QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) The media makes it sound like he's done, but I'm not sure. He had "discomfort" in his bullpen session. It seems like he's had "discomfort" since the day he was drafted. It's always something with him.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) New Trier beat Maine South last night. Very happy about that. It's Maine South's first conference loss since October 2000, when New Trier beat them 17-7. I went to the game, only one I went to at Maine South. BOOOOOOO!!!! That is a crazy streak. First loss since I was a senior, and I'm old as balls.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) How different the series would have been if they had gone after Chapman. . Had they gone after Chapman, this series may have been against the Dodgers or Mets, instead of the Giants.

If you ever wondered why the Giants were a WC team and not a division winner, now you know. That bullpen was s*** all year, especially in the 9th inning. It kept them from passing the Dodgers and now it prematurely ended their season. Bochy does look silly right now, but there's not much you can do when you really don't trust anybody in your bullpen.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Theo looks concerned Why was he sitting in the middle of the crowd of Giants fans? That seemed weird.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Rizzo will be his last guy After he hits a 3 run homer

Pull Moore NOW

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) Belt killing them this series. Hasn't hit a lick and has had many opportunities with runners on. He keeps swinging fir the fences forgetting that he's not in home run hitting parks.

John Lackey's facial expressions are the worst. He has always bugged me.

Does Baez have a MLB logo tattooed on the back of his neck? Either way, I've been enjoying watching him play way too much.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Kershaw should have never started 7th I was certain he would pull them there. He was due to hit 2nd and was looking tired. Then the bullpen musical chairs was a nightmare. The past two games have had some painful bullpen management.

Just read that the game time wasn't confirmed until the Giants Cubs game ended about 14 hours earlier. That probably doesn't help attendance or the players. TV money always wins out.

LA sports fans have never been the most devoted bunch. Add in a 54,000 seat capacity, a team that keeps losing early in the playoffs and two straight 1: 00 weekday starts, it's not the most surprising thing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) I use bovada so they don't report anything, I wouldn't pay taxes on it anyway because I already paid taxes on my $50 to $100 I initially invested. Not that anyone will ever know, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't work that way. My experience is you pay taxes on ALL income. Unless you already lost $30,000 this year.

I agree with Rowand. Now if they had a stronger full rested candidate to start game 5, I might feel differently.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) does the alcs and ncls alternate from fox to tbs annually? Yup. According to Wiki, it looks like they are both signed through 2021.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) I dont know, I think many of them have stepped up. Schmaltz and Motte are going to be very good IMO. It would be nice if they could find someone to step up and play with Toews on the top line.

Kershaw starting on short rest today with the season the line instead of Julio Urias.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) I was thinking last night when I went to bed how tough that had to be on Cub fans. That game ended 1:45 a.m. I think. Let's say you live in suburbia and have to be at work at 8 downtown and take the train. You get up at 5:45 to do everything you need to do to catch a train right? That's a whopping 4 hours sleep and they lost. Lotta people in bad moods today? A lot of them are Blackhawks fans, so they have experience with playoff games lasting past midnight.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) I think they are young but talented in their depth. There are replacements there but they have to grow up I feel like we have been hearing that for a while now, yet very few guys have actually stepped up. Or when they do the Hawks are forced to trade them for cap reasons.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) No surprise at all that the Giants grinded out a win last night. I expect a more comfortable Giant win tonight. Game five against Lester at Wrigley trying to get your third in a row from the Cubs? That's a tough one. I think the Giants have a better chance to win game 5 than game 4. I don't trust Moore, he can be inefficient at times, which is easy to exploit with a patient offense like the Cubs.

So I was in bed before 9 last night, but did Conor Gillaspie really hit a triple off Chapman? Unbelievable, especially with both of their LH splits. Was he spotted near Daniel Murphy's doctor last week?

This game makes Yankees-Red Sox look like a sprint. Soooo slow.
