Poor Synderguard. No run support.

Umm, they went up against the best playoff pitcher in history. What did you expect?

So who's pitching for SF Friday?

Probably Cueto

not the match up I wanted to be the man WOOOOOOO you gotta beat the man

The Giants scare the shit out of me. They can't lose in the playoffs.

If the Cubs play like they have been playing most of the year, it shouldn't matter.

Cubs face Cueto, then Shark in two "must-win" games, with Bum in Game 3.

Just kidding. I predict they tag Bumgarner with a loss. #calleditfirst

Bring on the Giants. Cubs should make Cueto and Shark throw a lot of pitches.

Yeah I like our chances with our two CY candidates going in the first two games!

Conventional Cub fan wisdom was we should root for NY. I tried. I failed. Bring on the Giants!

I failed as well. I didn't want to face the Giants but I hate the annoying Mets fans and the ESPN east coast bias nearly as much as the Cardinal fans.

Poor Synderguard. No run support.

Syndergaard has some of the nastiest stuff I've ever seen. He throws 97+ like 50 times per 9 innings. Did anyone see his change up? Its disgusting. And his 94mph slider? Good Lord.

That will be a difference against Bum from what the Mets did. He threw 21 pitches total in the first three innings.

Tough way to end it. I would prefer the umpire not to call that strike three, but it was close.

Darvish gives up 4 homers. 3 solo shots in the 5th. Rangers need a big come back or this series is a wrap.

Blue Jays have played 3 games before the Cubs play 1

Yep and while I get having to play that extra game to get in is rough....if you win it, particularly like Toronto won it...you can get on a roll real quick and steam roll your opponent before they know what happened to them.
