Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

Cy Jake!! Magic number down to 3, possibly 2 pending SF game. Didnt think Jake should have gone out for 9th with over 100 pitches and a 4 run lead.

one of your fanboys got banned. I think kat is a cards fan.

HesCalledDyer

Not like he got banned for being a Cubs fan.

How about Jake fucking Arrieta!!! Give that man a Cy Young. Fuck Greinke.

Hope they can lock it up today but excited to be headed to tomorrows game. Been a long time since ive been to a game this important. Not a better atmosphere in sports than Wrigley late in the yr when the Cubs are contending.

Once again, Lester pitches a gem and gets no run support. Go A's!

Conflict of interest for me. Do i play with fire and hope SF wins tonight so i could potentially see a clincher tomorrow? Been lucky enough to see Zs nono and the last playoff game they won at Wrigley (game 2 of 03 nlcs) never saw a playoff clincher though.

I actually excited to see how this pitching staff will gel. Lester will win at least 15. I'm hoping to get 12-15 wins out of arrieta. 10 out of hammel and Hendricks?

Heres a bet.

Ill bet you a dozen donuts and a cup of coffee.





I say Lester does not win 12 games.

For whatever reason, injury, the fact the Cubs suck, baseball season is cancelled due to frogs falling from the sky, etc.

How did I know in February that Lester was not going to win 12 games?

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Well, I fucked up that quote!

Hahahaha

Perhaps if you had predicted him to be a 20-game winner, he would've won 20. Way to jinx his season, Speedy!

3 games at Wrigley for me this yr and 3 ls, 2 of them we got shutout. Ugh. Hoping pit wins the div or ideally pit and stl tie and have to have a one game playoff for div.

HesCalledDyer

It's my fault. I bought a new Cubs hat after Arrieta's 20th and we've only plated 3 runs since.

#DyerHatCurse

Cards just pissed away another one. Really hoping pit and stl tie and have to have a one game playoff to decide div and both burn an ace.

Cubs need to take care of business tonight. Help the Cardinals. Hehehehe!!

Yea he's a horse..arrieta vs cole should be a good one. I think we can get to cole.

MLB leading 13 walkoff wins. I don't know if that's a good stat or bad... A win is a win, but they get into those situations too frequently. Hendricks looked real good last night! Keep it up, kid!!

Think he deserves the #3 spot if we get past wc game.

Absolutely. I trust him more than I do Hammel, and definitely more than Haren.

I agree. I would rather have 5 solid innings from Hendricks and then a couple from Travis Wood than see Hammel or Haren on the mound.

HesCalledDyer

Haren looked pretty damn good last night! Maybe he'll get back into his postseason dominant form just in time.

At this point i like him as the 4th starter over Hammel.

Gave Cincy a BEATING!

We could end up with 97 wins and finish 3rd. Crazy!!

What a turn around for Castro.
I am thrilled to see this kid turn his act around in September.
He hit over .400 in September.
Looks like he will be starting at 2nd, in that 1 game playoff.
And he deserves to start.

HesCalledDyer

Indeed. That little benching they gave him seemed to spark a fire under his ass! Triple H (Hendricks, Hammel, Haren) has looked good this past week, too.

pureoc

FUCK CINCY. Hold a, lead you pathetic assholes.
