Should be a good series.

I expect it to go five games.

We'll see how it goes tonight. I feel good about the Cubs chances of course but they are only 4-3 against the Giants this year. Really important that they win the first two in Wrigley. Cueto vs Lester tonight, hell of a pitching match up.

That actually was a pretty good game last night despite the low score. For me the play of the game was when the Cubs set up that weird pick-off play. Ross was so excited at making the throw to first for the out that he started to leave the field with only 2 outs.





And of course the game-winning homer by the Cubs excellent shortstop Biaz.

Can't wait for tonight's game. These are definitely two teams capable of beating each other in any given game.

Aargh! I can tell nobody is actually reading this thread. Baez is the 2nd baseman. And now the Giants have back to back doubles.

Why is this thread "official", what if I don't want to participate in an official capacity.. and why name a thread a thread, isn't that redundant?




(yeah, i'm bored)

I'm watching it on DVR delay right now because I've been at Gonzaga U for the scrimmage. So for spoiler avoidance, I'll have to see y'all later.

Maybe there is an unofficial posting area that you could participate in?

That was a blatant misuse of instant replay at 2nd base on that double. It wasn't intended to review calls like that. complete bullshit (and not, I don't have a dog in this fight)

Former Red gets the win and former Red gets the save. Former Cub gets the loss.

Giants take out our starter (not on purpose) and our reliever comes in and hits a home run and pitches great. First post-season home run by a Cubs reliever since 1924. Of course we really didn't have a lot of post-season games since 1924, but anyway...

Cubs up 2-0 and get to face Bumgarner in San Fran. Which is why it was so important that they win the first two games in Wrigley. Jake Arrieta is no slouch though.

Not looking good for the Giants, but we've been here before and did things the hard way.

If we don't get past the Cubs, no one will.
