    155 mil over 6 years and he can't win a playoff game..nothing drives me more crazy than an 0-2 pitch right down the middle with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position..Bryant needs to turn that double play though right before granderson's at bat.

    So what was up with Maddon starting Lester in game 1?
    Was he looking ahead to the World Series? To get Arrieta 3 starts? Was he just being cute? I don't get it! And with starting Lester in games 1-4-7, Now we are stuck with his personal catcher, David Ross, who couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag, right? Im not going to lose my mind here, not yet anyway, but I just don't get it.

    But lets hope Arrieta shuts them down tonight, we come back to Chicago 1-1, and then we kick some ass.

    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    IF it goes 7 and Lester is pitching they have to start Montero, no other way around it.

    Not sure..I was actually ok with it going in thinking Lester being a lefty would possibly shut down the hot hitting lefty Murphy..man was I wrong! But yea lets hope arrieta can get it done and be all square coming back home.

    Lester started game 1 because, if not, he then goes game 2 on 9 days rest. Way too long in limbo. Lester won't start games 4 & 7, he'll get game 5. Maddon said he was going with a 4-man rotation, so expect to see Hendricks & Hammel in 3 & 4. Although being down 0-2, he might mix it up.

    Well, lets hope the Cubs quit complaining about the weather, take off those damn hoodies, and actually start playing some baseball.
