Kinda disappointed to not see Soler again.

Well, this game clearly won’t end in time for the Cubs broadcast. Ugh.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Makes sense because of the outfield in that park I guess tho.

Rizzo the Rat,
I assume it will be on MLB Network like the other night.
dmick89Quote Reply
Yeah, MLB Network.
dmick89Quote Reply
A win, please.

Turning the crank on that pitch count meat grinder

dmick89,
Right, I don’t have that.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
God damn it. This series will go on for five, won’t it?
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
One day we will figure out how to get Denard Span out.

I hope Lackey can drive in at least two today.
dmick89Quote Reply
Score some runs, please.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
The pitcher wasn’t due up that inning. Ask for runs next inning.

Sometimes you have to tip your cap to a future hall of famer like Connor Gillaspie and Joe Panik

Wow.

We are going to lose this fucking series, aren’t we

I was surprised Lackey gave Moore such a hittable pitch at 0-2.

*goes back to find comment about Cubs losing on 5000 singles*

It’s gonna be a long offseason.

Someone mentioned something about getting seeing eye singled to death at the beginning of this series. This is my nightmare.

Matt Moore has allowed 2 hits through 5. (dying laughing)

About time for Joe to put in all the backups, isn’t it?
dmick89Quote Reply
I’m about sick of the fucking Giants.
dmick89Quote Reply
Fuck.
PerkinsQuote Reply
Crap.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
dmick89,
agreed. certainly
Nate the old recalcitrant one from a long time agoQuote Reply
The Giants couldn’t score runs before yesterday. Now everything they put in play finds a hole.
JonKneeVQuote Reply
When did Joe start hating Carl Edwards Jr?
JonKneeVQuote Reply
It really would have been great if the Cubs could have closed it out yesterday.
PerkinsQuote Reply
At least we’re not being subjected to the announcers jerking off about contact hitting like with the Royals last year
berseliusQuote Reply
Yep
dmick89Quote Reply
Gillaspie. What the fuck.
PerkinsQuote Reply
mother fucking gilaspie. I hate these fuckers
Nate the old recalcitrant one from a long time agoQuote Reply
Is that Connor Gillaspie or David Murphy?
JonKneeVQuote Reply
Is there no one in the pen that throws a sinker? FFS
berseliusQuote Reply
berseliusQuote Reply
I hope Gillaspie tears his ACL running to second. Because fuck that guy and fuck this Giants bullshit of having nobodies be awesome in the postseason.
PerkinsQuote Reply
The Cubs are lucky this game is even semi-close.
dmick89Quote Reply
Is that what this is? Sure seems over to me.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
If they’re going to get some runs, this inning is probably the best bet to do so
berseliusQuote Reply
Oh FFS
berseliusQuote Reply
Ugh.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
There’s no point in standing halfway between first and second, Dexter.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Figures.
dmick89Quote Reply
More horseshit.

Fuck the Giants and everyone who likes the Giants.

Baseball gods shitting on us.

Guy throws 7 balls. Finally throws a strike. Next pitch you get jammed on a fastball. Ugh

Bochy pulling a Maddon

Looks like a cold front is moving in just in time to make it chilly on Thursday night in Chicago.
berseliusQuote Reply
Jesus, this offense sucks ass.
dmick89Quote Reply
The Cubs offense hasn’t been anemic all year, but it certainly is now.
Nate the old recalcitrant one from a long time agoQuote Reply
I’m ready for Madden to stop playing the all defense squad and get some offense in the line up.
Fuck I miss Schwarber.
JonKneeVQuote Reply
Why hasn’t Soler or Contreras entered the game yet? It doesn’t make sense.
JonKneeVQuote Reply
Heyward and Soler need to platoon next year with Schwarber in LF. Heyward can barely hit righties.
dmick89Quote Reply
This fucking sucks. Back in June I knew that if it ended, it would be just like it was then. Fuck this noise.
uncle daveQuote Reply
It’s about fuck this shit o’clock. Here’s hoping they don’t mail it in/get bit by the BABIP dragon in game 5.
PerkinsQuote Reply
Time get Hendricks ready to relieve?
BVSQuote Reply
The Giants pen is still kinda bad, let’s hope they can break through again.
berseliusQuote Reply
I hate how this offense disappears.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Hey guys—before you down that bottle of pills, they still have six outs and an entire game. All this Giants narrative is garbage. The Cubs have have come back from worse—including yesterday when KB brought them back from the brink.
ceruleanQuote Reply
The way this offense is going, Cueto is going to strikeout 50.
dmick89Quote Reply
FFS with that curveball
berseliusQuote Reply
Smokestack Lightning,
Against a mediocre pitcher.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
dmick89,
He’ll get it with nothing but changeups
berseliusQuote Reply
The Giants pen is gassed from last night and kinda bad, that’s why Bochy is sending Moore out for the 8th, which I feel like is kinda playing with fire. I think the Cubs will have a chance.
Look I don’t believe in all that curse bullshit or even year bullshit, but even still, the Cubs are going to have to go to deep dark places and overcome it; that’s what it takes to win in the playoffs.
Nate the old recalcitrant one from a long time agoQuote Reply
Nailed it.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I look forward to the Matt Moore rematch in the regular season next year where we blow his ass up for 10 ER. He is not this good.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
I think it’s plain impossible to get Gillaspie out. I really can’t believe that shit.
Nate the old recalcitrant one from a long time agoQuote Reply
Gillaspie has four hits. Of course.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Smokestack Lightning,
He’ll then blank the Cubs in game 3 of the LDS.
dmick89Quote Reply
Conor Gillaspie: 4-4.
There are no words.
Tho it is funny we all stress the random variance of baseball, but when it shows up, we’re just as befuddled by it as anybody else.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Nice to see the pen settle down once it put the game out of reach.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Smokestack Lightning,
If it was July, I’d shrug and go to bed. Now it just pisses me off. (dying laughing)
dmick89Quote Reply
Smokestack Lightning,
Nice low stress outing there by Rondon.
dmick89Quote Reply
This guy has such a punchable face
berseliusQuote Reply
Bryant had a pretty good postseason.
dmick89Quote Reply
Get that rally cap on. Time for an epic comeback. Let’s bat around.
ceruleanQuote Reply
While I don’t expect to come back in the ninth here, in light of Derek Law’s histrionics last night, I wouldn’t mind if the Cubs made him bleed a little.
Get a run off him, Cubes. Remind him he’s really not very good.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Damn. Bochy took him out.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Twice. I want to bat around twice.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply

So the Cubs were in the postseason in 1986. News to me.

It’s not optimism; it’s just excessive negativity that’s so negative, it wraps back around.
