QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) This was only a matter of time. Excuse train rolling in before the series is even over... #That'sCub I guess. The cubs and their fanbase are known for their excuses. Just ask the billy goat. " wait til next year" QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) Then why even play tonight? Does Maddon have to bring in the petting zoo again? Lol. Well, kids love petting zoo's.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/cubs-br...en-a-long-year/ Yep, the cubs are pooped! I think den mother Maddon forgot to put the cubbies down for their nappies.

I'll go with Kopech based on his accomplishments at Birmingham and a handful of starts at Charlotte.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Alex Wood needs to bring it tonight, 6 shutout innings, Arrieta gets battered around for 3 innings and gets pulled in his last start as a Cub. Dodgers sweep the Scrubbies and celebrate in Wrigley Field. I do wonder how long Arrieta will last tonight in that cool night air with the way he throws across his body.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 08:32 AM) I’m not even a teacher and I want to bust out a red pen right now good lord To be fair, that post is actually a noticeable improvement from their previous posts. I needed a board member to interpret one of their posts for me last week. No joke.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:56 PM) Pick the dodgers to win the series? Probably. I'm still trying to solve the ALCS puzzle. That's been sorta of kicking my ass. Yeah man, the ALCS was way too unpredictable with the way the Yanks had been playing. I wouldn't have bet on that series. It kinda feels like the Yanks have the magic the cubs had last year.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 11:42 PM) Cubs ran into the Dodger buzzsaw. They are going to win the series. So will you with a few more bucks in your pocket.

Cub fans. Was Happ and La Stella all that you had hoped for? Blow cubs blow, blow cubs blow, hey Chicago what do you say, the cubs they f***ing lost today! Hang those L's boys!!!

Am I being greedy by asking for a few more from LA? Nah!!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) Come on LA , get a few more this inning. Thank you!!!

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:52 PM) Horseshoe almost gone? Haha. I'm still on edge until they are completely gone. I hope it's gone. Still won't watch it because I'm superstitious like that. Respect the streak!

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:51 PM) Cubs in 7??

Roberts out managing the great Maddon by light years.

Schwarber in LF, Happ in CF, Zobrist in RF. Good job Maddon!

Come on LA , get a few more this inning.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 10:12 PM) Bryant Good thing I'm not a betting man, I would have lost.

I see the cubs have an error. Was it Schwarber?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) I like Narvaez as a backup when we're contending, but he's horrendous defensively I do agree Narvaez is going to be a backup but one season of Grandal means he will not be around for the next Sox contender. Let Narvaez and the Sox pitchers take their lumps next year. It's part of the rebuild process.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) I'm just going to follow this thread. Same here. I'll check ESPN from time to time but that's it.

Ha ha, went for a walk with Houston up 4-2 and come home to a Yankee win. Nice!

Not going to watch the game again so just wanted to say, GO DODGERS!
