QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Andrew Miller This Series: 17 batters faced 15 outs 13 strikeouts. So far this is by far the most dominant performance for a reliever in postseason history It's miller time.

everything is falling the indians way

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 06:18 AM) I think a lot of Trump voters have not been polled and are going to show up Nov 8, that is why I think it will be closer than most think. It's certainly possible for sure.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) no no, Boston doesnt need Sale because Porcello was good this season doh!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) The election is going to be a lot closer than some think, I see a large group of voters who have not voted in awhile voting. elaborate

What kind of loser would firebomb a political HQ?

If the Dodgers made a trade for Sale near the trade deadline. Wowzer

and is russel really suppose to be raking? The guy had a very pedestrian average in the regular season, why would he be on fire for the playoffs?

yep gotta get more ABs for Baez.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Some would disagree that it "offers nothing." A lot of smart people are religious and believe in God. People murder each other and fight each other about a lot of things. I disagree pretty much with your post. It's my opinion and that's your right to disagree of course. I do find it funny that you had to bring up "smart" people that are religious. I never said anything about someone's intelligence being correlated to their practicing of religion.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) Pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. However, Roe v. Wade declared abortion a legal right under the Constitution, and it's interesting that the "law and order" candidate is allegedly not interested in following that law. I guess we can pick and choose which laws we follow.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Dodgers relievers all have pretty good numbers for the most part. Regular season don't mean much anymore though which was very evident by Mr. Blanton turning into a pumpkin. blanton is pretty mediocre. how do you think the cubs would fair against andrew miller?

yep religion just ruins the world. It offers nothing yet people murder each other and fight each other over it all the time.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Chapman is still dominant and the Cubs bullpen is just as good as any of the remaining teams. Offense is good enough to bail the bullpen out as well. Cubs are going to be extremely difficult to knock out in a 7 game series. they really don't have any weaknesses. cubs offense has not ran into a competent bullpen yet

Guys this series is going back 1-1, why the f*** are you worried about the Dodgers?

Would you muppets just put each other on ignore FFS! I want to discuss baseball, not whose a cubs fan or not. At the end of the day, it just doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) This Cubs team is an absolute wrecking ball and has been all season. Don't think it is possible for anyone to defeat them in a 7 game series. The cubs have bullpen problems bro. Chapman has blown two f***ing saves already and to LH bats at that. Let that sink in for a second.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Fastball high was the correct pitch to throw there especially after 2 straight sliders yep, why throw an exact carbon copy pitch there.

lol at the dodgers handing this game to the cubs. chapman has blown two "saves" in the postseason so far, they should have got andrew miller.

Why is Lackey going tonight?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 11:26 PM) That Indians line up doesn't seem like it should be good at all. Ramirez, Lindor... hmm it's really their pitching though

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) I can't stand Pence, but I will give him credit for being intelligent and well read, even if I can't handle most of his positions. He's a politician for sure but any extreme right wing religious zealots need to be shut down early.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 01:33 PM) I don't really understand that sentiment. Aside from the usual "playoff baseball rarely goes how you expect", Fangraphs playoff odds has this series as a literal coinflip, and I have to agree. Yeah the Dodgers suck against LHP but Lester can only go twice. The Dodgers have the two best pitchers and they can go 4 times. The Cubs will have the pitching advantage in Games 1 and 5 but assuming Kershaw starts Game 2 the Dodgers will have the advantage in 2,3,6 & 7. Game 4 is basically a tossup because I think the Dodgers will hit around Lackey. LA has the better bullpen and the better offense when a LHP isn't on the mound. Before the playoffs began I thought LAD/CHC would be the optimal matchup out of all possible playoff combinations for a potential classic playoff series. Are you adding Rich Hill, master of breaking pitches to the best pitcher list?

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) I like that everyone is already celebrating a WS birth for the Cubs, It feels like last year's NLCS all over again. Is this your personal experience? Any fan should take things one step at a time before crowning the Cubs winner of the pennant. The Dodgers are not a bad ball club.

Pence is worst than Trump because he's a socially conservative psychopath. Trump is a dope but Pence, if he became president would be really f***ing scary.
