    No way, man. That was so much of a rocket that Fowler bobbled it.

    I'll laugh if the Dogers walk-in the go-ahead run.

    HAHA>Not a walk, but a cement mixer that Montero crushed for a GS. On an 0-2 pitch at that.

    UN fucking REAL!! What a swing by Montero. And then the back to back.

    Was a little upset we didn't throw AGon an off speed pitch on that equalizer through the middle, but alls well that ends well. Javy, once again, even when he screwed up, he hustled and stole home. Great win!

    What a game! I have never heard Wrigley as loud as when Montero hit that ball.
    Some great defense by Fowler.
    Rizzo and Russell need to start hitting.

    The cubs are playing some of the best defense I've ever seen them play. If rizzo starts hitting along with the rest of them, nobody can beat them!

    Rizzo & Addi need to find their bats! Didn't like the decision to pull Lester early & it bit them in the ass. Miggy saves the day!

    Bullpen nearly melted again. Offense once again saved you guys. Can the offense continue to bail out the pen in these next games?

    At some point, the offense always has to bail you out. It's the only way to score runs.

    That being said, yes. The cubs had the most comeback wins when trailing after 8 than any team in baseball.

    Wow what a game! That GS will go down in history. Talk about a wild last 2 games!! Glad to get the W. Didn't like Lester being pulled so early. Also no more 4, 5 or 6 out saves for Chapman. It's not what he does. He should only pitch in the 9th.

    I'm ok with a 2-inning save for Chapman, just gotta put him out there to start the inning instead of waiting til runners are in scoring position. Gotta let him get control of the inning, not try to clean up someone else's mess. That's not a closer's role.
