus on just them all the time while not kissing the ass of even better organizations like the Cardinals and Giants? I mean every reference to the Sox organizational failures is then tied to the Cubs success, why is that? I'd prefer the Sox be run like the much more successful St. Louis Cardinals.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) The Cubs being good directly hurts our team's business. That in turn correlates with how good we are. As fathom said, no Sox fan should root for the Cubs. Well it's because he's not a Sox fan.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I see irrational hatred and expose it for stupidity. You have no reason to hate the Cubs other than your thin skin. I'm not biting. You're not worth it

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Warm up Matt Moore Said it before the series started that Moore was the logical choice to start game 2. Not sure what they were thinking here

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) You? Clueless? Tell us more. You just love to troll don't you

Apparently I wasn't the only one that found Baez's home run stare down last night annoying https://www.sportingnews.com/amp/mlb/news/m...2?client=safari

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) Cubs game rocked. Love seeing the bitter sox fans here (it's quite sad actually). Should calm down and remember our sox fans during the 2005 run. It always seems like our players are the good ones, but standing back from a far, way to go Baez! Stare that s*** down! Still I kindaaaa want to see the Giants win it all just for the even year thing going on, but wouldn't mind the Cubs . Tonight is a critically important game. Cubs go up 2-0 and this series is all but over. Giants steal one here and the series momentum slightly swings to the Giants going home with Bumgarner. Unfortunately, the Giants have the Shark going. What an intense matchup, playoff baseball is great and I love being 0.2 miles away from Wrigley! You said that the Giants are no match for the Cubs and will be swept. This post doesn't sound nearly as confident as the prior post. Hedging?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) 20 hits in 5 games at Wrigley for the Giants I'm expecting that to change tomorrow, though Hendricks has been great at home this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) To be fair a portion of those posts are people watching their first game ever tonight. Remember last year when Cubs fans say they rooted their whole life to make it to the NLCS This series is far from over. Obviously tomorrow is basically a must win for the Giants but Hendricks is due for a stinker and just have to hope Shark is sharp.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/SSS_pnoles/statu...601904299053056 Brutal call and literally cost them the game.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) Who cares? He's great. I would trade any three of our position players not named Eaton for him LOL. Great? That's funny.
