October 18, 20178 yr Cub fans. Was Happ and La Stella all that you had hoped for? Blow cubs blow, blow cubs blow, hey Chicago what do you say, the cubs they f***ing lost today! Hang those L's boys!!!
October 18, 20178 yr QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:42 PM) Cubs ran into the Dodger buzzsaw. They are going to win the series. So will you with a few more bucks in your pocket.

October 18, 20178 yr My prediction still could come true but down 3-0 you have to wonder how the brilliant Cub brass, the miracle workers who know the game better than anybody else, would allow this meltdown to happen. Cubs had a chance to win two WS in a row. Will they wake up before it's too late?

Yeah man, the ALCS was way too unpredictable with the way the Yanks had been playing. I wouldn't have bet on that series. It kinda feels like the Yanks have the magic the cubs had last year.

October 18, 20178 yr i will say this the cubs need to fix there bulpen next year and need to try to get rid of kyle and jason and get batter hiting you can run the same hitting and expect to win espially when teams have figured you team hitting out Edited October 18, 20178 yr by gosoxtim8
October 18, 20178 yr What a different vibe this year. I live near Wrigley and the buzz of last year has been gone for months -- it's been so much more subdued than last year, even when things were going well for the Cubs. Even these threads, full of Cubs haters, seem dead with the Cubs on the brink of elimination. I obviously knew the first WS win in 108 years would be a once-in-a-lifetime level of hype, but I didn't expect this much of a drop-off. It's like a fever broke for everyone when they won it. There was a school of thought last year that Sox fans should want the Cubs to finally win it already to kill the hype machine, and become "just another team." I despised that logic at the time. But maybe there was some truth to it, because this year has been so much more bearable.

October 18, 20178 yr 2 games ago, Cubs fans on TV were saying all they have to do is win game 2 in LA and they can clinch in Chicago. I hope they get swept so much. I do know that Maddon will be considered a genius if somehow they come back. Although they made it an additional round, they do remind me of the 2005 Red Sox. If you comeback from a 3-0 or 3-1 deficit in a series, even media keeps mentioning it if they are down like that again almost saying they have them just where they want them.

I needed a board member to interpret one of their posts for me last week. No joke. Edited October 18, 20178 yr by BlackSox13

October 18, 20178 yr Alex Wood needs to bring it tonight, 6 shutout innings, Arrieta gets battered around for 3 innings and gets pulled in his last start as a Cub. Dodgers sweep the Scrubbies and celebrate in Wrigley Field.

October 18, 20178 yr Maddon's decision to not use Davis in game 2 looks even worse now. Game 3 was basically a blowout.
October 18, 20178 yr https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/cubs-br...en-a-long-year/ Kris Bryant admits Cubs are ‘tired.’ Sadly, the whole world can tell Yep, the cubs are pooped! I think den mother Maddon forgot to put the cubbies down for their nappies.
