porcupinetheater
10.06.16 | fuck every team that isn't the Cubs |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | lol the Giants are gonna spank the Cubs sorry porc |
porcupinetheater
10.06.16 | Yo Dude, if the Giants beat the Mets tonight, I propose a wager. Loser has to write a review for an album of the winner's choosing |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | deal.
that was safe!!! wtf!!!!! |
TVC15
10.06.16 | That umpire made such a shit call, Pence should've walked |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | wtf that wasn't a foul ball. pretty fucking clear! |
TVC15
10.06.16 | I'm talking about the top of the 4th inning unless you're actually not watching the wild card game atm. Still torn on whether Span was safe or not in stealing 2nd base but it clearly would've been a game changer had he been called safe |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | typo lol yeah he should have walked. 3 error calls now all against the Giants >:0 |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | Span was safe at 2nd
Pence should have walked.
Fuck the Mets. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | if the Giants lose simply because of bad officiating I will never be the same |
TVC15
10.06.16 | Shit yeah Span really was safe at second https://twitter.com/alexpavlovic/status/783834918598172672
Fuck the Mets [100] |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | how did he just let that one drop in Pagan |
TVC15
10.06.16 | More than anything, Giants wouldn't even be in the wild card if the closers in the regular season weren't complete shit. A total of just about 21 blown saves, 9 of them by Casilla
And quite frankly Tomlinson would have been a WAY better choice than Gillaspie in this wild card line up |
Frippertronics
10.06.16 | Indians/Cubs WS would be the best outcome t b h |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | finally a hit |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | "More than anything, Giants wouldn't even be in the wild card if the closers in the regular season weren't complete shit. A total of just about 21 blown saves, 9 of them by Casilla And quite frankly Tomlinson would have been a WAY better choice than Gillaspie in this wild card line up"
All irrelevant though now |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | 4 awful calls against the Giants now |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | The Giants cannot use their pen. They got to keep Bum in as long as he can. |
TVC15
10.06.16 | Man how insane that would have been if Bum's at bat in the 3rd inning went far enough to be a homerun instead of a fly out |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | @baron That's not even an issue lol Bumgarner can go for awhile |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | he was doing fine, 21 pitches through 3 but he hasn't been as efficient since |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | that's not even close to an issue yet. maybe in the 8th I'll start considering it |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | Thor has pitched better tonight, I won't doubt that, but I feel like he'll be the first one to crack. |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | I actually like him, probably my favorite Met but as a Yankee fan I still can't justify rooting for him that much. |
TVC15
10.06.16 | Bum has allowed more hits but he's still pitched less than Thor. He also walks more batters than Bum anyway, not to mention the 7-0 post season record that Bum has with that 0.6 ERA. If anything it'll be the umpires' fault for the Giants losing |
MyNameIsPencil
10.06.16 | It's these types of games that make me hate having anxiety fuck
and need to check 11 now thxxx |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | he's starting to lose control right now, let's hope he cracks |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | FUCK YEAH |
TVC15
10.06.16 | I have the utmost respect for Panik but it really wasn't the best decision for him to play in this game either, he's been out of it since he came back from injury and he's had a miserable time in all his 3 at bats
But Giants are still in the best case scenario, no way Thor can make it past the next inning |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | goddamnit I wanna see some runs |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | FUCK NOOOO |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | As long as the game is scoreless the Giants have this in the bag. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | Posey is a boss no matter what. Bumgarner is a boss and I don't think he's tired yet. |
Titan
10.06.16 | ^not your sharpest comment (2 above) |
TVC15
10.06.16 | Posey is definitely still a fantastic catcher but his offensive game hasn't been the same since the back injury |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | 86 pitches for Bum still, that's nice |
porcupinetheater
10.06.16 | Yeah, this is a powerhouse pitchers' duel for sure |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | "^not your sharpest comment (2 above)"
lol. when it comes to scoreless games going into the 9th or going past the 9th I think the Giants have the best record in important games. That's a big assumption but over the last six years I've seen it happen over and over and over |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | Syn is out I guess so now it's time for the Giants to win |
TVC15
10.06.16 | Oh for sure and we got Romo back as a closer in case of worst case scenario so Giants will no doubt work in that win |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | As long as Casilla doesn't pitch at all tonight I'll be happy. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | had a good feeling that Gillaspie was going to get a hit in
oh shit here we go |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | Posey can do this |
Storm In A Teacup
10.06.16 | I knew posey would make it to bat |
Storm In A Teacup

10.06.16 | it's okay no worries. we're going to the 9th inning in a scoreless game with the Giants. |
NordicMindset
10.06.16 | Eric Campbell and Ty Kelly will definitely provide the offensive spark the Mets need.

