Go Cubs, but I won't feel as crushed if they lose to the Dodgers than if they lost to Dusty Baker and the Washington gently caress Daniel Murphies

I've pretty much already written this game off: Quintana is pitching on short rest even if you consider his relief appearance brief enough to be considered a side session, the bullpen is loving cooked, Kershaw is good and the Cubs bats have been cold baring moments of pure baseball chaos.

Hopefully it's at least entertaining. I'm watching with a Dodgers fan so try not to embarrass me too much Cubs :munch:

So the NLCS gets the crappy TBS broadcast and the ALCS gets the crappy Joe Buck broadcast.

Baseball is the worst.

Jay has reverse splits and is better against lefties. Rizzo is an always-start no matter what. Schwarber I have no idea.

against a righty he would've struck out on two pitches instead of three.

For a catcher Contreras complains about the strike zone a lot.
