Pedro Strop is easily the most annoying player on this Cubs roster

Easiest NLCS MVP vote ever

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Slight momentum shift there if the Cubs can follow it up with a couple of runs and make it interesting again. Nah series is over. Cy Colon is in

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) Schwarber is almost forcing the Cubs to catch or trade him. I have a feeling they'll try catching first before selling him low mostly based on the fact that his defense in the OF has been so overexposed this post-season. Knowing/fearing it was a problem and actually seeing it rear its ugly head on the big stage are two different things for Cubs' fans. But I thought some people here thought the Cubs wouldn't even trade him for Rodon? LMAO

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) Jessie Rogers before the game was pretty much guaranteeing the Cubs would score 7 runs tonight. Both him and Kaplan are idiots. Kaplan on the Score was nearly guaranteeing a Cubs win today and saying I just don't understand why everyone thinks the Mets are going to win tonight. They are treating DeGrom like a 28 year old Sandy Koufax, the Cubs are going to break out the bats at home, etc. GMAB Kaplan, you are a dillusional Cubs fan just like so many others out there

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) Their time is running out Still waiting for J4L to pop in. At least AustinIllini has faced the music (sort of)

I was way off on my prediction of Mets in 6. I doubt this series sees a fifth game.

Ballgame

Haha, eventually Schwarber would be exposed out there

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) I was in San Francisco drinking wine, hiking and not thinking about the children on this board nor the imminent implosion of the Cubs. convenient

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:51 AM) Biding their time. Their time is running out

Why is it that guys like Jordan4life and AustinIllini disappear from these threads when the Cubs start losing?

I know we aren't even half way thru the first game but I feel much better about this Mets team matching up with the Cubs than I did about the cardinals (or dodgers if they had advanced). The mets have an equal "it" factor as the Cubs and their starting pitching is downright filthy. Many parallels to this team and the 69 Amazin Mets. I think the Cubs may have met their match. Mets in 6.

Bad time to have your worst game of the second half Arrieta. It's a bullpen game now. If the cards can hold the Cubs scoreless here on out I think they win this game. Big if of course. Series is over if Cards pull this one out.

Very fortunate only 2 runs. Everything is up

Very fortunate. Could have been much worse than 2 runs. Everything is up

Hanger. Release point definitely lost. He's in trouble

Meatball and he takes it. Clearly guessing slider there

Uh oh. Arrieta lost his release point.

QUOTE (Soxfan90 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 09:36 AM) Keuchel and Cole, the two losing pitchers in the Wild Card games. Go Yankees and go Cubs! 0-1, hopefully 0-2 after tomorrow night

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 01:33 AM) Just wait until they sign Johnny Cueto this offseason. Yes, Cueto would be wise to sign with an NL team because he's garbage in the AL

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) The Packers have the luxury of playing in what may be the worst division in football. But they barely beat a Bears team that may only win 4-6 games this year. Its early, but I really expected the Packers to look a lot better last week (even without Nelson). Impressed yet?

White sox are 1-8 in sharks starts since July 30th. If they had gone 5-4 they'd be 3 games back of the wild card with a win tonight. That's the margin of error in today's baseball. If shark had actually Pitched like a true number 2 or 3 like they thought they were getting the white sox might actually be leading the wild card 2nd spot

They looked fine outside of their run defense, which is their biggest issue right now and has been for some time. They were missing 3 starters on defense (4 if you count barrington going out in the 1st quarter) so I would expect the run defense to improve once they get those guys back (2 are back this week, barrington is out for the year). However, they do need some of the young guys to step up at LB if they expect to contain a run game like Seattle's. No NFL road games are gimmes, just ask Seattle. Main reason why this week's game in Lambeau is the biggest regular season game of the year for GB even though it's only week 2.
