IGT: Cubs vs. Dodgers Game 6(NLCS)

[Mitchapalooza]

so are the indians tougher than the Giants and Dodgers you think? Barely followed baseball this year.

 

[wklink]

They have a very good pen. Miller is nearly unhittable. This will be a really good series, good pitching on both squads, decent defense. Our offense might have a slight edge.

This one could go either way. The Indians destroyed every team they played in the post season. We have been putting up a ton of runs over the last few games and look like the Cubs everyone expected. This should be fun.

I remember when...

A mod said I should hold my horses on Russell and Contreras coming up to the bigs. I remember getting a lot of grief when I thought Kyle reminded me of Maddux. I remember when the Sox had a much better rotation then the Cubs. I remember when I said the Cubs were better off trading Castro and getting a bunch of grief. I remember when I got a whole bunch of shit for saying that Maddon was worth at least 5 more wins. I remember when Omelet thought Bryant sucked. I remember when Sox fans thought their rebuild was better than the Cubs. I remember when the idiots gave me a hard time when I said the Cubs would compete last year, let alone this year. Most of all, I remember when Crys banned me from the Sox forum for saying that the Cubs were a better team than the Sox!

No, Theo didnt push for him to go to the AFL. Schwarber called him and asked if he could do this because he was cleared on Monday without the Cubs doing it. Schwarber is pushing to get on the roster. Theo and them are still being stand offish until they see how he is in the league. Also, if we do make the World Series, I want Szczur on the roster considering Andrew Miller is killing everyone. I highly doubt the Cubs start Schwarber as a DH and you are sticking him in a PH role with 6 months of rust to knock off in what? A week? So, yes, I think this is a long shot and I think this is Schwarber trying to force a hand.

You lost me on the "I want Szczur because Andrew Miller is killing everyone".

It'll be interesting how Kershaw is viewed after this. He pitched well this offseason but still came up short. Media is gonna have to put the blame on someone. Would be a shame if they dump it on him.

In a series like this, it's unfair to heap it on Kersh. He didn't have his curveball. TBT, overall he had the same stuff tonight as game 3. But when you are playing against one of the best offensive teams in baseball...if you do not have your full tool bag going for you in your second outing against the team that saw you just a few days ago, bats will find balls.

Kershaw is a formidable opponent and shouldn't be judged for the workload the Dodgers put on him throughout the playoffs. Eventually it catches up to everyone.

Last post in this thread.... I remember 1984 when I was 14 rushing home from school to watch the Cubs lose, Steve Garvey coming over from the Dodgers to beat us.

I remember 1989, and having to watch Will Clark play better then he ever has help the Giants beat us.

I remember 1998, getting swept by the Braves. One of our own, Greg Maddux getting the win on a sweep.

I remember 2003. Well, should I say anymore than it wasn't Bartman's fault.

I remember 2007, 2008, all the money spent, all the hype, all the choke. swept both times in the 1st round.



And now. 2016. The Cubs, blew it up, did it right, drafted well, and picked up the few pieces to make this a whole team. A whole team that is young. I remember before the All Star break. I thought this was my fathers cubs. " OMG are we going to fall apart again? Like so often in the past?" Well no, this Cubs team is not your fathers cubs.

The best thing that could ever happened was this team was purchased by an owner that is a fan. The Rickett's family then hired, The Man, Theo Epstein, and has built a team, that finally has gotten us to the promise land. The World Series.


So I would like to thank the Rickett's family for finally making Cub fans relevant. I as a fan have been watching losing for more then 30 yrs. After 2008, I actually gave up on them. I was so disgruntled, I wasn't sure I would ever come back. Luckily I did.

Thank you Rickett's family. Thank you.

This is just such an unbelievable feeling! One question I have is how many people experienced traumatic deja vu when that foul ball went down the left field line on that Chapman pitch? I can't believe the shows aren't talking about that.

I was thinking "oh shit, here we go. This team is different, but oh shit"

Spot on....this is me also.

I'll add.....2008 made me ready now to walk away and not careven as much, which was easy because we fell apart and weren't good for 7 years.

Then 2015 happened and I thought....we better win now when we've come from out of nowhere because we will be very very good for the next 5 + years but will have all the pressure on us.

Well....1 year later the team has said screw pressure!

Just please don't get satisfied and let up.....4 wins to go for the ultimate prize!

I was thinking of Ron Santo, and the Coworkers family and friends that did not get to see this day. baseball is the best sport in the world IMO and this team is so easy to like.
four more win. #FlytheW

Hendricks didn't get part of the co-mvp of the nlcs but probably should have.

Game 2 - 5.1 IP, 3 hits, 4 bb, 5 k's 1 ER
Game 6 - 7.1 IP, 2 hits, 0 bb, 6 k's, 0 ER

compared to Lester's

Game 1 - 6 IP, 4 hits, 1 bb, 3 k's, 1 ER
Game 5 - 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 bb, 6 k's, 1 ER

Only pitched one fewer out, gave up 4 fewer hits, 2 more walks, had 2 more K's and 1 fewer run.

Yeah, completely agree. It's kind of bullshit. Having 3 MVPs would be a bit much, sure, but they should have just given it to Javy and called it good.

I'm 37 today (well technically yesterday, 10/22). That series is to this day, is tied with the 06 Super Bowl as the MOST agonizing sports losses of my lifetime, in my eyes.

I was in 5th grade for that series. I lived in the North Bay Area for a short time growing up. And was there for that loss. The shit talking I had to endure was beyond unbearable. So, the way the Cubs gave the Giants a glimmer of hope in the this post season, only to rip their hearts out...I gotta say I loved it. I may not be in touch with all my former classmates (well only one actually-small world, my wife turned out to be friends with someone I went to 5th grade with) and I dedicated that win to her for her shit talking back in the day.

It's interesting to see fangraphs and likely other stats places are putting the cubs odds in this forthcoming series at roughly 65%.

Some people just need everyone to know they were right.

True Dat! Like I am going to now throw out how right I am that KBISBACK, CubsKoolaid, Kansas Bayd, or whatever name he currently uses is, and always will be wrong about the Cubs.

Get the picture you apparent post-flagger?
