    Best of 5 now. Cubs have homefield.

    Chip Caray...is it just me or does that cat look a little rough nowadays?

    its basically by script.

    Without Salazar and Carrasco... and with Bauer off his game with his drone-cleaning accident, the Cubs have a large advantage in the starting pitching match-ups. Kluber evens it out. Im saying that to be nice, but I would argue has an advantage over anybody at this point... He was rocky on his only other career 3-day-rest start in the ALCS. If he starts game 5 and 7, that would be two consecutive 3-day-rest starts which is asking a lot.

    It has been the worry since before the series started, and last night confirmed it. Basically I have to hope that Kluber is lights out in 3 starts in 8 days (the 'easy' one already done)... AND for them to steal a game started by Tomlin or Bauer vs Hendricks or Arrieta.

    Where's all the jake bashers now?? Dude is a horse and will get the contract he deserves. Lights out on the biggest stage.

    Schwarber is basically Pete rose with power..best hitter ever!! ;)

    Anyone else see a pattern here?

    I know that he claims to be a "Chicago fan" but I don't recall him being at Wrigley when the Cubs were losing 100 games.

    I understand your point im just over the whole cubs sox fan thing. People can support who they want when they want. Cusak has every right to support both teams.

    In my situation I just decided to not go to games since they had terrible product on the field basically every year since 03...smart cub fan doesn't make me fair weather.

    I had to boycott until they got rid of Hendry and then I just haven't had a chance to get back since.
    got to see some really bad teams in past though. :lol:

    Jake and company accomplished their mission. Now, can Cleveland win in Chicago? They will need to.

    Wow. That was a huge win last night. The legend of Schwarbino is getting big and is about to probably get even bigger. Cubs win the series in Sunday.

    What's up with John Cusack?! Seriously? Better Off Dead? Say Anything?

    As sweet as it would be, I don't think it's going to happen in Chicago. The Indians haven't lost 3 straight all season. I sure hope the Cubs can change that all...but it'll be tough.

    Schwarber starts in LF on Friday....book it!
