Keep using the slider.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Chapman terrifies me in one run games.

 

[Dany]

Cmon cmonnnnn

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Posey goes yard off Chapman

EYBS is too strong to go down that easy

Well I was close

 

[chicagocubsfan]

A Double, but almost.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Nobody is surprised.

Holy fuck, you were an inch from being right.

 

[Frozenprince]

Frigging Posey

 

[RBH]

Oh shit, that was so close

 

[Afrikan]

That damn wind!

 

[reggieandTFE]

Chapman doesn't look great. :/

 

[boxter432]

Nice rip. Felt like a line drive homer off the bat. Pence fuckery time?

Taking a fastball down the heart doesn't help. Goodbye.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Throw him a fucking slider

 

[brianjones]

chapman is getting every call

but it's hard to tell with these fucked up camera angles

 

[Frozenprince]

101 and 102 on the black down and up.

God.

Damn.

 

[Dany]

i can't breathe

 

[Mortemis]

Fucking posey.

Cmon you pos chapman, end it.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

WwW

 

[baxter2231]

If the unp doesnt blow that call, tie game

 

[Dany]

YES

 

[J2 Cool]

Baez you little killer

chapman is getting every call

but it's hard to tell with these fucked up camera angles

Seriously they better fix them. Fucked up

 

[Thoraxes]

YESSS

 

[Frozenprince]

Yay Bill's happy.

 

[bebop242]

Whew! Great game!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

DONE!

 

[Choomp]

Every one of these games with 2 exceptions have been phenomenal. Keep being awesome playoff baseball

 

[Raw64life]

All the teams I wanted to win won today (although I really couldn't care less about the TOR/TEX series). I guess that's consolation enough.

 

[Afrikan]

Chapman doesn't look great. :/

I like how we got hits of Lester... wish it was a 7 game series. :/

 

[reggieandTFE]

Home plate ump was terrible to both sides, with giving Cueto a bigger plate early until Ross complained.

Bad call on the check swing was huge.

 

[Corran Horn]

I guess I should be glad our pitching is great....but our hitting is shit.

 

[bebop242]

Not as big as Posey's running gaffe.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Poop.
Oh well...on to game 2.

 

[J2 Cool]

3 hits and a win. Ill take that. Hendricks/Samardzija tmrw. See if we can't get our offense going

 

[bebop242]

Looks like I gotta hit the bar for tomorrow's game, stupid having games in the same series being on different channels

Legit thought Pete Rose was Bill Belicheck.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I'm simultaneously happy and very, very scared that we haven't seen our bullpen yet,

 

[KidA Seven]

What a beautiful avatar

 

[Choomp]

Man David Ross <3

Mlb network? So no fs1, no tbs? Mlb playoffs tv scheduling is so weird. Its like they want to lose viewers

 

[not psycho]

Baserunning was miserable (although Buster is incredibly slow and could have been out anyway), but that check swing call hurts. Could have scored on the double... obviously things would have gone differently, but Chapman also didn't look great today.

Hopefully this goes 5, Cueto and Lester rematch in a winner take all would be amazing.

They know they'll have to pitch a lot better to save themselves. That's...uh...not the greatest thing in the world to have right now.

 

[17 Seconds]

I wonder what Steve Bartman is up to right now. Did he ever go back to a game in person after that?

let it go. the only people who have ever cared about bartman are non-cubs fans.

 

[17 Seconds]

man, posey crushed that ball in the 9th. without the wind, that's halfway up the bleachers. javy's ball would have been onto waveland.

 

[CrispyBoar]

If you're talking about either the Texas Rangers or the Boston Red Sox, then definitely. Neither of those teams can afford to lose anymore.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I thought Posey had tied it right there. With no wind, it's definitely a tie game.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Apart from the Cubs fans who sent him death threats.........and the Cubs fans who invited him to a playoff game last year to make up for those death threats........... and the Cubs fans who get their photos taken at his seat on stadium tours of Wrigley ..........and the all the Cubs fans who distilled the baseball into a pasta sauce. .

most of that is nonsense, but of course there are a select few awful fans, just like every sports team that ever existed. those people represent a microscopic portion of the cubs fanbase. you might as well make fun of silver arrows for the guy who threw the beer on the field the other day.

 

[Peru]

lol @ me watching this stuff on VOD. Doable in regular season, hopeless challenge now.

I guarantee you that drunk Blue Jays douchebag won't appear on the Simpsons or be offered six-figures for a Super Bowl ad. In fact, he'll be forgotten by the end of this series.

Bartman is part of Cubs folklore, whether you like it or not.

i don't understand the simpsons reference. are you thinking of the joke they made on family guy? that and the super bowl thing is kind of proving my point. he's a part of cubs folklore because non-cubs fans can't stop bringing it up constantly. if people want to keep talking about him, then that's on them. people should just stop pretending like he was ever hated by the cubs fanbase.
