besides, neither of these two teams would have a chance against the tribe, so stop all the hand wringing

how are they set for 5 to 10 yr run now..

There no guarantee of a playoff run..
This could be their best opportunity for a while

we have no idea how any of these young bats besides maybe bryant are going to perform next year..
Contreras baez russell and especially schwarber

pitching..
Arrieta lester lackey are all over 30

may have already seen the best of arrieta and lester as a cub

who knows if hendricks for real or just had a career year

yes, they have good young position players
but
sp may be at end of rope

so, no guarantee today , that their set for a long run

why, after season they had with offense scoring and pitchers being somewhat dominant all year..
This could of been their best chance..

Ok,, i'm done ranting
they pissed me off tonight
after the big comeback win saturday, i expected them to have their shit together with the bats and just start playing their game..

Kershaw, ok he got the best of them cause he great
but
fukn rich hill..come on

I'm speechless. Same issues last year.... This year. Even the guys they brought in to "fix" the issue are not hitting.

This is why I don't watch much regular season baseball. 100+ wins doesn't mean shit.

I'm not sayin it's over though. Going down 2-1 isn't the end of the world by any means.

This is just embarrassing. What I am seeing is a team looking for walks or a homerun no in between. They seem to be begging for walks, not looking to hit, not being aggressive. That's the wrong strategy for this opponent. They just don't walk many batters.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Illinois Fighting Illini
These guys take too many pitches in playoff baseball. It screws them. They are passive and letting pitchers dictate to them. First time through the order is fine. After that with the starter, see something good early in the count, take some hacks. Very fristrating to watch.

Historically, the best team in baseball only has a 20% chance of winning the WS. So the best team in baseball loses in the playoffs literally all the time.

Stop being dumb.

Oh, Ok. They look great. Not choking after making back to back NLCS', even if they lose both. Are you fucking high? If they lose to the fucking Dodgers, who they have a very clear edge over in every category, it's a choke job. Yup, looking great! Tell us again how they came back against the Giants!
