I didn't even watch the game. I knew I couldn't handle it. I even turned the notifications off on my phone after the 5th inning. Just wanted to smoke a bowl, fall asleep watching Netflix, and hope I woke up to a damn miracle.
THEN... for whatever reason, I decided to check my phone as I was laying on the couch. I shit you not, the exact moment I checked is when Zobrist doubled in the 9th. Two runners in scoring position, down 2, no one out. Ok, you got my attention Cubbies. I couldn't stop refreshing my Yahoo app fast enough after that!!

Alright, since you admitted it.........I fell asleep on the couch in the 7th inning. woke up sometime around 1am to the glorious highlights and celebration. Monday night kicked my ass.......and yes I missed the Bartman shit too. I was outside smoking a cig. so what does this mean? should I quit watching the rest of the postseason?????????

Monday afternoon I got a pack of peanut M&M's for a midday snack. Would you believe it; there wasn't a god damn blue M&M in the entire pack and 2/3's of the fucking things were orange! Needless to say, I stayed the fuck away from M&M's yesterday!

Dude, someone bought me Cubs M&Ms for my birthday back in 2010. I kept those things until 2012 thinking that if I ate them then I would curse the team. those bastards tasted good.......... #fuckthecurse!!!

Sat and Sunday will be 7 or 730 starts. Al gm sat will be mid afternoon Tues or Wed may be mid afternoon but only 1 would be. (Al/nl will flip, 1 day al 3 nl 7, other day nl 3 al 7) Thur 7pm Sat 3pm if alcs goes 7, 7pm if alcs done Sun 7pm
This is how past seasons have gone. However last yr every cubs mets nlcs gm was primetime and on dsys the al and nl played the alcs was mid afternoon. Guessing chi ny media markets vs tor kc factored in. Clev tor isn't big either so who knows. Chi wsh might not get all primetime but i could see chi la.

Dodgers are weak...especially on the road. No WAY do the Cubs lose a best of 7 vs the Dodgerswith homefield advantage. The Nats, however...could be a tougher foe.
Funny you guys mention the M&M's... I had a pack of peanut butter M&M's during the game for each of the 3 wins this series. Guess I'll have to keep it up for the rest of the postseason. Also, no luck for me with NLCS tix. I'm only planning on being in Chicago for Oct. 29th and 30th for games 4 and 5 of the WS if we make it so I guess the ticket situation is working in my favor so far.
And I kept checking in here last night to see if you went off on a rant Dyer, but now I know why you were quiet haha.
Just throwing this out there. If anyone ends up with an extra code or doesn't think they'll be able to use it...please let me know! Long-shot...obviously.

Wasn't much you could do in those years to curse the team any more than they already were! Those Quade/Sveum years were rough.
Looking back in my emails I have not received an email from the Cubs since September 28th. Usually get at least one a day.....anyone confirm emails since then?
The only emails I have received were to tell me that I'm a big fat stupid loser who will not be given a chance to purchase tickets. One today then one around September 28th or so.

Not sure i would call the Dodgers weak, but i agree on the Nats. Imagine how tough they would be if they had a healthy Strasburg?
Cubs record vs Dodgers: 4-3 (3-1 home, 1-2 road) Travis Wood with 2 wins. 2 losses by the bullpen. Cubs record vs Nationals: 5-2 (4-0 home, 1-2 road) One of those losses we had the lead in both the 9th & 12th innings and the bullpen failed us.
