QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Warm up Matt Moore Said it before the series started that Moore was the logical choice to start game 2. Not sure what they were thinking here

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:42 PM) You? Clueless? Tell us more. You just love to troll don't you

Apparently I wasn't the only one that found Baez's home run stare down last night annoying https://www.sportingnews.com/amp/mlb/news/m...2?client=safari

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) Cubs game rocked. Love seeing the bitter sox fans here (it's quite sad actually). Should calm down and remember our sox fans during the 2005 run. It always seems like our players are the good ones, but standing back from a far, way to go Baez! Stare that s*** down! Still I kindaaaa want to see the Giants win it all just for the even year thing going on, but wouldn't mind the Cubs . Tonight is a critically important game. Cubs go up 2-0 and this series is all but over. Giants steal one here and the series momentum slightly swings to the Giants going home with Bumgarner. Unfortunately, the Giants have the Shark going. What an intense matchup, playoff baseball is great and I love being 0.2 miles away from Wrigley! You said that the Giants are no match for the Cubs and will be swept. This post doesn't sound nearly as confident as the prior post. Hedging?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) 20 hits in 5 games at Wrigley for the Giants I'm expecting that to change tomorrow, though Hendricks has been great at home this season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) To be fair a portion of those posts are people watching their first game ever tonight. Remember last year when Cubs fans say they rooted their whole life to make it to the NLCS This series is far from over. Obviously tomorrow is basically a must win for the Giants but Hendricks is due for a stinker and just have to hope Shark is sharp.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/SSS_pnoles/statu...601904299053056 Brutal call and literally cost them the game.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) Who cares? He's great. I would trade any three of our position players not named Eaton for him LOL. Great? That's funny.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) Ugh can't help but think Posey not running on that ball Zobrist dropped might have avoided a Cubs meltdown. lol I don't think Javier Baez knows what a curtain call is. Giants had their chances offensively but their baserunning blunders certainly cost them

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:49 PM) Yeah, but either way we are s*** not sure how that is relevant to this thread?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Because he is really good? did you see his stare down of his home run that barely made it out of the park?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:47 PM) I remember when our guys played good baseball. actually the Giants outplayed the Cubs tonight even if the final score didn't reflect it

Baez is very annoying

should be a tie game

sucks they don't allow challenges for check swings

changes the entire inning

brutal call

Going to be tough with Chapman and this is the reason Theo overpaid for him at the deadline but game not over yet

That would have been hilarious if that ball stayed in the park

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) You may be right, but those first 3 guys are elite defensively which is huge for their overall success. No doubt but I always hear how great this Cubs offense is and while it is good it is nowhere near elite because of the lack of depth once you get past the top half.

Fantastic outing by Cueto. Said it before the series, he has had a lot of success against this Cubs lineup. Now lets see the Giants push across a run.

have a day

Big inning for Cueto here

Ha it's like I'm feeding Smoltz the script

Anyone else think this Cubs lineup is overrated? The top half of the lineup is excellent but the bottom half of their lineup does nothing for me - Russell, Heyward, Baez, Ross
