ROFL Seeing the anointed champions choking warms my heart. :D

I am enjoying the cub suffering.

NL is a joke, everyone knows that and has forever.


Obv Cleve still has to close it out and *could* lose 3 straight, but barring that, is there any doubt they're the best team in MLB this year? If they win tonite that's 11-2 in the postseason. That's freaking domination. And the Red Sox/Jays/Cubs were the best caliber teams they could've possibly played.

Don't think they are the best team. But they have the best manager who knows how to get wins out of what he's given. Meanwhile, Maddon refuses to play any kind of small ball with an offense thats struggling to string 3 or even 2 hits together and wont change the lineup outside of moving 1 hitter swinging at sliders 2 feet off the plate from the 6th spot to the 8th spot, which was occupied by another hitter doing the same shit. He's literally sleepwalking through this entire series.

I won't say they're the best team. One of the 5 best. Making the playoffs in MLB guarantees you made the playoffs. Everything else is up in the air. How guys are used and strategies are used in the playoffs is quite different from how teams play day to day in the regular season to the point where it has a significant impact on the makeup and strength of teams.

That doesn't happen in basketball or football to the point where it has the ability to make such a significant difference in how tough it is to beat a team to advance.

It's a must win game for the Cubs tonight............

I gotta admit, you do know your baseball.

Well maybe not?

Isn't their motto, "There's always next year?"

There is no excuses for the Cubs poor play, they have been the most stacked team in MLB ALL YEAR. No major injuries (except for Schwarber, minor hit) They lead in almost every category. Pitching, Defense, Hitting, Bullpen. Speed. Its just they have been labeled by the unfortunate name of Cubs, and are feeling the heat of finally ending the curse. Bonerfied Choke Artists.

C'mon Cle

Frank Thomas seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't bring much to the set outside of generic observations. A few views as a hitter once in a while.

What would be the addition to Cubs lore if they lost? No real moment that could be pointed to as a curse moment. I guess just losing with such a stacked team would be the story.

Great renditions of the anthem in all 3 games in CHI and 1 in CLE. The duo in CLE was terrible. Was that the game CLE lost? If so this is a good sign for them.

Big lineup changes tonight...

I'm still confident the Cubs can get this to game 7 but Maddon sure does love to give his team an uphill battle. Hopefully Lester goes 3 for 4 so Bryant and Rizzo have something to drive in.

Arod is good
