POLL Cubs/Rox - NL Wild Card

[Mike A. S.]

Who ya got winning the game tonight?

 

[Mike A. S.]

Freeland (on short rest) vs Lester.

Cubs have had nearly zero rest since late August. The team is burnt.

True. But in the last few days the Rockies have flown from Denver on Sunday to Los Angeles Monday to Chicago now on Tuesday. (Not that it matters tonight but then also would have to fly to Milwaukee on Thursday if they win tonight!)

It’s a short bus ride to Milwaukee, but it’ll be a long, sad flight back to Denver.

Heart want Rockies, head says Cubbies

 

[Yo Tee]

If the Rockies win this game, I see the Brewers having an easy time getting to the NLCS.

 

[ElTexan]

this game will be won in the first three innings. If the Cubs are hitting at all, they’ll win. If it’s apparent they are not, there’ll be no heroics.

Cubs.

Combine Lester's veteran experience never and Freeland never having pitched on just 3 days rest= a Cubs win IMO.

This the game thread?

Wasn't necessarily intended as that, but sure let's make it that! I'm rooting for the Rockies, but thinking the Cubs will win.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Rockies win if they bunt the ball back to Lester every time.

Rockies SP Kyle Freeland grew up a Rockies fan when he was a kid.

Cool story, because the Rockies probably don't have many players in their history that grew up in the area.

 

[nuraman00]

My prediction was here, just fyi.

#9

 

[podsox]

Run should score

 

[nuraman00]

A ball gets stuck in the ivy, so it's a ground rule double.

Are triples the rarest at Wrigley because of this?

 

[nuraman00]

Run should score

Yup, Arenado had the sac fly.

 

[DJ]

Let's go Cubbies....

 

[podsox]

Talk about an ump taking the bat out of your hand
