    On the topic of pitching rotations, you are correct. Stats only show what has happened and are not necessarily a predictor of what will happen. But all I've heard so far is how afraid the Cubs should be of the Giants staff. "This is the worst case scenario for the Cubs. The Cubs don't want to face the Giants staff. Look out Cubs. The Cubs are in for certain doom. The Cubs were hoping for the Mets." Etc, etc. Not a damn word being said about the Cubs staff. Like we're not getting any credit. Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester were NL Pitchers of the Month for August & September, respectively. I'm not implying a series prediction, just making an observation. I'm pretty damn confident in our guys and there's absolutely no reason anyone shouldn't be!

    Get your Tums and warm blankets out Chicago. It's an even year and the Giants are in the playoffs.

    Giants had to sweep LA to get to the Wild Card?
    Then beat the Mets in a 1 game elimination...

    Yeah Cub fans, this could get interesting.

    And by the way, the Giants have not lost an elimination game in how many years?
    I am pretty sure I heard 9-0 in elimination games since 2010? I think that is the stat I heard.

    Cubs haven't played meaningful baseball in awhile and that's important both in baseball and more time than not in hockey

    And which Jake Arietta is going to show up in game 3, on the road, against Bumgarner?
    Lights out Jake? Or 5 inning Jake?

    Lester loses game 1?
    They might as well start fitting me for a straightjacket.
    Hahahahaha

    is this the same guy who compared these cubs to the '29 Yankees :lol:

    I think the reason the cubs' rotation isn't being talked about is because the cubs were looking at an "either or" situation. the winner of the WC game was getting the cubs, period. your rotation is good....even if you don't have a mythical dude like Bum :wink:

    I'm sure the cubs fans know the KWAY-To chant....I'm thinking Johnny can handle it now.

    Bochy has won 11 straight series, to tie Joe Torre's record. for my money, Bochy is way better than Torre because he's not fielding an entire team of all-stars.

    Remember when he said he wanted ace money and that aces get 7 yr deals? Well here is your "big boy" game to prove it. Perform and if not the Cubs, someone will back up the truck for you after your deals up next yr. Pitch poorly and I never wanna hear about an "ace" deal again.

    Thay being said, unless we leave Chi up 2 0, I'm gonna be damn nervous.

    so Cubs fans, more excited or more nervous at this point? my advice as a Phillies fan is enjoy every fucking moment though because it's awesome when your team is in the playoffs and has a legitimate chance.

    i say Cubs in 4 this series.
