If he wins the game today, it will go a long way in Cubs fans feeling better about the trade. If he loses, obviously the opposite. He had had a habit of underperforming in big situations, so I have to temper my enthusiasm, even though he has had great success VS the Brewers.

today is a nearly meaningless game, despite the score trying to pump it up

It's a huge game. Having home field advantage and not having to play an elimination tomorrow is a big deal.

Forgive Dolphin for not understanding the importance of a big game. He has had to watch the pathetic White Sox the last dozen years.

I heard for a very long time in this section that the playoffs are based on luck with no positional seeding being superior.

I disagree with GD. If they win today, they not only have home field, but get their players 2 days rest, which would be helpful, especially for the bullpen.

Actually, I agree with GD. If they win today, they not only have home field, but get their players 2 days rest, which would be helpful, especially for the bullpen.


That means you disagree

Priceless.
