They're going to have 2-3 days off at least, so you might as well.

 

Gotta have your closer on the mound in the series clinching game.

 

World Series doesn't start until Tuesday so they will have 5 days off if they clinch tonight.

Assuming this holds up, Sox fans should make it a point to NOT gloat. That's what Cubs fans want and expect. Say nothing. It will bother them more.

Familia gets the 9th

 

You think even Collins will do that with a 5 run lead and up 3-0 in the series?

Absolutely, and he better be pounding the zone from the first pitch. No nibbling, no wasting offspeed pitches down. Your team has a 5 run lead, dont be cute trying to have the Cubs players swing out of the zone. Especially with how walks demoralize a team. Have them hit their way on

Yup, I haven't posted anything about the Cubs on social media. If my team sucks, I really have no room to talk s***. But at least it keeps the annoying Cubs fans quiet.

Yes

So, can anyone think of new excuses from the cub fans and media that have not been mentioned yet?

 

Schwarber- accidentally wore his jockey's backwards

Bryant- wore his girlfriends panties, by mistake of course

Soler- tried to reverse the curse by purposely wearing Bartman's headphones

Hammel- wore a pre-game bra on his head because it worked in some movie he'd seen

Lester- the chemicals in the hair treatments from his hair club for men membership f***ed with his brain

Rizzo- its because Frank is his brother

LA Stella- kept hearing Elaine Benes' voice saying " Stella " over and over

 

Have I missed any?

 

The World Series doesn't start until next Tuesday, right?

 

No matter what happens with Games 6 and possible 7 in KC...so that's basically a full week of rest for the Mets.

 

And time for everyone to freeze to death playing early November games in NYC.

Lucas Duda with 3 XBH.

Duda strikes again.

Is Cuddyer only playing 1B in a platoon now?

I've been jumping up and down gloating all game to my family, but aside from that I wouldn't act the same in public.

 

Oh and on this forum I'll post my happiness. We're miserable as Sox fans, may as well have their fans join us too for a little while

No mention of either Maddon or metaphysical magic/spells/incantations.

 

 

Duda was 3-for-24 in the #Postseason . He has 3 hits tonight, all of which are XBH. #Mets

 

 

Now, for the next five months....we can debate how the fact that Maddon didn't lead the Cubs to the World Series somehow proves he wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever in the White Sox clubhouse.

 

Murphy and Mets' pitching talent >>> Maddon

 

ETC.

I hope no one goes that route (gloating), although some undoubtedly will. You shouldn't gloat because it would be an ass thing to do, not because it would be a passive aggressive way of rubbing salt in the wound.

Was hoping you would have something clever for Maddon, although I like the magic spells, incantations bit. Well done.

 

Cub fans tonight: " dude a, where's my car?"

Jesse Rogers@ESPNChiCubs

 

3 outs from 108. Unless a miracle here.

 

 

 

Poor guy.

Yyyyes! That Rizzo!

Yyyyes! That Rizzo!

 

An oldie, but a goodie. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

La Stella's 0-10 in the playoffs.

STELLA!

Haha that line was awesome. "This series had nothing to do with Billy goats, back to the future or anything like that. It was one team out playing the other in every facet of the game."