Titan
10.06.16 | Toronto has the best overall pitching staff out of the AL playoff teams....with that, Toronto is one of the worst teams offensively that is still in the playoffs
They can go to the dance, but I can see almost any NL representative winning the World Series this year, especially SF or Chi |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | chi vs bos if i had to bet, would take chi over boston but flip a coin honestly, the sox are good |
claygurnz
10.06.16 | If Toronto's bats come alive...watch out |
wham49
10.06.16 | your excited about (6th) in runs against. almost 4 runs a game, not true Titan, I know your and AL guy. they will not consistently score 4 runs a game, maybe get through the AL, but will get crushed by any of the NL teams in it right now |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | top 6 numb nuts
dont watch baseball confirmed |
wham49
10.06.16 | Toronto is 1 in the AL in pitching but 6th in MLB, The top 5 are all the remaining NL teams,
So, they are the 6th ranked pitching staff in the playoffs, and for the season.
all this leads to them not winning the series, sorry AL east lovers, It will be Cleveland in the series, I would like ot say my Cubs inthe series, but it will be at least thee winner of SF and Chi |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | "ot say my Cubs inthe series, but it will be at least thee"

guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | you're* |
Titan
10.06.16 | wham bro you aren't taking the league that they play in in to consideration. put toronto in the NL and you might as well shave a quarter to a half a run off of that team era. that would put them top 3 or so. |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | don't state the obvious dude i'm having too much fun here ;] |
boolin
10.06.16 | are thw twins in it |
Titan
10.06.16 | yes, they play the royals tonight at 8:00 |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | cant bet against st louis |
kris.
10.06.16 | why u gotta make royals jokes :(
considering theyre out im either rooting for the rangers or dodgers. maybe red sox, depends on how far they get
fuck the giants forever
fuck the blue jays forever |
MyNameIsPencil
10.06.16 | Honestly after a good hour of match-up comparisons, Cubs will win in 6 very close games. I really have no ill feelings about the Giants (even year bullshit withstanding)
But in the end I think it'll come down to who wants it more and who'll play like it
And a team who wants and have the ability to break a century long curse vs a team who's won 3 WS's in 6 years but used up Bumgarner (their ace pitcher) to get there |
Thibs
10.06.16 | eras in the NL are impacted by approx. 1/9 batters being pitchers. the jays bullpen will be the only reason they don't go far. sure hope I'm wrong. using liriano out of the pen, being a lefty, will help. my bet is cubs taking the WS against the sox |
guitarded_chuck
10.06.16 | their bullpen looked good last night
liriano is on fire right now
i dont think this team is as good as last year but the stars could align, hopefully jose gets some confidence from that HR yesterday, i simply can't see anyone beating sanchez or happ right now, need guys like JD to step up and put up some numbers |
Thibs
10.06.16 | can't disagree. stars aligning is a statement that goes for all champs tbh. jays bats were so cold in Sep but given what they are capable of and law of avgs, could be a good thing |
wham49
10.06.16 | again titan and chuck, we will see who plays who in the series, I give Toronto a 25% even money chance of getting there, you give the AL way too much credit, the DH yes does raise the stats, I'm not an idiot, but that does not mean that Toronto is really any good, they'll blow it, they didn't win the division with that great pitching, so you will see that stats are just that, they don't mean anything in a short series, when you have to win, they will get cocky just like last year and somebody who is hot will roll through them, because an actual good team will hold them to 1-2 runs a game and they will give up 4 because they will make mental mistakes when it matters |
kris.
10.06.16 | i hope jose gets the shit beat out of him again tbh |
claygurnz
10.06.16 | Let's go Jays |
Spec
10.06.16 | Jose is gonna get pissed off and crank it out of the park. |
calmrose
10.06.16 | Cubs vs. Giants is going to be a great series
c'mon Cubbies, if Lester and Hendricks continue their hot streaks and Arrieta bounces back to his usual dominant self and remains consistent, Cubs will be hard to beat
in any case, pumped for the postseason |
kris.
10.06.16 | what was the deal with arrieta this year? i know he started out strong but what happened |
calmrose
10.06.16 | I mean, he was pretty solid all year, had a pretty underwhelming stretch to close out the season, but it was going to be really difficult for him to perform how he did during the second half of last year, which was just insane |

