[SlinkyRedfoot]

Who is this dude starting all these MLB threads, and who's that broad in his avi?

 

[The Oldtimer]

Cubs in a sweep

On paper, yes.

 

[Ojb81]

On paper, yes.

don't kill my buzz, grampa

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Cubs in 5. They didn't look great against San Fran and they still won that series 3-1.

 

[JohnU]

Kershaw does not have to throw the opener but he needs to pitch one of the first 2 games.
Like last year, we don't have a lot of history on how Wrigley plays at this time of year, especially at night.

Could be, it has long hairy tentacles and reaches and strangles players. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Dodgers outscored them 20-6 the last time they faced them in the NLDS.

 

[tducey]

Dodgers in 6.

 

[ElTexan]

Lefty woes

 

[calsnowskier]

Will Jensen even be available for game 1? Will the dogs have to essentially punt this game?

 

[trojanfight]

I don't know if it's just a postseason slump but the cubs batting average outside of Bryant and Baez are pretty poor. Several batters with a .067 of something like that. Other than those 2 I don't think there is a batter over .200. Maybe they get it going against the Dodgers but possibly pitching around Bryant could be a strategy.

Hmmmm.

Maybe the fact that they faced Bum, Cueto and Moore in 3 of their last 4 games has something to do with that?


Nah. That can't be it.

He probably won't but if the Dodgers can take Game 1 then is there any real reason to throw Kershaw back out there Game 2 after the NLDS he's had? Maeda needs to step up.

IF the dogs can take game, than I fear the end is nigh...

LHP Zastryzny in, La Stella out.

Understatement of the year. Kenta needs to shake off the NLDS and pitch the way we all know he can. He's overdue for a good game.

 

[stanford the manford]

dodgers are a different team when facing lhp. roberts seems to have turned abound the locker room has has eliminated the bone headed decisions of mattingly. should be a close series

 

[moxie]

Can't believe I have to depend on the Cubs


FUCK THE DODGERS.
