ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Go Giants or Mets! It would be satisfying as hell for the Cubs to lose in the 1st round after having their fans talk so much s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Pulling for the Giants as I believe they have the best chance of knocking off the Cubs since most of the Mets starters are on the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Mets will win and blown their only starter in the process and then get swept by the cub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot where I saw that the Mets have the best record since like August 12th, wouldn't it be better to ride the hot hand and hope the Mets can pull the upset?

35thstreetswarm Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 If I were the Cubs I would be terrified of the Giants. I don't see the Mets beating the Cubs two postseasons in a row, but who knows? Either way, if the Cubs lose game 1 at home the pressure will be unbelievable.

LittleHurt05 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 8:15 Friday night start time for game 1. That will be a highly lubricated crowd in Wrigley, they don't even allow regular season Friday night games there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 A matchup with the Giants in the first round is a nightmare scenario for the Cubs. I think the Giants match up better with the Cubs than any other team in the NL. Cueto twice, Moore, and possibly Bumgarner twice if he goes on short rest in game 5. Cubs roster has a career OPS of 525 vs. Cueto and 597 vs. Bumgarner. Giants roster hasn't had much more success against Cubs starters either but in a tight low scoring game anything can happen. Not saying they are a lock to win the pennant but I think the 10:1 line on the Giants advancing to the World Series is the best bet in Vegas right now. We'll see if they can first get past Syndergaard tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants are the favorite and I would go as far as saying a lock if the game were in SF but with the game in NYC it's a toss up. Bumgarner has been much more effective at home than on the road this season. Syndergaard has been slightly more effective on the road than at home so it should be interesting.

Middle Buffalo Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Sad that I clicked on this to find out who the "evil empire" is. Gotta turn my baseball mind back on. From a 23-10 start to the manager getting fired - I checked out at mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Giants have no chance. It will be a sweep as a matter of fact. San Fran does not have the team. Anemic lineup. Cubs have bruisers. Cubs roll. Sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 In my heart, I badly want the Cubs to lose. But I can't openly cheer against them as I try to be above all that. So I won't be a dick to my Cubs fan friends and mock them or root for the Giants, but I would laugh manically inside if Samardzija torches them in Game 2.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Lots of ex Sox on the Giants. WC game hero Gillaspie, Beckham, Peavy , Samardzija. Every major Chicago sports team has won a championship in my lifetime except the Cubs. No reason to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