10.07.16 | Lol porc. Do you have your album picked out |
Spec
10.07.16 | ironic that a team called the indians would have its ballpark called progressive |
Storm In A Teacup
10.07.16 | Yeah we made a lot of of progress against Indians in America |

10.07.16 | jays bats finally woke up (against good pitchers too)
they have better pitching depth than they did last year, especially starters |

10.08.16 | in their last 8 games the Giants and Cubs are 4-4 against each other |

ShadowRemains
10.08.16 | i hate watching the giants |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | sacrilegious expealadocious |
ShadowRemains
10.08.16 | it's borderline deadball era baseball |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | yeah in an era outside of deadball when teams should be able to score more on the Giants makes them more entertaining and a defensive juggernaut no? |
Sevengill
10.08.16 | Cueto is a cool fuckin cat but I really don't like the Giants. I used to, back when they had like Rich Aurelia and Benito Santiago. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | Santiago is a legend |
ShadowRemains
10.08.16 | people like offence, duh
they were fun to watch when bonds was on the team |
L4titudes
10.08.16 | It's Tribe time 2016 |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | I'd rather watch a defensive juggernaut vs an offensive juggernaut than see a shootout. In Baseball or Basketball. I'd rather watch two defensive juggernauts in the NBA. In MLB though two defensive juggernauts facing off would be the most boring definitely. |
kris.
10.08.16 | cueeeeetooooooo
wish we had the yanks payroll and were able to keep him after last year even tho he was garbage most of the time |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | I can only see payroll being the reason you don't keep a guy who helped you win a world series but still |
calmrose
10.08.16 | BAEZ!!! 3-2 count too
What a pitching duel between Cueto and Lester, both stellar, Cueto just one bad pitch out of about a 100 or so |
calmrose
10.08.16 | Ain't over though |

Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | honestly though if the Cubs win I'll be rooting for them all the way despite feeling crushed. we'll see |
TVC15
10.08.16 | Absolutely devastated right now |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | it's just 1 game, it's not as bad for the Giants as it would be for the Cubs if they had lost |
Sevengill
10.08.16 | at least you got a good pitching performance out of somebody |
TVC15
10.08.16 | Wasn't even able to watch either games except for the first 3 inning of the Dodgers/Nationals game due to being in the cast of my high school play |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | doesn't matter when we lose. I already know the Giants won't be shaken going from game to game. Cueto did a great job though regardless but it's irrelevant |
Titan
10.08.16 | winner of this series rolls the rest of the way |

10.08.16 | Haha good luck porc. I'm giants through and through but my dad is from Chicago and lived in San Francisco and he raised me to be Giants ffan but he's all in for the Cubbies. This is definitely the world series taking place right now. |

