The wind was a bit too much for Posey's bid to tie it off Chapman.

Eh not really. I live downtown. I work in the south suburbs.

I'm surrounded by Sox fans. Only Cubs fans in my life are pure strangers that I run into and they're all giant douchers.

I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Chicago dumbfuck. Learn how to read. I said I live downtown. I didn't say I live in englewood.

I also said I work in the south suburbs. I didn't say I work in the "south side chicago"

You are bringing dumb and stupid small-town Ohio trash to a whole new level.

They are annoying as fuck at GABP but when I went to last year's ASG I was seated right next to a guy that knew his stuff about baseball and was like the immediate best friend type...was shocked he was a Cubs guy from Chicago.

I can go watch the Reds play in PNC or wherever and cheer them on but I don't feel right going into another fan bases' place and being an ass. I'll let Cubs fans be the best at that.

I had 2 Cub fans as roommates from Chicago. They are great fans, and they hate that half their fan base is basically people who have moved to the city and adopted them as the trendy/social thing to do.

I hate the slide into 2nd where you go in full speed and leave base for a moment and replay drills you.

This being said Baez didn't bust it out of the box so it's on him

Yeah, I hate that too. WHen ya get it down to super slow mow many guys, especially on SB's, come off contact.

I am for the replay in getting things right, but it just has taken something away from the game.

Carlos Ruiz just made the GM and Dave Roberts look really smart.

The pace of these games is brutal. Regulation games should not be taking 4 hours.

+1. The games should start at 7 if they are going to allow the pace to be that slow.

Dodgers pitcher was taking 30-35 seconds with no one on base. He was killing Bob Costas

That is always what kills me about the post season and kills my interest.

Pedro Baez comes in, throws 1 pitch, hits a guy (with the bases loaded), and gets pulled.

Just read that Kershaw has exited playoff games with 22 runners on base, his pen has allowed 15 of those runners to score. That's pathetic.

Just now watched the DVR'd Cubs/Giants game 3....that Gillaspie triple off of Chapman is going to be hard to top. That ball was drilled and 40,000 gasped during the ball's flight and when it hit just beyond the outstretched Almora...40,000 simultaneously erupted and then again once Posey score erupted again...and a great great call on the entire play.
