Yep, he'll put it out of reach.

So 4 out of 5 is not impossible. So radio wise how do they play this out? Maddon on Spiegs and Goff on Tuesday afternoon and B&B tomorrow? I am interested to see this. This does kinda suck for my Cub fan family though.

In this instance, I really hate being right.

Not good boys. Not good.

While not impossible, coming back to win this series is going to be on tough hill to climb. The odds of Hendricks and Hammel getting it done in back to back outings has to be low, though regardless of what they do we're going to need to score some runs. Hopefully we make some history going forward.

Never forget.....

Gotta face and beat deGrom though. I think they'll play better but they basically need to sweep and I don't see that happening.

I don't get it either. You make your offense and defense worse for a player who had barely anything to do with this team all season? Why?


Are you guys really questioning Maddon? It's almost unbelievable.

Amazingly enough, that dumbass Ned Yosts team is up 2-0.

Just stop it. Your Pollyanna Cub trope is getting really fucking old. You know damn well there are plenty who know what the 'score' is.

Switch the managers and both their teams still have the same record.

Not bad for a team that's 1.645 years early. Think about how good they'll be in 1.70 years!

Does madden change once there are expectations? He never finished the job in Tampa...they always lost. I feel like he has managed this series differently. Putting Lester 1st, pinch hitting god awful La Stella instead of Montero last night, leaving La Stella in the game and benching Baez....Doing the same shit with La Stella and Baez tonight.

It just feels different. There were no expectations until this series and now they are playing like shit and the managing has been odd.

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't believe I've posted anything about the Cubs during this series. I told you I was indifferent to the outcome. I just find it very strange that guys could spend months talking about how great a manager a guy is and then turn on a dime and question him like he's a fool over his choice to pinch hit for a career .200 hitter. Maddon didn't lose these two games any more than he won the Cardinals series.

No, I really don't. If you're looking to be angry at a Sox fan gloating over a Cub loss you'll have to look elsewhere. I'm sure that guy won't be difficult to find.