wham49
10.08.16 | "My only complaint is that it's a 5 game series"
agree Titan, that is why I love NL baseball, not the low runs, but the strategy
I will Ruin Chucks day by callin a cubs vs. Jays series, I'm sure he will find something to make fun of me for, So I will do it first.
Chuck states "your such a F'ing idiot get off my internet, who do you think you are changing your mind, you must have known I was right, I rule, you all suck ass, the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUcking JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAys rule bitches" |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | don't count the Giants out from one game that was won by one run |
calmrose
10.08.16 | stoked for the game tonight, even though Samardzija wasn't that great this year, dude has the stuff to pitch a gem on any given night |
wham49
10.08.16 | def. not counting out the Giants, trust me, every Cubs fan I know gave a collective groan when we Heard the Cubs had to play them, however Cubs have a better pitcher tonight, and the Giants win streak has to come to and end at some point, Cubs could blow it just as easily as win it though |
Storm In A Teacup
10.08.16 | Giants fans groaned too for the same reason haha, but at least we know the two best teams get to actually face each other. |
teamster
10.08.16 | So lucky the Cubs will face Bumgarner only once ... |
porcupinetheater
10.09.16 | Fowler, getting this shit fucking going |
calmrose
10.09.16 | nooooooo Hendricks :(
hoping him coming out is just a cautionary move and he isn't hurt too bad |
calmrose
10.09.16 | Travis Wood!!! |
porcupinetheater
10.09.16 | Yeah, if Hendricks is out for real, the Cubs could be in some trouble
But holy fuck the pitchers helping themselves out at the plate, this is so much fun |
calmrose
10.09.16 | I think Hendricks will be okay going forward, just due to the chillier weather tonight his forearm was tightening up a bit, and with them leading, probably better not to risk anything |
Storm In A Teacup
10.09.16 | I haven't been commenting because I don't have the god damn mlb network and I'm pissed off about it |
porcupinetheater
10.09.16 | Gotta hit up a bar, watch it the good ol' fashioned way, Lagers and fried pickles and roaring everytime the ball clears the outfield wall |
Storm In A Teacup
10.09.16 | I don't think any bar would allow me to just sit there and watch for free |
Titan
10.09.16 | i'll count the Giants out when they have been eliminated....resilient team to say the least
and lol wham.....i'm looking forward to you and chuck's friendly banter |
wham49
10.09.16 | thanks
absolutely, only out after last out has been recorded |
Storm In A Teacup
10.09.16 | yeah we're down 0-2 in a 5 game series and I'm not even nervous yet, which should be weird, but considering everything I've seen the Giants do since early 2010 it isn't weird at all. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.09.16 | I'll probably start getting nervous if any of the next three games the Cubs get a 1 run lead AND have someone on base after the fact. |
calmrose
10.09.16 | game tomorrow is going to be absolutely nuts, Arrieta vs. Bumgarner |
porcupinetheater
10.09.16 | Man Storm this ain't the time for ya to be gettin' cocky, y'all haven't been this far in the hole against a team good as da Cubbies yet
But yeah, tomorrow could be rough if Arrieta doesn't turn around his September rut |
Storm In A Teacup
10.09.16 | I'm not entirely cocky. This is the same faith I've had since the regular season of 2010. The Cubbies are one of the biggest challenges we've faced during our dynasty run. Plus the Mad Bum is starting game 3... |
Titan
10.10.16 | 'game tomorrow is going to be absolutely nuts, Arrieta vs. Bumgarner'
fuck, a 9:30 start |
Storm In A Teacup
10.10.16 | I get off at 4 so cool! Think I would miss the first two hours of game 4 though. |
wham49
10.10.16 | I will miss all of game 4, so hopefully tonight the Cubs do something |

Still way early in the game though |

Still nervous though |
TVC15
10.11.16 | BELT ON BASE |
TVC15
10.11.16 | Are you fucking kidding me |
calmrose
10.11.16 | What a play! I know Belt wants to score but he has to make sure that ball drops in
Huge double play right there |
calmrose
10.11.16 | Disagree with the announcer who said Belt made right play, if he holds up to make sure it drops, you got 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, with Pence up
But I'm just a spectator |
TVC15
10.11.16 | It's a tied game with a winner take all situation, waiting for the ball to drop was a bad move (in my opnion anyway, they've gone through similar situations and succeeded all the way) |
calmrose
10.11.16 | He didn't wait for the ball to drop that's why he was doubled off
I mean, in hindsight him running was probably the "correct" thing to do because as you mentioned, tie game in an elimination game for the Giants, it's a tough call, but the right fielder did make an exceptional play, falls in Giants win |
Storm In A Teacup
10.11.16 | I am emotionally void of this game right now |
TVC15
10.11.16 | Oops yeah meant *not* waiting my bad, forgot that whole word in all my haste lol |
Storm In A Teacup
10.11.16 | the emotion is back in, giants can do this |

