That's what this team does. Hendricks vs Degrom down two games to none? We're fucked. How could any Cubs fan not think so otherwise?.

The Cubs will probably find a way to win that game though. This team seems to do the exact opposite of what we think they should do. This series will probably go back to New York.

No more negative thoughts. Hands in the middle. Let's win this fucking series.

It's over HG.

Appreciate the enthusiasm but we've been here before.

Actually, we/I haven't. We've/I've been way further ahead in the NLCS, and it didn't work. It's over.

Baseball postseason history is littered with teams that have blown 2-0 series leads. Happened once this post season already.

Wrigley crowd will be a maniacal on Tuesday.

98.5% certain its over... But It was a great season..I watched more baseball this year, than the previous 5 seasons combined.




1. Gotta get an ace - Greinke or Price maybe a Cueto or Zimmerman.

2. Trade Baez for Pitching.
3. Schwarber is the backup catcher next post season.. Ross can't be on that roster.

4. Move Bryant to Center and let Fowler walk.
5. 3rd base coach is fired.



More moves to come....

Rome and Caesar were a year early.

Gaul was right on time.

How much pain and disappointment can one fandom endure?

I've already seen one Cub fan say: "It was a great year"


Let's all buy our jerseys and souvenirs and thank Lord Theo for feeding us peasants steak after 3 years of cornmeal. The steak is getting really tough and chewy.

The future is set up,but the problem is nothing ever gets done in the present!


For one reason or another,the Cubs were created to disappoint. I for one don't know if I can take anymore.

If the Cubs don't hit 7 or 8 home runs over the next 3 games at Wrigley, I don't think this series gets back to New York.

Cubs will win all 3 here.

Temperatures will be in the 60s-70s, and the bats will come alive.

Tuesday appears to be windy and rainy-- not very condusive to hitting-- and Weds & Thurs will see gametime temps in the 50s. Better than what they just went thru, but still not great.

The Mets lineup is good. They scored more than the Cubs in the second half.

Wright, Cespedes, and Darnaud are all huge additions

But its baseball and weird stuff happens. We'll see.

Arrieta looked decent after the first. Maybe rain will make it so that he can pitch 3 more games. And they'll win the World Series on Thanksgiving

Yup.

well, I'll give Peeps credit...much like FF, when he makes a bad prediction, he sticks right with it and goes down with the ship. FF had his Spurs, Peeps had the Cubs.

The Cubs were done before this series started. This is a decent, not good team with a lot of holes that are exposed when the pressure of the playoffs are on. I won't predict a sweep but I think it's over in five.

for fuck's sake, it's only 0-2. They are coming back home against a team with plenty of flaws.

Like usual, GD is the voice of reason.
What is with all of the people on the ledge? My gawd. The Cubs have looked bad....the Mets have looked way better. The better team won the first two games.
There isn't much to complain about or criticize......they're just getting beat.
Even by wining tomorrow's game, the Mets will start getting a little itchy. Win tomorrow's game.

Dr. Ken: [to jimmypasta] "What's the Hawks got to do with this?"

jimmypasta: "Forget it, he's pazzo."

Godfella: "And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go Cubs go!"

[Godfella runs out; then returns]

Godfella: "What the heck happened to the Cubbie Diehard I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest series of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to be positive with you Godfella, we might stir up the Sox fans and start trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Murphy, he's a dead man! Granderson, dead! The entire Mets douchbag fan base..."


You get the idea, fellas. Seriously, come on, this isn't over yet! I've invested too much time to just wave the white flag already. Peoria Matt, jimmypasta, Dr. Ken, Elmhurst Steve and the rest of the True Blues - have faith and think positive! Continue to root root root for the Cubbies. This is the year don't give up now...

A very stupid post

Isn't the white flag good? I get so confused with the Cubs these days.

@rpb - Thank you, sir.

@Dr. Ken - Good Catch. Mental note made...

Clear white flag = Bad
White "W" flag = Good.

does anyone think the Blue Jays are dead because they are down 0-2?

As Ron Darling put it, they arent just down 0-2, they're down 0-2 after firing both the Lester and Arrieta bullets.


But I agree. Not over.

NL East. Mets blow. Cubs are going to take over this series.

yes
