World Series Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Indians

[Gopherfan84]

Oh, he got that Chuck Knoblauch's disease?

Then i understand a little bit why radio-dude thought it would be bush, but he's still wrong.

That name...

With the monkey off their back, I like the Cubs in 4.

Sorry bro...Did he get the yips before leaving Minnesota? I don't recall exactly, I just remember him more as a yankee

Fuck that. If teams are going to start taking easy on opponents with disabilities, I'm gonna have the Indians sign twenty-five special Olympians and win a World Series.

In fact, I think baserunners should take ridiculous leads, stand there flat-footed, point at Lester and openly mock him.

It's more the circumstances of how he left here, demanding a trade to the Yankees, that made his name an expletive around here despite his ROTY season in 1991 when we won the greatest WS of all-time. His return to the Metrodump with the Yankees was greeted by thrown hot dogs on dollar dog night that caused a couple of delays.

Shit, they might get hit in the face with a toss if they did that

Ah, I recall now...the yips were god's punishment on him for leaving

Epstein, Maddon, and Lester are playing a long con on all of MLB.
It's going to be bottom 8 tonight, Cubs up by one, runner on, two outs, runner gets a tremendous lead, and Lester is going to step off and sidearm a laser to Rizzo's right knee and throw the runner out to end the inning and preserve the lead. Boom. #longcon

Better still. Lester's out there trying to complete the game, and with 2 outs in the 9th a reprise of this happens

Sorry. Miracles don't happen, especially to the Cubs lol

 

[ElTexan]

Predictions:
Cubs in 5.
Heyward a hero in one game (game 4?).
Schwarby move absolutely falls flat.
Bryant makes two errors.
Arrieta pitches a 3-hit win.
Rondon gives up no hits, no walks.
Addison Russell WSMVP.
Cubs catchers throw out four guys on bases.

Ha ha. But no way are the Indians that stupid, and no way Chapman is on the bench in the 9th.
Hell, even is Lester was throwing a perfect game, a runner gets on? Chapman is coming in.

Game 4, NLDS

Lester did pick a guy off in the 2014 post season...

 

[ElTexan]

Oh. And the Wrigley ivy will get involved in a critical play.

 

[phantomfoul88]

Pulling for the Indians. Can't stand 50% of the phony so called Cubs fans.

Probably more to do with Matheny having Wong in the WS with his 60ish career plate appearances. That said, I give Lester the benefit of the doubt with most things. Very few players I would put on the mound before him.

I think this is going to be a swingy series. Lots of lopsided games but maybe a long series and 1 or 2 good games.

 

[The Q]

Considering the team can't even handle something as simple as groundskeeping for its field, anything with the ivy should be held against the Cubs.

 

[bksballer89]

Heyward benched again

 

[The Derski]

Kind of have a feeling Schwarber goes yard tonight.
