Not that I want it to get that far, but the Jays would destroy the Cubs in the World Series. They'd out-hit them like crazy and I made don't think Arrieta would fare well against them either.

You just made me feel better. Haha

I'm defending you here. You clearly admire and respect the Cubs as an organization. I'm not saying you're a fan of them.

Sorry, I just hate having to constantly defend myself from people who feel it's not okay to admire the Cubs if you're a White Sox fan.

Guys there's an ignore list for a reason. Putting certain posters there has already vastly improved my SoxTalk experience.

I don't know how to use the ignore list and I frankly don't think it's necessary.

 

Sure, people have differing opinions, but that's part of the fun of this website IMO.

Pirates might as well get revenge for Kang. Who should they go at?

This must really suck for the Pirates. 2 years in a row they get the first WC spot and 2 years in a row they run into an absolute machine starting the game. Last year it was Bumgarner. This year it's Arrieta.

Nah man, that's ok.

 

But it's also ok to hate them.

Well making two pretty critical mistakes didnt help

Was going to ask if that would happen, but I doubt it

Hell, I'd go for Arrieta at this point. I'm not a supporter of playing dirty, but the only way they stand a chance in this game is if they knock him out.

I would say Coghlan but that's probably why Maddon sat him.

That Schwarber home run and resulting screams made me yearn for playoff baseball I care about

Next year. 3 year plan...Robin returning...good times

Cole really has nothing tonight. What a shame.

Here's something we can all agree on. Pitchers batting is just stupid.

Fowler's the reason they're up 4-0. Got on base, stole one, rattled Cole quite a bit.

Well Pirates likely weren't going to score anyways

I wouldnt be holding up that crappy beer infront of the camera

Here's something we can all agree on. Pitchers batting is just stupid.

Agreed.

 

My friends who are fans of NL teams love it though. I have no idea why. It's basically a free out- 11% of an NL lineup is pointless. And then they gloat about how NL pitchers always have lower ERAs than AL pitchers...

Herrera's helmet is the lamest thing I have ever seen

Fowler OWNS Cole

Cole just shat himself tonight. That's terrible...

Agreed.

We are so much alike that it is crazy. My friends are exactly the same way. We might have been separated at birth.

Always good to come out for a 1 game playoff and choke.

Agreed.

Mine, too. They're just wrong.

 

"You lose the strategy of the double switch!"

 

It's the double switch for crying out loud. It's not the 3-4 defense or the Pistol. It's a stupid, unimportant "strategy" that shouldn't be necessary.

Pirates need to manufacture something maybe consider laying down a bunt. Flailing away is not working
