    Mother fuck! I am getting too old for this shit! That would have been a great game to watch if I were not such a fan of the Cubs. Like, if that was NY vs. HO, that would have been terrific to watch. As it is, is a couple tums and a shot of Jack. Not necessarily in that order.

    Uh, yeah.  This is a rough morning at work.  What a game though.  It really had a bit of everything in it.  Just a wild game.  

    Who starts game 1 tomorrow?  Lackey?  I fear the Dodgers will play HR Derby with him in that park.  He may be all we have to go to for a start, though.

    I’d say that’s probably a good bet and most likely why they didn’t use him out of the pen last night.

    Early articles are saying Quintana gets the start.  I would not mind starting Lackey especially if we can get him to go 6+ innings.  He has actually been decent in the second half and his intensity might be a nice boost for a team that is probably exhausted.  Then we can start Quintana on Sunday to get Lester and Jake another day of rest.

    I think Lester demands (in a good way) the ball for Sunday's game. I could see Quintana starting game 1 (with a very short leash) with Lackey coming out of the pen after the 4th or so.

    Corey Seager was left off the Dodgers 25 man roster for the NLCS. Definitely works in the Cubs favor.

    rooting for either of these teams is like hoping trump is impeached so that pence can take over.

    We can agree on the political portion of this post. Being from Indiana, I thought we were winning big when we got rid of that scumbag.

    Let me first say, I love the Cubs.  Have my entire life.  That said, I have never seen a worse bullpen.  They aren't winning shit with this group of jokers.

    And yet they’re all the same guys we had last year, minus Wood. Truly puzzling.

    ^^ It sure is puzzling.  A true mystery.

    Except for the one that doesn't suck (Miller). 

    bbiggs,  I think we all said it when Q allowed the 2nd walk.

    Basically we need to get 7 innings from our starter each night, Strop in the 8th, and Davis to close it out to even have a chance at a win.  Our totally inept offense sure as hell won’t fucking help the pitchers out. Batting .172 in the postseason.

    I would have rather seen us pull a high school pitcher out of the stands than to have activated Rondon.  Why on Earth is that guy on the roster?  He might be worse than Marmol

    Dodgers fans gotta be getting jacked: Edwards warming up with the game tied and a man on.
