God damn did the Cubs save Maddon's ass. This would have been a real painful offseason for him otherwise with his bullpen decisions. I can't believe he used Chapman last night and I extra can't believe he sent Chapman back out for the ninth when the guy was mostly throwing 88 mph sliders to close the 8th.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

Here it is, starting at 0:58. His weird little laughing throw is great. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6310634...ramatic-game-7Originally posted by mjl View PostIn the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

It's true, I don't think Chicago would've ever forgiven him if they'd lost. The Cubs won that game despite Maddon's completely inexplicable decisions.Originally posted by mjl View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Happy for all you legitimate Cub fans who've suffered through the years, the bandwagon jumpers, not so much.

that's awesome ... that's that feeling of "I hope they hit this one to me ... there it is!"Originally posted by mjl View Post
Congrats cubs fans!!!It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

congrats to Cubs:
I think the better team won.... for this year
Hopefully -we will get Brantly ,Carrasco and Salazar Back and get back in next year.
It was a great game and give our guys credited for Grinding and getting back in the game. Great Hustle by Kipnis to score from second on the Wild Pitch.
I was shock to see Miller have such a poor outing I thought he would be the difference but I guess you have to give the Cubs hitters credit for getting hot from Middle of Game5 On. That was the Big difference. They won it more then we lost it. We needed to score in the ninth when it seem like we had all the Big Mo going our way.Last edited by hacko; 11-03-2016, 02:17 PM.Comment
