I think the Cubs are a better matchup for the Cards than the Pirates (specifically the bullpen), but I don't want the Cubs to ever win anything. On the other hand a Cubs defeat by the Cards would be great. High risk/high reward there

With the Pirates, I like them a lot and wouldn't feel bad at all if they beat the Cards. I think they're harder to beat, mostly because their bullpen is really good.

Considering the way the Cubs have played out of their minds in the second half against the Cards and would have swept twice if not for bullpen fuckups, I'm really hoping they get a crack at the Cardinals.

Bullpen was pretty damn solid over the past few weeks, but eh, whatever happens, happens.

If the Mets tire of Harvey's act, they can always trade him to baseball purgatory aka Denver and take Arenado. No way in hell Arenado stays with this garbage organization.

Too bad Dodgers really don't have any tradable players(Meaning Dodgers could trade someone and not effect the lineup) for Arenado to come back home.

Is it me or did the Mets and Jays steal the spotlight from the Cubs from the deadline to the end of the season? Cubs 45-18 over that stretch, Jays 43-18, Mets 38-24.

I don't think it was the Jays and Mets so much as the Cards and Pirates. As much as they played ridiculous baseball over the last couple months, the fact they couldn't get out of that 2nd wild card (at any point?) hurt the hype machine somewhat.

I think Jays-GAF and Mets-GAF being much more active than Cubs-GAF is skewing your perception a little bit.

Probably the best answer. GAF spilling over into sports coverage.

Mostly because the Cubs traded for Haren and Hunter at the deadline instead of Cespesdes or Price.

Just saw the comments that Mike Bell made about Jessica Mendoza. Really disappointed in Bell. Dude has always had a reputation for being a bit immature at times, but he was way off the mark.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

This reminds me of the stupid Miami Heat fan thing. Hilarious.

For the love of Sammy Khalifa, Pittsburgh, go Bucs!

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Go Pirates.
Go Cubs.

I guess?
Tho Michael Morse and Travis Ishikawa are both on the Pirates, and the Cubs plunked our Pence and Aoki so....

 

[Line_HTX]

I don't know who to cheer for.

I want somebody to shut out the Cardinals.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Cubs and Pirates. Whomever promises to beat the Mest and Satan have my support

 

[lastflowers]

I love this shit. People's ingenuity for finding patterns and applying them goofily is great.

Baseball Tonight on ESPN 2, Curt Schilling is still an analyst...

Best way is to subcribe to sling.tv. Pay 20 bucks for a month and be able to stream all NL games (on tbs). No contract, cancel after the month.

(Assuming you dont have a cable package)

 

[dork]

Too nervous to watch pregame, game needs to start

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Kang getting wheeled out

Yeah that's neat. Still feel bad for him, handled the whole situation like a class act too.

Niconico kills the eyes. Their best quality is still mobile quality on Twitch.

 

[MultiJhonny]

lol there is a Barman impersonator at the game

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Which team pirates or cubs -- would they Jays have a better chance of beating should they meet in the World Series?

That is the team I will be rooting for in this wild card game.

 

[GK86]

Let's go Cubs!! Beat those Pirates.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Should be the Cubs theme

Let's go eventual loser to the cards!

 

[Line_HTX]

Cardinals

Oh, lol.

I agree with that, even though Fat Albert went to the Angels.

 

[Rock And Roll]

See y'all on the other side.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Everyone's hyping this up to be a pitcher's duel where a single error might be the difference

Bet it's a blowout on both sides

 

[harSon]

Seeing Kang wheelchaired out really sucked
