If you are going to troll and be extremely vocal when things are going well at least be there to face the music when things aren't. At least I could somewhat respect that. But to disappear when things go south is cowardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Also not a good postseason for Montgomery. They need a long man man for a quick pull on Lackey. He's usually it. Do they have someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Nice to see Dodgers get this big Win and now the momentum is squarely with them. From the Cubs perspective, all they really need to do is win tomorrow's game to tie the series 2-2. That's got to be OK with them, as I would imagine they are the favorites in Game 6 (no kershaw, and at Wrigley). A game 7 likely falls neutral (Wrigley vs. Kershaw). The tide has certainly changed from a very pro-cubs tide to now a slight advantage Dodgers. As a Sox fan, I am starting to root heavily for the Cubs dismissal. If anything is firing my Sox fandom up it's the Cubs losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs are sucking currently so you like the Dodgers; Cubs rolled in regular season and first round and you love the Cubs. Just my observation. Not trying to flame you.

I just don't think it's worth getting cute over. They bring some other guy in, he happens to not be sharp, they get something cooking, and then all of the sudden you are using 3-4 more guys to get out of the inning and win. I think the odds are they could have pulled him without something like that happening, but it just isn't worth taking the chance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Blackhawks playoff fan but ignore the regular season. The only team I've ever been a 'fan' of is the White Sox from ~ 02-08 ish. These days, I'm more of a fantasy sports fan, with my only shred of sports fandom left in the Sox, Bears, and Bulls. Of course, living in Wrigleyville has me amped up about the playoffs (Also, I played in an exuberant amount of fantasy baseball leagues this year, likely due to stress of university ). I would likely be more of a 'real' fan of the White Sox if they had any sort of management/front organization that I felt was capable of putting a good product on the field for the fans. I will follow the offseason as I usually do. But for this thread/playoff baseball, I am just an on looker with a very intense observance over the Cubs as they affect my everyday life greatly.
