Series Thread: NLCS: Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets

Murphy is the new Beltran. He is making himself some $ this postseason.

Listen I get Mets fans excitement but the reason your team is in the playoffs is because the NL East was historically bad. For all the talk of added players and late season pushes the truth us that AFTER the additions the Mets were still 1-6 vs playoff teams. You guys took advantage of playing in a crap division, congrats. In baseball anything can happen so I won't say you can't win this series but it would shock me if this even made it passed 5 games

Just started reading this thread from the beginning and I can say that I find the first 3 pages quite comical! But the thing that makes me laugh the most is this post because of how accurate the very last sentence was. Ha!

Maybe. The difference in the staffs is negligible but the difference in offensive firepower is huge. The Dodgers pitchers could pitch well and still give up 3 or 4 runs. The same is not true on the other side.

FIFY

Glad it didn't decide the outcome though

Amen.

I would love for the guy to stick around. They were saying he's expendable because Dilson Herrera is ready to step in at second, but I'm not sure I agree with that. He didn't exactly light Queens on fire in the oppts he had this summer.

We're talking about the Cubs not your mom

Gotta love his enthusiasm.

I know it's not over, but if they came back from this deficit against this pitching staff, it would trump that 04 ALCS by a mile

Riz is a really good player and a perfect leader for the Cubs. Should be a great 10 yrs.

They're also shooting for the Theo Epstein angle too...

Spoiler

....not that there's anything wrong with that...lol

burn?

The Mets have some pop...I don't expect the Mets to give up 6+ runs at all in this series. If they do at most it will be one game.....not 3 games as St. Louis did. You need to be honest with yourself and realize the Mets has a much better rotation than St. Louis so runs will be harder to come by for Chicago

lmao

Agreed, you guys are set for a good run. I just hope it starts next year at the earliest.

Let's talk about what the Cubs have done this series.

Pretty much nothing, like you predicted. Everybody was claiming they would be scoring ten runs a game, but the reality is their offense isn't that much better than NY's

The Mets pitching staff is just too good
