There is just so much wrong with this post. 4 of the 5 most insufferable fanbases are eliminated: NYY, NYM, Boston, Rangers... You shot your wad a bit early on the Cubs.
Same deal with Price. Has to be between the ears, although Kershaw deserved a better outcome his last start -- he pitched pretty well, but Roberts left him in too long and the bullpen **** the bed.
Mentally he probably overthinks it. It's funny because Kershaw in innings 1-6 in the postseason is as elite as ever. 7th or later he has a crazy ERA.
There needs to be limits on how many pitchers can be used in an inning. This is ridiculous. 6 pitchers in an inning? And people wonder why baseball is losing popularity.
Sometimes you gamble and sometimes Miguel Montero hits a grand slam & Fowler after that. Cuck the Fubs.
If only Miller hadn't turned down our offer in favor of the Yankees. Between him and Cole Hamels, I think Astros would have won the WS last year and been in the playoffs this year. I'm happy for the Indians, especially given how Lucroy refused to go there and is now sitting at home when he could be on the cusp of the World Series.
I'd be extra happy with an Indians/Dodgers Series. No rangers, no Blue Jays (other than them sweeping the rangers, I just don't like them), no cubs...I couldn't ask for more (if it can't be the Astros).
Cubs: Prefer they lose so they don't one up the Astros youth movement, and also, epic collapse is just pure entertainment. Indians: Don't really want to see Lindor get there before Correa, but don't care too much. Plus like the Cubs, watching them crash and burn again would be popcorn. LeBron took some of the fun away, but would still good times. Dodgers: Don't mind them winning. Kershaw ok with me. Blue Jays: I don't have anything against the Bluejays either. so for me Dodgers vs. Bluejays is ideal even if I don't have anyone to roost against. Reckon I'm rooting for curses.
Cubs will be burning tonight. The only downside to having an ace is when they lose. Then you feel vulnerable. Arrieta looked unhittable early this year.
He hasn't been very good second half of the year. Kershaw also is starting to look like Kershaw. The cubs were by far the best team in the regular season, but pitching can really change that quickly. What if the astros could have got zobrist and lester we would probably be in the playoffs. Crane needs to open the wallet.
