Other Chicago & General Sports Thread LIV: Cubs clinch the NL Central!

[hawksrule]

Hendricks pitched a gem. Hope the pen can hold it.

 

[TorMenT]

I can't believe Maddon left Hendricks in that long. Seems like he NEVER gives him more than 6 no matter how good of a game he's pitching.

 

[Easy E]

****ing CLE won... Oh well.

 

[Easy E]

WOW. We have Kyle Hendricks until 2021....Jesus Christ.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Just happy that that call wasn't against us.

And Cubs win!

 

[Easy E]

Wade throws such a smooth pitch.

 

[BK]

Good win.

 

[JCraw1]

Great game Hendricks. Good start to the postseason.

 

[Rooh]

 

[SAADfather]

Fully expecting a 3-0 win or loss, with the victors getting all their runs in a single inning.

Extremely close to being a spot on prediction. Well done.

That call sucked for the Nationals, but it’s a good call.

 

[Kurtosis]

That call sucked for the Nationals, but it’s a good call.

Yeah it sucked for sure. He went outside the baseline for no reason though.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yeah it sucked for sure. He went outside the baseline for no reason though.

Yeah I don’t get what he was doing there, or why he didn’t correct himself by the end.

 

[BrianE]

Great game, Cubbies again finding a way to win, Hendricks was fantastic. Get 2 more of these then move on.

 

[BrianE]

****ing CLE won... Oh well.

Ugh they are scary yet again.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Cubs are the first and only road team (so far) to win since the post season begin with the WC games. (Whistles nonchalantly.)


Score a couple of runs early against Gio Gonzalez and I believe the Nationals would pull a Cubs 2008 (post James Loney grand slam) and go quietly into the night.

 

[BK]

WOW. We have Kyle Hendricks until 2021....Jesus Christ.

Might be Theo's best move (maybe Arrietta and Strop trade?).

 

[RayP]

#3 Oklahoma just lost at home to 2-2 Iowa State. ISU outscored tgem 28-7 in the second half to upset them, I think.

 

[TorMenT]

My dad's alma mater with the upset!

 

[TorMenT]

Unfortunately I'm leaving for a wedding shortly and will miss the Cubs game. Hopefully back in time for the end of the Hawks game since I work at 6am and the wife works at 7am.

 

[RayP]

I think Pedro Martinez ate another human.

 

[BrianE]

Extremely close to being a spot on prediction. Well done.

So NFS what's the score going to be?

 

[TorMenT]

Odd lineup today

 

[BrianE]

Sounds like wind is blowing in...

 

[BrianE]

Grrr...down 1 - 0 early, let's get it back.
