whitesoxjr27 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 04:37 PM) I said from the beginning of the playoffs that the Cardinals would lose to either the Cubs or Pirates in the DS. They're just too banged up and pretty much all of their pitchers overachieved their peripherals. I just hoped the Cubs would crap themselves under the pressure their fans create. Looks like that didn't exactly happen. I'm hoping they crap themselves against the mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 10:37 PM) Complained about the ball. Lackey already had it on the mound. And the ump had to come out to him to replace it. Ah yes, the whole "he's cheating, it's the only way we can lose" argument from Game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe this is actually true. We didn't clinch any of our series at home in 2005. Cubs clinched the DS in Atlanta in 2003 as well.

The Mets starting pitching is way stronger than the Cardinals depleted rotation at this point and I think the argument could be made that the Mets offense is better too. The Cubs are in trouble.

And believe it or not, the Mets actually have a decent offense. Cespedes, Wright, d'Arnaud, Duda, Granderson, Conforto all with good power.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) You better be right! John Lackey at 36 years old is the Cardinals "ace" right now. The Mets have arguably 4 or 5 starters that are better than Lackey. Hell, Bartolo might be better than him and he's in their bullpen right now. The Cubs pitching staff is going to have to man up ASAP because they won't hit 6 homers and score 8+ runs a game against the Mets pitching staff. They'll be lucky to get 3 or 4 runs a game.

Harry Chappas Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I still think there is something wrong with Arrieta and now Hammell? In the NL long term the Mets are pretty stacked going forward and I would say they have a better long term outlook than the cub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also with Mets not having Wright, Cespedes and D'Arnaud. Most of those games were low scoring, and you have to think with the offensive improvements, the Mets would have won a few of those.

Depends if the Cubs go out and buy blue chip pitching, which they can certainly do because they're paying nothing to these rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
