The Cubs have an embarrassment of riches with young position players. And they really have fun playing as a team.

Just in case no one noticed.....record wise...the Cubs just eliminated the two best teams in baseball.
That would make the Cubs the best team....wouldn't it?
Damn right it would!!!

Week end away. Tue-Thurs at Wrigley Weekend away.
Lester: Home: 3.60 Away: 2.93
Makes more sense to pitch him #2. Start Sunday and back on the mound next Saturday for game 6. Arrieta game 1 and 5.
Game 7 would be on the #3 starter then. Makes you really want a upgrade. Think Hendricks has inherited the role right now but that has to be addressed this off season.

Same here. Still vaguely remember my first game with my pops in 89 when I was 5. They played the Dodgers. We got a 75th Anniversary poster of Wrigley Field.

I wanted to see the Dodgers stress out the Mets staff as much as possible, and then see the Mets win it. I don't want to face Kershaw and Greinke if I don't have to.

Stat cast had Schwarber's bomb at 419 feet. That seems way short to me. I think 519 feet is probably closer.

Cubs had 97 so only 3 behind and the Pirates had 98. That is insane. It is hard to really say any of those teams were not the best in baseball and right now I think you can make the Case the Cubs are the best.

Silence, I honestly don't give a shit. I am just really happy they won. Have a great night and enjoy it while it lasts.

Sucks that Cubs won't have home field at any point through the playoffs even though they have the best remaining record. And, until they change it, I will continue to point out how dumb fuck Special person it is to have an exhibition game decide home field for the championship.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, if the Cubs make it past the NLCS, not having home field could be an advantage for the Cubs with the DH.

Lack of home field is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the 2-3-2 format heavily favors road teams who can split the first two.
