Will the Cubs win? No, but it could go either way.

    My 16 month old refused to take her Cubs dress odd for bed tonight. She cried “nooooo… go cubs go…” and pointed to the Cubs logo on her dress

    Not going to argue with her. And my 3 yr old son stole my Cubs hat to bed (dying laughing)

    Did schwarber say “you can suck my dick” and point to his crotch after that rbi single? Is it just me that heard that?

    Ever since that post season start at Wrigley against the Cards I’ve been nervous watching Jay Carrieta pitch.

    Good Jake can turn into bad Jake real fast.

    Perkins,

    It’s fucking hilarious how a guy who only had 4 AB (?) all year is the biggest story on a team that hasn’t been to the WS since 1945 (dying laughing)

    Serious question: do you risk playing Schwarber in LF in Chicago? Can Rizzo play LF to allow Schwarber to shift to 1B?

    Perkins,

    Whether you can play Schwarb in the field or not, you don’t play two guys in positions they’ve never played before in the WS.

    As for KS in LF, he could take it easy out there just the same as he is on the bases. It could be costlier though.

    They’re going to have to put out extra netting for game three, the applause for Schwarber’s intro is going to bring the house down

    Perkins:
    Holy shit, Skip Bayless’s show goes 2 and a half hours? Why would anyone want to watch that once, let alone daily?

    Based on the ratings, the viewing public agrees

    Smokestack Lightning,

    Yeah, Jake’s line looks pretty good, but I didn’t think he threw the ball all that well. Great job by Montgomery. That’s looking like quite the pickup. The offense was really good, but they couldn’t score all that many runs despite having about 38 baserunners.

    Rizzo the Rat:
    If Schwarber is the World Series MVP, that would be swell.

    I don’t know. That would require the Cubs win the World Series. My identity is too invested in this team not being anything like the NY Yankees.

    Dodgers in 5.

    This was a game I did not recently enjoy watching. The previous game was also a game I did not recently enjoy watching.

    I did not watch the game today. I saw every damn frustrating pitch from Game 1.