guitarded_chuck
10.11.16 | not too worried about cleveland but you never know, theyre definitely feeling like if they can sweep the sox they can definitely compete with the jays at least |
Titan
10.11.16 | if the Jays had 4 games at home, I'd say no contest..... |
guitarded_chuck
10.11.16 | yeah the bugs in cleveland could be a deciding factor XD |
Titan
10.11.16 | plagues exist |
claygurnz
10.11.16 | Yeah I think we would have had more trouble with Boston than the Indians. Still though everyone's a good team at this stage so the Jays better not take them lightly. |
TVC15
10.11.16 | I love how the saves so far have come from the least expected players |
wham49
10.11.16 | watch out for the Indians you guys, they are for real, my original pick for the WS
and by the way Cubs fans are always terrified, feels better with the 9th inning comeback though, they have a lot of fight |
TVC15
10.11.16 | Oh man no doubt the Indians are a force to be reckoned with, them sweeping the Red Sox is all around impressive |
Storm In A Teacup
10.11.16 | San Francisco Giants |
TVC15
10.12.16 | I love how the biggest offensive plays by the Giants in this post season have been by the most unlikely players. Was really worried cos Moore wasn't too good in the regular season but he's really proving himself again in this game |
Storm In A Teacup
10.12.16 | yeah and it just opens the door to more offense too when that happens, whether it's in the same game or games that follow |

10.23.16 | Kershaw looks like Tom Waits tbh |
porcupinetheater
10.23.16 | Not even remotely tbh |
Sevengill
10.23.16 | I've heard they have to win a world series game at Wrigley to break the curse, since it originated during the 45 series. but that'll happen in a few days anyway. |
calmrose
10.23.16 | this is going to be a fun World Series |
calmrose
10.23.16 | also there are various opinions/interpretations on what will break the "curse", either it's the Cubs making it to the World Series (which tonight they've done), the Cubs winning a World Series game (either at Wrigley or whatever opponent's venue), or the Cubs winning the World Series
Whatever it is, the whole curse thing is stupid |
NordicMindset
10.23.16 | the curse is 108 years |
MyNameIsPencil
10.23.16 | gotta love that momentum |
porcupinetheater
10.23.16 | Nope, "curse" started in 1945 when they wouldn't let the owner of the Billy Goat Tavern bring his goat into Wrigley and he got his panties in a bunch |
calmrose
10.23.16 | "the curse is 108 years"
no, it's as porcupinetheater said, the "curse" is the Curse of the Billy Goat and the years since the Cubs last won a World Series are brought up because it's been a long, long time (108 years this year) |
NordicMindset
10.23.16 | I get that but when most people say the curse they mean the 108 year drought |
kris.
10.23.16 | man i didn't think about the reaction from cubs fans if they came this far to lose
don't make me root for cleveland omg |
porcupinetheater
10.23.16 | Most people aren't Cubs fans and don't know what the fuck they're talking about
To be honest, there's going to be a shit ton of disappointment if we lose, but a good number of people are just happy we made it this far. This team's probably going to be potent for a fair bit either way |
NordicMindset
10.23.16 | I don't ever wanna see happy Cubs fan
the curse must live forveer |

NordicMindset
10.23.16 | Bartman is an unfair scapegoat, the cubs lost for other reasons |
elliootsmeuth
10.23.16 | I have no doubt that my uncle is in tears. He's been a hardcore Cubs fan his whole life. Chicago is officially fucked now, though. Regardless of if we win or lose, Chicago is going to go absolutely bonkers and there will be riots the likes of which mankind has rarely seen. Gonna be a blast to watch. Just hope it doesn't spread into the suburbs. |

porcupinetheater

I say we hedge our bets and bring back the Bull Moose Party.
And hey Storm, cool if the Cubs and Giants take joint custody of the World Series for the foreseeable future? |

