    Jerome Walton?
    Felix Pie?

    And lets not forget the Milton Bradley era!

    hahahahaha

    That's what I love about what Theo is doing. We are so deep that we don't need to hang all of our hopes on a Corey Patterson or Felix Pie.

    I still can't believe that we are in the NLCS.

    Was at the game Monday and the Wrigley crowd was amazing. People hanging on every pitch, on their feet for every 2 strike count, giving each other high fives after each HR. The place is going to be nuts next week.

    Kind of nice for both the players and us fans, to have a few days off.

    I hope the Mets/Dodgers go 18 innings tonight!

    So my lovely bride went and surprised me with Blackhawks tickets for Saturday. Cubbies 4 games away from the World Series, and I am going to miss game 1.

    Its all good. Ill just watch it on MLB. when I get home. I don't watch all that many of the games to begin with. With my job and working nights, I follow most games on the radio. But yeah, I am sure I will be spending those 20 minute intermissions glued to my phone.

    The Hawks were showing the WC game on the concourse TV's during opening night against NYR, and score updates on the jumbotron between periods. Maybe they'll do the same for CS Game 1.

    Yeah,i am not going to worry. I love seeing the Hawks live, and will be paying attention to the game. I really have no problem just watching Game 1 the following morning. Hell, win or lose, I can get by on just watching the highlights. To be honest, I still HAVE NOT watched game 3 of the Cubs/Cardinals, when the Cubs blasted those 6 home runs.

    This blows..feel bad for the kid. Baez is solid but Russell has made some huge plays in the field this year.

    He'll have a full week off; good move as you probably don't want him rested much longer than that. Arrieta can go game 2, then hopefully Hendricks can stifle Greinke or deGrom in game 3.
    Russell out really stings!

    Arrieta would have been short rest, no?

    Wouldn't today have been his day to pitch?

    Or am I wrong?

    Not 100% sure. For some reason I thought it would have been 3 days rest, but I could be wrong. If so, i obviously agree he should have been starting

    Arrieta last pitched on Monday. Right?
    Gives him 4 days rest.

    Correct, normal rest for Jake. No idea why you don't throw Jake on normal reat. Should this go 7 Jake pitches twice and lester prob 3 times, gm 7 on 3 days rest.
