Would it be safe to say that outside of San Fran and diehard Cubs haters, a lot of baseball fans have a little soft spot in their heart for the Cubs.

No

Add all Cardinal fans to your list.

No

Sox fans qualify as diehard Cubs haters, and the feeling's mutual.

Bum made Rizzo look silly. That's hard to do

dinner finished... caught up on dvr.... cubs 3-1 absolutely have g'ants in a hole. scoring 2+ run has proven to be almost an insurmountable obstacle

 

[stanford the manford]

having pagan replaced by blanco is an issue.. blanco is weak at best and coming off injury, i can't remember when he's been in a meanigful game

 

[ElTexan]

Why is Soler in LF and Zobrist in RF... has Zo even played RF once this year?

Not that Pagan is a big loss, but Blanco has had a complete shitshow of a season. I understand Boch wanted the lefty over the righty, but I still would have preferred Girkys out there over Blanco.

its gorkys.. and pagan has been hitting well. gorkys is right handed hitter and bochy is strickly righty-lefty on his match ups......

both are better defensive alternatives than pagan, neither can generate the same offense - which is the issue

ok.. i know it's fox and they hate sf, but would a compliment for nice play once and a while kill 'em? craw's dug a few out tonight and it's ok to acknowledge without saying how great russell is.. we know that - addison is perennial all-star

even though they were talking about Bumgarner almost nonstop?










Every fanbase seems to cry about announcers talking about opposing teams.

no why i would have pulled bum for nunez.... madison is bochy's best chance to keep it shut down

bum's a media superstar - he's their golden boy

crawford's defense isn't chopped liver

This is far from over. It's the Giants

 

[navamind]

Arrieta hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was in 2014-15. He's been a bit up and down since the end of May.

we're a little sensitive given they've dealt joe (i fuck'n hate the giants) buck to us every previous post season

 

[stanford the manford]

line's starting to move, still curious who's bochy's going to on the bump

 

[ElTexan]

Grimm? Fucking Grimm? Don't worry, Giants, you'll get a couple of runs more yet.
