[x Tame Impala]

They're indestructible. This is amazing.

 

[sugoi88]

So awesome for Montero and so unexpected! Really happy for him!

 

[ChiGuySez]

Fowler follows Montero with B2B hrs.

 

[Xinji]

First NLCS win since '03.

 

[00xtremeninja]

Never give up, love it. Every player off the bench showing up as a threat

 

[Easy E]

And I still think Chapman did his best.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, I don't see how anybody could blame Chapman. He gave up one hit and got three outs when he walked into the worse situation possible for a pitcher to be in.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yeah, I was upset there.. but you can't be mad at him at all.

 

[Xinji]

100% agreed. Could have been much worse.

Basic math taught me:

2016 - 1908 = 108

Wow, what are the Cubs trying to achieve? Nirvana? xD

Lol. Wow. Spooky but amazing.

Although 69, 84, and 03 broke my heart, I love the pre-Ricketts Cubs. That having been said, if the Cubs just go to the WS it would be the third best day of my life after my wedding and the birth of my only child. Go Cubs!

You're a mod?

Big test tomorrow..... Kershaw vs Hendricks.

I'm hoping Montero sparked the Cubbies. Rizzo and Russell are really really killing the Cubs in crucial spots.

I know Maddon won't do it but I would love to see Baez take Rizzo slot in lineup.

Fowler
Bryant
Baez
Zobrist
Rizzo
Russell
Hayward
Catcher
Pitcher

Russell needs to sit. Zobrist to 2b Baez to SS and Wilson to LF. Problem solved.

100% against this.

Defense is still really important.

I would move the lineup around though. Drop Russell and Rizzo in the line up.

Where is the D downgraded other than LF slightly?

 

[BK]

Where is the D downgraded other than LF slightly?

We are downgraded at 2B as well.

ZObrist is a good 2B but Baez is a great 2B.

 

[Easy E]

ZObrist is a good 2B but Baez is a great 2B.

But isn't Russell a premier defender at SS?

I think Joe may move line up, but he certainly won't bench anyone.

By the way, can we talk about Heyward? It looks like he can actually HIT

Yes he is. I think he should remain in the lineup.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Bryant and Rizzo tried to do a Baez defensive play. Epic FAIL. Bruhs, you are tall white guys. Some laws of physics apply here. Please stay at your bag or make the sure throw next time. Do NOT try to imitate Javier. Aint happening.

 

[emeyezee]

Bulls trade Snell for MCW?

 

[BK]

Bulls trade Snell for MCW?

Love the trade.

 

[WJSN]

Bulls sure love guards who can't shoot. Not that Snell can lol

Good trade.