10.23.16 | "cubs fans deserve nothing after what they did to him tbh"
yeah every time i enjoy watching the team, i remember back to that and it is sort of soured
such fucking twats |
porcupinetheater
10.23.16 | Coldest ever because Hell froze over? |
MyNameIsPencil
10.23.16 | to be fair I'm sure the same thing would have happened to bartman if he the same situation happened to any other team |
ShadowRemains
10.23.16 | moises alou was the main problem there
if he doesn't react that way, i'm almost certain there would be must less backlash
reality: he wasn't going to make that catch |
Spec
10.23.16 | if anything the "curse" happened to them because the fans acted like such cunts |
Spec
10.23.16 | also alou was missing the ball anyways if you watch the replay but it's defs easier to just bitch about it and blame the fans agreed |
porcupinetheater
10.23.16 | The issue isn't Alou, the ball was going into his glove, and any player that close, who'd been on a struggling team for as many years as he was in one of the biggest games of his life, is going to be visceral.
It was the fans being shit to Bartman in particular, when there where 4-5 people around him also reaching to grab the ball and didn't pull back, that just got lucky because their hands where 6 inches away instead of dead on the money.
Even so, it's a small subset of fans that where shitty to Bartman, which (like Pencil said) in the same scenario would be the case on any team, because some people are shitty.
I'm pulling extra for the Cubs because of the drought they've had, cause I've had relatives who were diehard for the Cubs their whole lives who died before they got to see anything like this happening. The sooner they win, the better. |
Spec
10.23.16 | nah alou was still going around saying he definitely had the ball in his glove |
Spec
10.23.16 | like in that situation just shut the fuck up so the dude doesn't get more hate than he already is |
Storm In A Teacup
10.23.16 | leave Bartman alone (43642452) the documentary is so fucking depressing |

10.23.16 | honestly if it was game 7 of the world series i would be upset but it was game 6 of the nlcs like what if they got shut out by the yankees? |

NordicMindset
10.24.16 | yeah the 2003 WS didn't end so well anyways
maybe if the Cubs made it that year it would have |
ShadowRemains
10.24.16 | "Even so, it's a small subset of fans that where shitty to Bartman"
nah it really wasn't, a large section of fans wanted him drawn and quartered and paraded around the town on a pike |
Snake.
10.24.16 | "it's a small subset of fans that where shitty to Bartman"
those crazy fucks called it "the bartman ball" and then blew it up, i don't think that would've been caused by a "small" set of fans dude |
ShadowRemains
10.24.16 | of course someone forgot to tell them this wasn't the 1500s |
wham49
10.24.16 | as a cardinal rule of baseball, if you are at a stadium and a ball is coming at you and you are a fan of the team that is on defense and a play may be able to be made, you get the hell back and take others that are trying to get the ball with you.
if you are a fan of the offensive team you go get the damn ball, like that kid did for the Yanks against Baltimore in 96 I think
Bartman did not lose the game for the Cubs, but he did a dumb assed thing, and had no clue that he did a dumb assed thing. that is why they were against him from the start. |
Artuma
10.24.16 | hmm, yeah i don't give a shit which team wins |

10.24.16 | great comment Art, biting |
Titan
10.24.16 | 'if you are a fan of the offensive team you go get the damn ball, like that kid did for the Yanks against Baltimore in 96 I think'
It was off of jeter's bat.....and Tony Tarrasco was the right fielder for the O's.....the play occurred MAYBE 15 feet away from me

