Familia leaves a hanging piece of something over the plate & there goes the ballgame. The game lived up to the hype, too bad Noah couldn't go a bit further, but maybe Terry was remembering Harvey from last year. Now, the G-Men may get served by the Cubbies.... That Gillaspie homer erased the lousy second half SF had. I was sitting there saying to myself that something had to give and BOOM!!! Bye, Bye, Baby! Da Bum does it again. Chicago bound.

kingzoso Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 As much as I do not want the Chicago Cubs to make it to, much less win the 2016 World Series, I do want them to defeat the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series. I absolutely do not want to see the Giants in the World Series. Since about 2011, the Giants have really been the team that seems to dominate the National League, in my opinion, just slightly over the Saint Louis Cardinals. More World Series wins but not as much as 5 consecutive years in the Post-Season as the Cardinals (almost 6 but I am not a sore loser and neither are the Cardinals - and I am already over that fact). I am and will be rooting for the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians to make it to the American League Championship with the Rangers making it to the 2016 World Series and winning it over whoever is their opponent. (Not that I like them either, but I am hoping the Rangers end up playing the Washington Nationals in the World Series, and again, with the Texas Rangers as the last team standing). Go Rangers!!!

Tonight's game could be close or it could be a 9 to 8 game, but I'm going to lean with pitcher's duel. Whoever wins will get eaten alive by the Cubs anyway.... Even those close to him are second guessing his decision including Zach Britton himself all be it he did not do it in a disrespectful tone. I thought for sure when they had men on 1st and 3rd and O'Day had earlier put out the fire they were going to Zach. He would have bought us another shot with the heart of our order due up. Machado, Davis and Schoop. But that did not happen. In comes dick head Jiminez and there goes our season. I do not want to see that fucker back in an Orioles uniform. Keep Guasman and Tillman and dump Jiminez and Miley who is likely history anyway as he was a rental. If only they had kept Miguel Gonzalez who pitched well for the White Sox. Another mistake. This GM had best take us forward and not backward. That means signing Wieters, who I understand has already commited to staying in Baltimore? Signing Trumbo, or someone that has power like he does? And getting a top notch starter to go with Gausman and Tillman and Dylan Bundy who is going to be a good one also. If they can keep Trumbo and add a speedy type, likely Born is too old now to justify keeping him? But if he has a year left in him I am fine with that also They are very close.

I'd say that the Giants' confidence is way up after sweeping L.A. and then winning in New York. The Cubs may be a little worried. GO NATIONALS!!!

paul carruthers Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Home Run Derby so far in Cleveland tonight--don't know if I was expecting that or the hurt Toronto put on Texas earlier. I guess if the Rangers find themselves in too deep a hole, they may try throwing something past Jose Bautista's ear--who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Zepscoda must be sick. I want Texas to beat those bastards. I did not watch any of it. Too pissed off that we let them off the hook. If Bourn had caught that fucking ball we would have won also. So its not all on Buck. Cleveland now has the Red Sox nation worried. I suspected the Indians would be trouble. Now in a best of 5 every game become magnified. But not like ours was. We deserved better than to get eliminated in one fucking game after playing 162. Are you kidding me? WE beat the SF Giants in their own house. We beat alot of very good teams. By the way, that assshole that threw the beer can at Kim has been caught and has a court date. The Canadiens have to be praised for that. Buck and our GM say they are committed to getting us back to the playoffs. I know the owner has a huge part in this. Will he spend? We need to sign Matt Wieters and hopefully Mark Trumbo. If that happens we should be a force next year but we know there is one huge must. Get rid of Jiminez for Gods sake and get a quality starter to compliment Tillman, Gausman and Bundy. I say Gausman will be the ace of this staff next year. Watch our for him! I want them to not only sign those two guys and get a pitcher, but to add a guy like Bourn who is younger. A speedy outfielder. They have now said Adam Jones will NOT be the lead off guy. So that speaks volumes abut their plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 2 possibly great games on later--Indians/Sawx and the Dodgers and Nats; a lot of flipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Dodgers-Nats was definitely worth watching. Giants-Cubs should be a good one, too...Cueto vs. Lester. Both ALDS are turning into duds. Could both be three game sweeps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hey Rick: I am actually hoping that the Chicago Cubs win the NLDS against the San Francisco Giants. That is how much I really hate the Giants. However, if the Cubs do win, I will be rooting for either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Washington Nationals, preferably the Nationals as I dislike them less then I do the Dodgers. If the Texas Rangers fall to the Toronto Blue Jays, I will be rooting for the Cleveland Indians to win the 2016 World Series. Yes, an American League team. Respond or not, I just wanted to say what I just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Cubs win! Great pitchers duel tonight. Just one little mistake by Cueto to Baez was the difference. Playoff baseball at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well, I guess America can breath easier now--the Cubs won. Joe Maddon saving Arrieta for Game 3 against the Mad Bum, I'm wondering if that will pay off. I'm also wondering how the Nats got to be feeling right now--given their penchant for gagging in October, but a win tomorrow would put things even; go Dodgers in any event...

Bum cant pitch unless it goes to game 4 and I say that never happens. The Cubs should kill them today. The door is wide open for the Cubs with the sudden and unexpected fate of the Red Sox. If Cleveland does complete this we should have known Francona would know how to beat his old team if anyone could. Only a very good Dodgers bullpen is in the way of the Cubbies ending this 100 year drought. How can you not cheer for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
