QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) Not with this bullpen, they could wear basketball jersey Speedo pajamas on their next flight and these guys would still suck. That Justin Wilson trade was an epic fail, Avila came in handy during the Contreras injury, but the division was theirs anyway and Wilson got taken off the roster. They would have been better off trading for Anthony Swarzak lol.

Nothing going right for the Cubs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:33 PM) I'm still so un impressed by the bottom half of their lineup, they are probably good vs splits, but it does not look like a 104 win lineup, even with Seager. It's cause guys like Barnes aren't big names. He was extremely productive this year. Plus lineups in the NL are usually pretty bad towards the backend.

Dodgers are hitting like crap with RISP.

Wind held that ball in. I thought that was gone by 20 feet.

Good lord the Cubs are playing like crap.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) It seemed like a stupid decision to bat Darvish there, but Roberts may be vindicated as long as he doesn't get rocked in this inning. Edwards was just throwing too hard, but can't blame Maddon too much, that's still his 2nd best reliever. Darvish is awful the 4th time through the order. He's probably done after 6 anyhow.

lmao Carl Edwards really can't throw a strike to Yu Darvish?

I don't know how Puig doesn't go there. You have the pitcher coming up. You have to take a chance there.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 16, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Wow. Yankees sure love home cooking. 1-4 on the road. Undefeated at home in the playoffs.

A couple of interesting facts: 1. The last walk-off home run by the Dodgers in the post-season was Kirk Gibson's famous walk-off home run in 1988 on this date (October 15th) 2. Duensing preceded Ubaldo Jiminez taking the loss in last year's AL WC game after Showalter refused to use Zach Britton. Duensing also preceded John Lackey in a similar situation today.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 10:08 PM) The Dodgers are not the Nats. I can’t repeat this enough. They're also short of their best position player.

QUOTE (aryzner @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Just about every Justin Turner AB this series has been really impressive. Man, what a tough out he is. And to think he was a utility guy just a few years ago.

lol Maddon. Why are you saving Wade Davis? I thought Maddon was beyond that kind of management, but I guess not.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) I know you are playing for one run here, but I still can’t stand giving away outs Not liking what Roberts did at all. Better hope they get that run in this inning, cause they took Jansen out for a third string catcher to pinch hit.

Can we all agree that Puig is entertaining as hell? https://streamable.com/bk3hq Dude just looked at the first pitch like "come at me bro". Second pitch almost hits him and then he hits the next one out.

What is it with people calling the call at home plate an "athletic play"? Darling said it. Maddon said it in the postgame interview. The guys on the postgame show are saying it. Are people really that surprised Kyle Schwarber can charge a ball and make a good throw or something?

Dodgers bullpen looked very good. Their bullpen last year had good numbers, but was nowhere near as talented. Morrow's got his velocity back and is absolutely dominant.

lmao @ Puig saying he hit a home run before in the postseason.

No Seager really hurts the Dodgers.

Incredible ABs by Frazier and Gardner.

Bears defense played their ass off.

KC defense continues to help/screw fantasy owners. Whoever had Watson/Hopkins at the end of that game got a lot of free and meaningless points.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) Ok, who on here won/lost because of that garbage time KC TD just now? Was down 7.98 before the fumble. Won by .02.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Can someone pass on to Jennifer Lawrence that trying to sound dumber than Rush Limbaugh shouldn't be a thing? Blaming the hurricanes on climate change and saying Irma isn't a big deal are two very different things. Especially when Irma will level the entire state of Florida.
