Re: the Official Baseball thread
Fortunately, the Cubs have Jon Lester going for them tomorrow, and he's pretty much been their best pitcher (and given their stellar rotation, that's saying something), so we can hope he'll send the Cubs home with the lead, rather than trailing.

Woot! Addison Russell does it again! Cubs gotta win this one, so they can get to game 7!

Re: the Official Baseball thread
And the Cubs have blown it opened, 8-1, thanks to a bases-clearing double by Javier Baez. Man, that kid has had big hit after big hit for the Cubs *all* season long, and the postseason is *no* exception. Cubs better hang out to him, because he keeps this up, and he's gonna be a force in that lineup for years.
I hope you're watching this, Bean.

Looks like the Cubs found their groove. Hopefully Hendricks will be on his A-Game on Saturday and they can close out the Dodgers for good.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
I have to care more for my health at this point. I had a fractured tooth that was worked on, and cold liquids, air, and stress agitate it. It's getting better, but no, I've kind of had a distant eye on things for the most part in this series to avoid that stress part. It's fun to wake up to these scores, though.YelseyKing wrote:I hope you're watching this, Bean.

Anyway, let's hope they can find a way past Kershaw in game 6. That 1-0 loss in game 2 was just... ick.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
So. Game 6 is about to start. Who's ready for some soul-crushing despair as the Cubs drop both home games?
Kershaw in game 6. And the suddenly inexplicably unhittable Rich Hill is almost guaranteed for game 7. Along with Jansen for a couple innings, followed by Kershaw again to get the save.
Please prove me wrong, Cubs.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Good start. 2 hits and 1 run already, no outs.
Edit 1 - and then a catching error.
Edit 2 - and then a sac fly.
Edit 3 - A 30 pitch first. Cubs leave one runner on third.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
If my calculations are correct, the Cubs have scored infinite x2 runs more against Kershaw after four batters than they did in the entire game 2. Hey, make the guy work; force him out early and then beat up their bullpen.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
3-0 in game 6... worries me.
That said, I imagine the Cubs' Secret Police Force (which they totally have, guys) has been ordered to shoot Steve Bartman on sight if he comes within 500 yards of Wrigley Field.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
The Cubs guy is pitching lights out and Kershaw can't help but give up a double each inning so far.
Edit: And then he gives up a homerun. Geez Kershaw. :P

Re: the Official Baseball thread
He gave up another. XD
That's 5 innings of giving up a double or home run.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
I have this huge smile on my face right now. I've been watching sports since 1989, and my two favorite teams (Blues and Cubs) have never made it to the finals in their respective leagues. Twelve more outs, and it will finally happen.

Holy cow he's basically been perfect minus a single and an error.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Nine outs left... I'm still nervous about the 8th inning, though... Of course, the Cubs have a *much* better pen than they did in 2003, so...
Edit: Haw. Kershaw's out after only five innings. Granted, his replacement is no slouch, either. But that amuses me.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
I honestly wouldn't be opposed to them just leaving the guy in if he's pitching so well.
