It's the third NLCS in a row for the Cubs, and a rematch of last year's showdown. It's hard to believe that the Dodgers won more games than last year's Cubs team, despite that 1 for 21 stretch or whatever it was earlier this year. This team is pretty fucking good. The Cubs find themselves in pretty much the same …
NLDS Game 5: Cubs 9, Nationals 8
OSS: That was the craziest Cubs’ winner-take-all clincher I have seen since the last time they had a winner-take-all clincher.* Three up: On a night of shaky pitching performances all around, Wade Davis somehow put together a seven out save to send the Cubs to the NLCS. He didn't have his best stuff, but he brought it for the final …
NLDS Game 3: Cubs 2, Nationals 1
OSS: Cubs win despite getting no hit for most of the game again. Three+ up: Anthony Rizzo had the biggest hit of the game, a bloop single to left that managed to find the hole between three defenders to drive in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. It more than made up for the double play he hit into …
NLDS Game 1: Cubs 3, Nationals 0
OSS: Cyle pitches a gem and Bryzzo get just enough off of Strasburg to put the Cubs up 1-0 on the Nats. Three up: Kyle Hendricks showed why Joe had enough faith in him to make him the game one starter, pitching seven shutout innings with six strikeouts, two walks, and three hits allowed. The only vaguely threatening moment that …
NLCS: Mets @ Cubs Game 3
It's time for some of that famous Cubs magic. Oh, nevermind. I guess they'll just have to win the old fashioned way. Lineups Mets Curtis Granderson, RF David Wright, 3B Whatever Murphy, 2B Yoenis Cespedes, CF Lucas Duda, 1B Travis d'Arnaud, C Michael Conforto, LF Wilmer Flores, SS Jacob deGrom, P Cubs Dexter Fowler, CF Kyle Schwarber, LF Kris Bryant, …
NLCS: Cubs and Mets Series Preview Part 1
I thought I’d break this into at least 2 parts. The first part will focus on the pitching, particularly the Mets pitching. We’re all familiar enough with the Cubs pitching. In short, the Mets starting pitching is good. The first game is going to be started by Matt Harvey, but he’s their 3rd starter. And Matt Harvey is good at …
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4 part 3
Let's finish these bitches off.
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4 part 2
Comments filling up and getting slow in the other thread. Will be addressing the slowing down during peak times soon.
NLDS: Cardinals @ Cubs Game 4
Here we go. Time to clinch this and get it done. I'll take 6 more home runs today and I think that will be good for a win. Addison Russell injured his hamstring last night on a triple and was removed immediately. It didn't look awful, but you never know with those things. He's not in the lineup and Javier …
