Prediction: Cubs win games 2,3,5

Predictions?

 

[The Derski]

I have a feeling this game will overlap the other NLDS by like three innings and we'll all have to wait til the 4th inning to even start watching it.

7 pitch top of the first? Damn

 

[mr.hockey4242]

The Cubs hitters look like fucking ass

Swing at the same pitch everytime

 

[BrockForBroglio]

Third base umpire Diaz just gift wrapped this inning for the Cubs.

 

[Omar 382]

Fuck the Nats

Because Ron Darling says so?
It was close for sure but they still had 2 2 out hits

I don't need to listen to Darling to know that that ball was foul. Turned the inning into something that should have happened. Diaz is right up there with Hernandez and Bucknor.

This series thread is as sad as the Nats

tough one for Strasburg... that was probably the best he's ever looked. Hendricks continues to pitch well in the postseason.

There wasn't a good angle to see it. The one Darling was criticizing the for was a terrible angle to show where the ball was. It very well could've been in, and the umpires had a much better look then we did.

The Nats are just like the Caps ....chokers when it counts ..... they couldn't beat a T-ball team in October.

Never mind him he's a hater...if Yadier hit it he'd think it's a good call

 

[skinzfan]

IMO no way the Nats can beat the Cubs 3 out of 4. Series over in 4.

It's the playoff series thread equivalent of the LA Chargers' "fanbase"

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I’m liking the Cubs today, too.

I think they’re the best team in the NL right now.

What up, Omar?

 

[Omar 382]

What up, Omar?

Not much. On a medical leave of absence from Delaware. Basically, I was going through the motions, and then I had to get surgery (this Tuesday), so I just took the leave. I'm hoping I get Perc's and not Vicodin.

My roommate has 16 oz. Rolling Rock beers. I am not a fan of beer by any means, but alcohol is alcohol. You may remember them from the film "The Deer Hunter."

By the way, I voted for the Tribe to win the WS (obviously, I don't care who wins, provided it's not the Nats, but the Indians are my prediction to win it).

I'm assuming you are drunk considering you asked what's going on with me.
