    Well that fucking sucked. This ones not on Lester. Score some fn runs. Yes Cuzzi was consistantly inconsistent with the zone all night. With pitches 3 inches inside or outside being called strikes all night why not take a hack at them? You have to make adjustments. Lastly for fucks sake never ever pitch strop vs stl ever again.

    So, today is the BIGGEST game the Cubs have played in quite some time.
    Gotta split these 1st 2 in St. Louis.

    What do you think? If we win today, then of course Arietta goes in game 3.
    Do you pitch Lester in game 4, on short rest?
    Biggest game of Hendricks career. See how it plays out, but if we get to a gm 4 and are facing elimination Hammel is not who i want on the mound with the season on the line.

    Loved it. Cubs have always been my 3rd fav bb team. Raised a Red Sox fan, turned mega Phil's fan as a young girl of 10. I believe it was the lure of Wrigley Field, since Fenway was my first live mlb experience at age 7. Finally made it to Wrigley this year. Maybe that's a sign. Go Cubs!!!!

    Bryant has really struggled the last 2 weeks or so. I believe he had 99 RBI on like Sept 20th, hasn't had 1 since.

    Good to see the team didn't just step back and rely on Arrieta tonight. He wasn't as sharp but the offense and bullpen were there for him. Huge team win!

    Buddy who has season tix called and text me around 6 this morning. His buddy bailed on him seeing if i wanted to go. I was still sleeping. He posted them on stubhub just in case i couldnt go. I woke up at 630 and his tickets had already sold. FML! Maybe for the best. Saw 2 hammel outings at wrigley this yr and they weren't pretty.

    Exactly why I didn't go to the WC game. I'm only 3-7 seeing the Cubbies at PNC.

    Fuckin Hammel. Aside from Arrieta, we need to get rid of all these ex-Oriole bums. Hammel, Hunter, Strop - they all suck!!

    Tenclub lets gets some cool Pearljam/Cubs merchandise. A cool Jersey and stickers would be a great start! I am sure Ed would back this idea. :smile:

    congratulations to the long suffering cubs fans. i am really happy for you guys. you all deserved to win this series. hope you guys get through and win the big one. may the force be with you.

    i knew we were going to lose this morning when i heard they were throwing lackey on short rest. for some reason, it seemed like it was a decision made out of desperation. and a desperate manager and his moves tells everyone the state that the clubhouse is in.
