Win expectancy graph for game 4, a/k/a the Giants death spiral.
Any chatter if Hendricks is on track for game 2 or do we see Jake after Lester in this series?
Haven't heard anything official but I'll be stunned if Hendricks doesn't go in Game 2.

Happy for the cubbies but I'm not gonna lie, heading to Chicago tomorrow morning and was getting excited to spend the day at wrigleyville for game 5.
I wanted no part of Cueto/Bum in a game 5...especially after Game 1.
I agree. That game would have been tough. As great as Lester been, the cubs bats were struggling.diehard03 said:Quote:

What is the better matchup for Cubs? Dodgers or Nationals
I think the Dodgers would probably be a better match-up pitching wise but I'm honestly not sure it even matters at this point. I don't want to sound too cocky, but with the way we won that Giants series I can't imagine either team beating us 4 times in the NLCS.
I agree but I would like a less stressful event if possible. Game 4 almost did me in.Junkhead said:

it was so bad that I felt like I was cursed if I watch the game. Everytime I had it on, the Giants scored, if I changed it, they didn't score.

mmm...no Scherzer until Game 3 and Bryce Harper not being Bryce Harper?

But Daniel Murphy
cubs were 5-2 vs nationals. No Ws by Lester or Arriata. Sweep at home (4-0) and 1-2 on road.
May at home and June on road
Dodgers 4-3
3-1 at home and 1-2 on road.
May at home and Aug on road.

**** ESPN for showing the Bartman documentary again tonight. Let it die, *******s. Cubs fans got over it a long time ago.

Cubs' 1st five NLCS games to start at 7:08 p.m.
They expect it to go more than 5?
They expect it to go more than 4?
Bring on the Dodgers.
trying to think what the upside of this would be..... allows him to come back in game 5 on 3 days rest??Junkhead said:
This idea is...stupid.
Either way I like the Cubs chances against him.
Buster Olney reported that Kershaw is expected to now start games 2, 4, 6 and 7 and will be the closer in all other games.

Rob Z on, LaStella off the roster for the NLCS.
Anyone in DFW want to meet up to watch tonight's game? I'm meeting some friends at 54th Street in Irving. It's on 635 a bit west of MacArthur in front of the Best Buy.
BEAT LA
Stupid send by the 3rd base coach. I called it as soon as I saw him waving him around.
Stole home
Only Javy
Dexter Fowler is the greatest centerfielder of all time
He doesn't suck.
I wanna see a rizzOMG Sheffield blast, just get it in the jet stream
Ugh, Rizzo.
Rizzo and Russell HAVE to start hitting soon.
Is there any reason Baez and Russell shouldn't flip in the lineup? I get you stick with what works but Russell is an automatic out at this point.
This game. So slow.
Not following Maddon on pulling Lester now?
