    I'll agree with that.  Murphy has had our number.  Don't underestimate the Dusty Baker factor here, though.  He's bound to blow at least one game due to just being stubborn.  The Nats don't exactly have a real scary bullpen, and the prospects of playing against a less than 100% Bryce Harper shift the series in our favor, I believe.  Whatever happens, its been a pretty fun year of baseball on the north side.  I could really get used to making the playoffs every year.

    The nats have a very scary pen. It's not Andrew Miller, but they have 3 closers for the 7th, 8th, and 9th.

    I know. I was being sarcastic because our bullpen blows. Hope they show up this postseason.

    Rondon not on the NLDS roster.  I think I'd rather him be there than Justin Wilson...

    So happy to see Hendricks get the Game 1 start!  Go Cubs go!!

    ^ I'd have to agree with the way Wilson has pitched. 

    In any event, it's game time! Let the show begin...go Cubs!
