You've got Kluber with a career high workload throwing on 3 days rest, then Jah knows what. This site got souped last week when the Dodgers totally definitely had the Cubs on the ropes last week. Notice we only hear from certain posters when the Cubs lose, and even then they're hedging because facts are facts and the Cubs are that good. I'm happy the series is extended because Game 3 was the game I could not watch all the way through. I watched 3 innings before I had to cave and sleep. I still think the whole "no garauntees" is a bit corny and cliche btw. This team was already head and shoulders above everyone else without anything like luck, with injuries and down years from significant talents, and no one even close to a career season except Fowler. It's going to take monumental sh*t to take this franchise down, and two WS losses out of 4 still aren't it. I'll be shocked if they lose this series even, but still fully expect them to shown up at least twice more before the decade closes. I was just making a ferris bueller joke because the movie is set in a chicago suburb and they go to a cubs game in the movie. hell I was nervous and I watch 10 baseball games a year, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee that this Cubs team, even with this young talent, will get back to this point again. Live for today Exactly.

Black cat of '69 Bull Durham ground ball Choke in Bartman NLCS June swoons Those are just a few. Like you mentioned, those have nothing to do with this year, but that does not mean the Cubs are not known for some memorable gags. The Mets have the same type of history, but have also come through a few times. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, cats and some fan trying to catch a ball aren't major catastrophes that throw a franchise off for years. The young pitching blowing up last decade would be a more real example. That is what young pitching does more often than not historically, so they went in a much more stable direction this time and developed high end hitters.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah on understanding your pre-game jitters but it's still nice to have a Saturday night prime time WS game with your team involved. Besides Kluber in game 4, the Cubs SP pitching has the edge and it's not even close. Bats are due as well. Met fans went though the same nerves last year with the lead in much of those WS games only to watch the pen and defense cough it up. Enjoy and good luck!.

Harder to grasp them as explanations when they don't actually explain anything. I do enjoy that the narrative shifted in this direction once it become obvious and easy to the casual baseball fans/Mets homers of this forum that everything I've said about these Cubs is true. Like if *that's* the best the little group's self designated leader can come up with then I'm good for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, can't always get what we want right? It doesn't seem being impartial is a requirement THO. If anything impartiality would be working against the cause. My impression was that the role was created to attempt to funnel and mold the butthurt into something a little more coherent and cohesive than the previous 5 months of hackery.

SenorGato Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 The two seamer that was killing the Cubs the other night does not appear to be there tonight. I saw 91 without much against Fowler. The wind got the Zobrist fly and kept it in, but they're not struggling here to make contact. This Kluber - on short rest well past his career high in IP - looks nothing like the one the other night. Already leaning on his breaking ball, which is neither as hard or crisp as the other night....Fastball velocity looks down, movement definitely isn't there...Thanks, Indians!

RutgersJetFan Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 This lineup really chokes at home in the playoffs. They couldn't put up any runs in the NLCS either. Nothing but sympathy to the people who paid thousands for tickets the past two days. I know what it's like to splurge for WS tickets and it doesn't work out. It sucks.

I was thinking the same. I will check it out in the AM. Planning to be in Lincoln Park to watch the Jets anyway. Couple of stops on the red line to Wrigley. But not at $800 a ticket.