guitarded_chuck
10.24.16 | I'm still super bummed about the Jays and the likelihood that the Jose/Edwin era is over but anyway sure lets talk baseball. Excited to get the World Series underway.
I'm not picking sides I'm just hoping for a long and exciting series. |
kris.
10.24.16 | the cubs are owned by basically ted cruz and their fans are kinda insufferable but the indians are divisional rivals and i want them to suffer until the MLB dies so fuck the indians go cubbies |
guitarded_chuck
10.24.16 | F U C K E V E R Y O N E O R D I E |
kris.
10.24.16 | didn't edwin say the jays were his #1 choice in free agency? he seems to love it in Toronto so he might take a deal with them to stay idk
you're better off not having Jose tho that dude is a fucking bum |
guitarded_chuck
10.24.16 | Yeah they were probably only ever going to sign one, my pick going into the season was Edwin but the casual fan / media were going with the bigger name in Jose, thankfully Jose's year indicates he's clearly aging but Eddy had another super year. So chances are Edwin gets re-signed, Jose walks. Regardless I mean Jose put in a ton of hard and great seasons here during good times and bad and it's too bad he won't be part of the probable runs the Jays keep going on over the next 2-3 years. |
kris.
10.24.16 | i don't see Jose taking any offer the Jays throw at him anyways. dude wants a huge deal to retire on that i don't think anyone's willing to offer him because he's so old. and he kinda sucks now. |
guitarded_chuck
10.24.16 | yeah i have no idea where he's going to end up, should be interesting to follow
maybe back with the pirates |
Thibs
10.25.16 | I say the angels. sure hope the jays throw something decent at edwin |
NordicMindset

also here we go again, they are so streaky, the cubs need to score early this series |
calmrose
10.26.16 | Andrew Miller is not human |
wham49
10.26.16 | Cubs are looking better than most against him, the 7th killed them, typical cubs bases loaded nobody and 3 straight k's |

Titan
10.26.16 | cleveland is possessed.....whambro i'd be very concerned if I were you |
wham49
10.26.16 | I'm always concerned, but we hit Miller better than most, and a catcher played out of his ass, other than that pretty level, we'll see
|
guitarded_chuck
10.26.16 | indians are just getting to work right now and don't have any doubt in their ability, it's pretty impressive |
Thibs
10.26.16 | cubs will need to get to the starters or it could be a short series. hard enough to get one off Cleveland's bullpen let alone 2 or 3 |
Titan
10.26.16 | we will see just how valuable Arrieta really is tonight |
wham49
10.26.16 | even if they lose tonight, Im not losing hope, If they catch fire they can roll anybody |
Titan
10.26.16 | i see a Cubs victory tonight |
wham49
10.26.16 | if they get it in, maybe, last night was a bad lineup, Ross and Coughlin should not be in the lineup, contreras needs as many AB's as you can get him, should have caught or played Left |
calmrose
10.26.16 | Ross was in the lineup because Lester pitched, but I agree that Coughlin shouldn't have been in there |
wham49
10.26.16 | why does Ross have to catch for Lester, he is such a headcase, what is he going to do next year, throw to somebody else, because he has to, why not now, these games are too important to run out the 3rd catcher on your roster |
calmrose
10.26.16 | Ross has been catching Lester all year and the two have developed a good repertoire with one another, he is Lester's catcher bottom line, absolutely no need to change that in the WS when Lester has been dominant since the second half and in the postseason (barring yesterday's off game), Ross catches and calls a good game, it's just his bat that is really weak |
wham49
10.27.16 | well the Cubs showed up, that is good
and the fact that you can not throw the ball to any catcher that the team needs to put behind the plate to help the team, is a huge headcase problem, hurts the team, and is bullshit. So is Lester retiring after this year, otherwise what is he going to do? |
NordicMindset
10.27.16 | The Indians starters might be exposed in this series if Bauer is the first to fall. Tomlin and Clevinger aren't that much better, but we'll see. |
wham49
10.27.16 | only one needs to win if Kluger gets 3 starts |
calmrose
10.27.16 | lol, how is that a headcase problem? Ross is a good catcher and like I said, he calls a good game for Lester and management obviously feels that them working together gives the Cubs the best chance to win, Contreras is definitely the better option now and will no doubt be starting the next two games
"So is Lester retiring after this year, otherwise what is he going to do?"
uh, work in Spring Training? work over the offseason? Lester has thrown to other catchers, but like I also said, he and Ross have an excellent repertoire that has worked this year for the Cubs, it's hardly bullshit |
TVC15
10.27.16 | 5th inning was cray. Only part of the game I watched tho. I'm not rooting for either of the two but if I would it'd be the Cubs. The first place my mom lived here in America was Chicago and she still has a Cubs hat |
wham49
10.27.16 | you really think Lester isnt a head case, and that Ross is a good catcher. HAve you watched the last 2 years. If Lester didnt only throw to Ross, he would of been out of the game during his Red Sox days.
how many other pitchers do you know who cannot throw to first base and not to home unless his good buddy, who hurts the Cubs chances to win, is behind the plate |
porcupinetheater
10.27.16 | "I'm not rooting for either of the two but if I would it'd be the Cubs."
I dunno, that kinda just sounds like you're rooting for the Cubs |
TVC15
10.27.16 | I'm mostly neutral but I'm slightly biased for the Cubs I guess would be a better way to put it I guess |
calmrose
10.27.16 | Lester has mental issues throwing to first that just haven't been worked on enough, and there are plenty of pitchers who prefer to throw to one guy over another, it's not that uncommon
Lester and Ross got the Cubs results and that is why the Cubs don't have a problem letting Ross catch Lester |
wham49
10.27.16 | agreed at least in the post season, whatever, he is gone in 5 games, have to see him kill us one more game probably |
calmrose
10.27.16 | he is hardly killing us |
porcupinetheater
10.27.16 | David Ross definitely wasn't the difference between a win and a loss last night, the whole train just couldn't deliver at the same time at any point.
Rizzo yelling fuck was the high point of the night |
wham49
10.27.16 | not the last 2 weeks, on average over the last 2 years he has been atrocious. Not sure what got into him this post season |
wham49
10.27.16 | can Joe Fuck say one more time that Arrietta is throwing a no hitter, every f'ing batter he mentioned it
hit came in middle of the comment |
calmrose
10.27.16 | Rizzo yelling fuck was the high point of the night [2]
and Ross is done after this WS, so he'll no longer piss you off
|
calmrose
10.27.16 | now for the bullpen, Arrieta pitched a great game though, had some control issues but was able to work around them |
porcupinetheater
10.27.16 | Arrieta's entire second half this year was control issues, he's just a good enough pitcher that it usually doesn't lead to him *totally* shitting the bed |
wham49
10.27.16 | was worried during the first but settled down, come on bullpen |
calmrose
10.27.16 | definitely, I think I remember hearing mentioned that opponents' batting averages against Arrieta were actually lower during the second half but his walk rate increased pretty drastically, when he's on though he's one of the best in the game |
calmrose
10.29.16 | nice, more clutch strikeouts for the Cubs
2-1 still isn't bad, especially with the next two games at home, but Kluber tomorrow is going to be a real challenge, especially if the Cubs continue to have horrid at-bats chasing garbage, hoping for a hot streak to start back up |
Storm In A Teacup
10.29.16 | yay!!! |

