    Chapman???

    Taking out Kendricks one batter too soon is going to be costly.

    No one is invincible when you treat them like something they aren't. Lester was cruising.

    Funny that this series is going to end up being determined by whichever team's non-trusted bullpen guys is less bad.

He's got the goatee, wears the hoodie, wears his hat backwards at times, etc., etc. No doubt about it. He's hipper than those old tobacco-stained wretches in double-knits Sansabelt slacks. He's a good manager, but people really go overboard on the guy.

    Uneffingbelievably great for baseball.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    My advice to the city of Chicago is to start drinking heavily.

    A World Series that is beating Sunday Night Football and having the best ratings in years. Great for the game.

    Chapman waited until the game was tied before he threw his first slider.

    This is the last test to see if the Cubs are bigger than the curse.
