OSS: Cyle pitches a gem and Bryzzo get just enough off of Strasburg to put the Cubs up 1-0 on the Nats. Three up: Kyle Hendricks showed why Joe had enough faith in him to make him the game one starter, pitching seven shutout innings with six strikeouts, two walks, and three hits allowed. The only vaguely threatening moment that …
NLCS: Mets @ Cubs Game 3
It's time for some of that famous Cubs magic. Oh, nevermind. I guess they'll just have to win the old fashioned way. Lineups Mets Curtis Granderson, RF David Wright, 3B Whatever Murphy, 2B Yoenis Cespedes, CF Lucas Duda, 1B Travis d'Arnaud, C Michael Conforto, LF Wilmer Flores, SS Jacob deGrom, P Cubs Dexter Fowler, CF Kyle Schwarber, LF Kris Bryant, …
NLCS: Cubs and Mets Series Preview Part 1
I thought I’d break this into at least 2 parts. The first part will focus on the pitching, particularly the Mets pitching. We’re all familiar enough with the Cubs pitching. In short, the Mets starting pitching is good. The first game is going to be started by Matt Harvey, but he’s their 3rd starter. And Matt Harvey is good at …
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4 part 3
Let's finish these bitches off.
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4 part 2
Comments filling up and getting slow in the other thread. Will be addressing the slowing down during peak times soon.
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4
Here we go. Time to clinch this and get it done. I'll take 6 more home runs today and I think that will be good for a win. Addison Russell injured his hamstring last night on a triple and was removed immediately. It didn't look awful, but you never know with those things. He's not in the lineup and Javier …
NLDS:Cardinals @ Cubs Game 3 part 2
Cubs up 7-4 heading to the bottom of the 7th.
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 3
The Cubs are back at Wrigley Field in the postseason for the first team since 2008. They've got Jake Arrieta on the mound who has been nearly unhittable for 3 months or so. Their lineup looks pretty good and they're facing a pitcher they hit well in September. Things look good for them to go up 2-1 in this series, …
NLDS: Cubs @ Cardinals Game 2
Last night's game kind of sucked so let's try it again. The Cubs had the advantage in last night's match-up in my opinion, but that's not so tonight. Lineups Cubs Dexter Fowler, CF Jorge Soler, RF Kris Bryant, 3B Anthony Rizzo, 1B Starlin Castro, 2B Austin Jackson, LF Miguel Montero, C Kyle Hendricks, P Addison Russell, SS Cardinals Matt Carpenter, 3B …
NLDS: Cubs @ Cardinals Game 1
Berselius wrote a preview earlier today for this series that you all should read. Two former teammates get the start tonight and while John Lackey has enjoyed some success with the Cardinals, I'm still not all that impressed by him. The Cubs send Jon Lester to the mound. Lester's ERA and win/loss record weren't what a lot of people hoped …