10.29.16 | oh, I thot they won |
calmrose
10.29.16 | lol nope, lost 1-0 |
MyNameIsPencil
10.29.16 | using up their bench like that mayyyyy have been more of an instant gratification call than the indians realize tbh
but kluber is up again but who knows
maybe he'll play like kershaw did in game 6 of the NLCS?

10.31.16 | the last time the nfl season saw 2 ties in the same season, the Cleveland Indians lost the World Series in 7 games |
AlexKzillion
10.31.16 | All this while the Browns have a very real chance of going 0-16 |
wham49
11.01.16 | great fact Titan bro, anything right now is useful
Arrietta and Hendricks, not out of realm of possibility, but a long shot
if the Cubs hit at all, they win, which is a big IF |
calmrose
11.01.16 | ^all of this pretty much, lots of big if's but tonight's game (and tomorrow if it happens) should be exciting
hopefully Schwarber's return to the lineup gives the Cubs an extra spark and I hope Bryant's home run from last game gives him a spark and he starts a hot streak tonight
and of course, Arrieta needs to be on tonight like his last start, then Hendricks, though I'm more nervous for Arrieta tonight |
wham49
11.01.16 | the lineup tonight has to score 4, if they do they will win,
fowler, schwerber, bryant, rizzo, zobrist, there has to be some runs right there |
Titan
11.01.16 | Cubs are winning the World Series |
Titan
11.01.16 | taking you for a ride whambro |
