10/09: NLDS Game 1: Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals 5:30PM Lester vs. Lackey

[A.C. Milan]

surely is vital to have Ross behind the plate huh? and Strop strikes again with the Cardinals, awful inning

 

[chibears55]

Pham and pisscoty do the damage
Not molina or Holliday

 

[A.C. Milan]

how many times this season Strop fucked it up against the Cardinals? I remember 3 for sure

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Except this team is just too young. Honestly, they've exceeded all my expectations already for this season, and this series isn't over yet. It's only one game gents.

They've exceeded all my expectations too but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.

 

[chibears55]

Watch the cubs score 1 or 2 now in the 9th and leave tie run on base

Guys, relax - it's game 1.

 

[FrankieLyrical]

I think that was what this season was all about, get the experience and really think about 2016. But we over achieved so now it will be baptism under fire. Nothing can replace this type of experience. Funny thing is I don't think it is over by a long shot if we lose tonight. The youngsters need to get untracked or it will be over in 3, 4 tops.

I don't think the series is over either, this game is just frustrating. I still think we take it in 5

Strop is a joke

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

It's not like they were going up against a scrub tonight. Strop, that dude sucks. Carlos Marmol II.

game 1 but we had our 2nd best pitcher on the mound

Game 1 is a 5 game series is extremely important. Especially when you have the overall inferior pitching.

**** the cardinals! pretty much all I gotta say about that

Agree on the frustrating part, need to hit to win games. We have what, two hits? Hard to beat anyone, let alone a battle tested team like the Cards with that.

Fucking strop. Probably would've been better if he were off this series. Dudes worthless against st Louis.

Exactly. If Lester had just got rocked, it would've been much easier to swallow. But this was a 1 run game for the majority of it and we couldn't do shit with Lackey. But just like I told my buddy: This loss will either make us better or make us fold. We're going to see the true character of our beloved Cubs

actually if he would be useless it would be a great improvement

Absolutely - I'll pm you the results of game 2 in case anything happens

 

[FrankieLyrical]

I want Soler in the line up tomorrow. **** Coghlan

Only if bats come to life and score mega runs...

Hendricks tomorrow, bats probably need to get 4+ off Garcia

Arrieta and Wacha Monday. .
Pretty much like tonight, need to score

Hammel on Tuesday if it gets that far

So, besides Arrieta with a tough opponent, they need Hendricks and or Hammel to win


They needed to win Lester and Arrieta starts and hope to get 1 from Hendricks or Hammel

 

[Crda44]

Yeah he's been worthless for a couple months now
