World champion Chicago Cubs thread. (Chicago is titletown)

[weller3377]

I may vomit I'm so nervous

[Tiduwho]

The camera angle is fucking horrible for the Cubs game. What in the hell is that position? Worst I've ever seen.

Where is the camera located? Zoomed in from across the street on a rooftop???

[Tiduwho]

You can't see where the pitch is!!! This top down angle is horrible!!! It needs to be level so you can see balls and strikes. Holy shit this is going to drive me bonkers.

[BotheLaneFan]

We gotta get to their bullpen as early as we possibly can every game.

[BotheLaneFan]

That pick off play was amazing.

[swordo84]

Lovin' that pickoff play. Well constructed, well executed.

[BotheLaneFan]

This ump is interesting.

[BotheLaneFan]

God damn it.

[weller3377]

Ugh...just can't hit the ball

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm not doing well.

[Tiduwho]

I'm doing pretty good.


Javy!!!!!!!!

[BotheLaneFan]

Navy!!!!

[Tiduwho]

Cubs win!!!!


Javy!!!!

Baez is the most exciting player in baseball, not the best, and he's just unbelievable to watch. I loved his game on the HR "I forgot about the wind!"

[DMBCardinal]

This was a huge win. I figured the bats would come out a little slow after the layoff. Great game by Lester, and Javy is amazing.

Completely agree. He applies tags and avoids them like no player I can remember.

[weller3377]

Hammered, happy! Let's get another one tomorrow.

[BotheLaneFan]

This makes game three a lot easier to deal with win or lose.

[smb41]

Was at the game last night - unbelievable atmosphere, as expected. Should be a fun game 3.

[weller3377]

I hope we rock the shit outta Bum

[BotheLaneFan]

Any word on Hendricks yet?

[weller3377]

All I heard was X-rays showed nothing and they will continue to observe. He sounded like he was good to go and wouldn't miss a start

[TapNorris]

I hope they look at Bumgarner all night long tomorrow.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Hendricks is fine just a bruise and a precautionary early pull for the future. Thankfully that turned out right with Woods HR and pitching. I just hope Arrieta doesn't implode and at least give the Cubs a chance vs one of the best post season pitchers of all time.

[BotheLaneFan]

If we win this game, then it's icing on the cake. We gotta focus all of our efforts on tomorrow.

That's not how this team works. They are not even thinking about Game 4.

IF the Cubs are to make it to the World Series, who would you rather play (provided Cleveland moves on)?

[BotheLaneFan]

Toronto.

Bit premature, but I'd rather play Cleveland. I'm scared shitless of the Dodgers though. That team has flown under the radar all season long.

Definitely, I'm just making conversation. I'd much rather avoid Toronto's hot bats and play Cleveland.
