Series Thread: NLCS: Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets

[bksballer89]

There is no way the Cubs can win this series.

Mets are just hands down the better team

Same here in Brooklyn for Nets games. I think upper deck is where to be....those are where the real fans of team and sport are

Luckily it's in really scarce spots(usually penalty box area and weeknight games) for wild games because Minnesota takes its hockey so serious. But in those spots people will look at you like your the crazy one for getting loud. It's sad.

Metrodome was always loud for twins games. Almost impossible to go for social environment there lol.

Never been to a vikes or wolves playoff game.

So after a great LDS, both LCS series can be finish tomorrow. Rather disappointing to say the least

That's the worst part. World Series don't start till next week regardless.

Thing is though both series can get very interesting if Jays/Cubs win tomorrow with the weaker pitching match ups.

Price, Lester and arrieta all waiting to force game 7s

It's hard to beat great pitching. All 3 starters were excellent.

 

[ElTexan]

Totally disagree - you have to block that pitch. You have to get the K. He did his job

Well, you're a dummy dumb, then.
You don't roll three pitches when the GO AHEAD RUN is on third... especially when he was up 0-2 in that count, I think??? Seriously, you don't do that.

Pretty bold prediction when they are down 3 games to none in a 7 game series.

sooooo are they gonna blame Bartman for this one too. Now Cub fans the redsox broke their streak by over coming a 0-3 deficit in the ALCS. So there's hope.

The 2010-2014 Giants say hello, welcome to our club. Mets are gonna beat the Royals.

No I'm not dumb. You saw what happened the next inning when Grimm pitched to Cespedes. He didn't throw sliders in the dirt and gave up the Shwarber ball. Montero has to block that damn pitch.

2004 Yankees didn't have the Mets pitching. Also, the billy goat is still in command.

Cahill doesn't throw 98. He isn't gonna strike the guy out with a fastball.

Now as good as they are they still have to execute. They have in this series.

I think this will be a good series. Almost a throwback to the 80s

Agree, I don't expect the Mets to dominate (although it's possible). 6-7 games.

Royals have a Cueto problem. Do they march him out against an NL team that only hits like .230 against him or do they just pull the plug on him?

They didn't bring him in to just drop him from the rotation. They're gonna obviously pitch him, but with a short leash

Yeah, thats the big thing the really makes predicting the World Series hard. This years Royals team is quite a bit better than last year's team imo but Cueto can totally swing the whole series. The Mets also might be better than the Giants last year.

Sidenote - what are the odds that the Cubs just need to come back from 0-3 to break their curse?

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Cueto has likely lost a big chunk of money these last two months

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Or just made it easier for the Yankees
