This is a tough one as far as rooting goes.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 07 2015 03:57 AM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

I'm rooting for Pittsburgh.

YAY! Pirates!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 07 2015 06:23 AM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

I can barely remember Matt Morris

Gwreck Oct 07 2015 06:50 AM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

I think from a self-interest perspective, we root for the Cubs in this game. Better potential NLCS matchup for the Mets than the Pirates.

Lefty Specialist Oct 07 2015 08:26 AM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Sandy Koufax with a 10 WAR. Um, wow.

Edgy MD Oct 07 2015 06:58 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

So, this Kyle Scwarber character is a player, huh?

HahnSolo Oct 07 2015 07:09 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Ripken seems so out of touch with the modern game. Now I hope the Nationals hire him.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 07:19 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Jeez, name another guy who went from career mediocrity to something like this goddamn monster I'm watching on the mound right now. Even our own RA Dickey wasn't as untouchable as Arrieta's been.

eww, that plate is getting plenty wide.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 07:45 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Yikes, strike zone continues to bloat. That home plate ump wants to be there as badly as Keith during extra innings.

Frayed Knot Oct 07 2015 07:53 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Stop booing Pirates fans, you need the baserunners.

Cubs say IN YOUR FACE HOME CROWD!!!!

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 07:56 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Huge DP, man. Pretty good game.

Frayed Knot Oct 07 2015 07:57 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

BAM! That was probably their last best chance. Pirates didn't have to tie it up just then but they needed something.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 08:05 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Sean Rodriguez :: Criss Angel :: Dave Navarro I bet he wears those fancy man jeans with sequins on the back pockets.

Zvon Oct 07 2015 08:09 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

If that was intentional, it was perfect. Warnings have been issued. Benches empty. Some squabbling going on. Settles down. And Arreita steals 2nd! haha.

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Pirates Fans Given Instructions on How to Annoy Cubs Pitcher Jake Arrieta [url]http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2577020-pirates-fans-given-instructions-on-how-to-annoy-cubs-pitcher-jake-arrieta?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=programming-national

Edgy MD Oct 07 2015 08:32 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

The implication is that the strategy will be mostly futile, considering they were expecting Arrieta to go at least six.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 08:33 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Even the authors of that lame instruction sheet knew he was going to throw a complete game.

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 08:36 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Looking at the mlb box score and the first line below the pitcher's stats reads: Game scores: Arietta 82, Cole 42 WTF is this?

I love the little kid behind the plate who is imitating all Pirate players movements.

Edgy MD Oct 07 2015 08:45 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

That kid has sadly cursed his team. Hey, Bucfans... stop heading to the exits. Don't be like Yankee fans!

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 08:47 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Little man's been the Bucs' best player.

I'm Sterling Marte. I have professional pride.

How about that play. TBS already has the really sad & heavy music cued up.

Zvon Oct 07 2015 08:55 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Ha, Cervelli. Good. GRATZ CUBBIES!!!!!

A Boy Named Seo Oct 07 2015 08:57 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

That monster looks like he could be this year's Bumgarner.

Fman99 Oct 07 2015 09:00 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

Buh bye Cubs. Another winter of 108 year old Chicago natives wondering what the trophy looks like right before they keel over into their pizza-themed casseroles.

Frayed Knot Oct 07 2015 09:02 PM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Oct 08 2015 07:56 AM

On Tuesday October 14, 2003, the Cubs had a 3 games to 2 lead and a 3-0 lead with one out in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the NLCS. Then a pop-up near the stands wasn't caught by Moises Alou. [u:15gjygy3]12 pitches later[/u:15gjygy3] (20 if you include 2 IWs) 8 runs were scored and the Cubs went on to lose the game. They lost the next night too and then the next six post-season games that they played. Tonight breaks the streak of eight consecutive playoff losses.

Arrietta has stupid jock CAHNfidence. He's going to be hard to stop.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 08 2015 08:52 AM Re: NL WC Playoff IGT - Cubs @ Pirates

He'd probably only get one start in the Division Series, right? He won't be able to pitch until Game 3.
