I am. I much prefer the players on the Rockies over the Brewers, and basing just on sheer enjoyment of watching a team play, I like the Rockies much more. Joe and Bud Black are friends. Joe and Craig Counsell, are not. Also, I REALLY dislike Ryan Braun

and he gave the ball to Tseng because it was his first MLB Win, how awesome is THAT? A lot of guys would keep that ball for themselves after such a stellar catch. He fits in just fine as a Cub. Fly the W

Jake is out for Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS. That's a nut punch.
Oct 6 has significant history for the Cubs. I, for one, wish we were starting the 5th or 7th. I know, I know, we ended that curse last year,,,but just wish the date was different.
ASIDE OF THAT, savor it....our pitcher's need as much time as possible.

Hey guys! Great game! I didn’t think we would have a homer the way the wind was whipping in. A number of home run balls were blown back into the ballpark. Kudos for Happy to make the rest of us so very happy! Hector’s hustle was impressive too. The board showed that he had only had one previous at bat so when he hit the ball I yelled, “500 baby!”. He looked so happy on first, grinning ear to ear.
I’m not sure what happened to Q. He had such awesome command for the first 3.2 innings and then they got a hit off him and the wheels came off the bus. I wonder if he was thinking no-no. Gotta give it to the bullpen which held the Reds to those 5th inning runs. I’m feeling a little better about them.
I was also impressed by the smart base running today. I loved the double steal. Although we won on the long ball, it was nice to see the team
Play small ball after the first couple tries against the wind. It had died down a bit by the 8th inning.
We spent about an hour after the game in The Park. It was HBCU day. The had a local rap artist sing a couple songs and two marching bands from Clark Atlanta University and Grambling. They were both great!
I have photos but they are too big to post from my phone. I’ll need to post them after making the smaller.

Not really. We have 4 good starters to get us on the way. We’ll be fine and Jake will come back when we need him.
I had asked for predictions at the beginning of the season on # of win's...IIRC I said 97 and Dan said 101. No one else answered, lol. I also wanted to remind everyone that this prophetic baseball faux pas was at the beginning of the season,, Cardinal's basically trolling themselves. Look closely at the baseball...because it's Cubs

They're all good but Jake was the only one I considered automatic. Lester has been pitching like hot garbage. Q is untested in the playoffs. Hendricks doesn't go deep into games which means we have to use our awful pen.

I'm hoping he was thinking this game doesn't actually matter...save it for the playoffs. I'll have to check the recap, since I wasn't able to see it.
Congrat's to KB~ becomes the 1st Cubs player EVER to play 150 games in each of 1st 3 MLB seasons!
STL eliminated the Brewers ~
Do we want to face a full on healthy Max or one who's closer to Jake's current hammy situation? Guess we are gonna find out
WASHINGTON -- Nationals ace Max Scherzer has been pulled from his start against Pittsburgh because of an apparent injury to his right leg.
The NL East champions didn't provide immediate word on the extent of Scherzer's condition Saturday night.
Appears to be a hamstring cramp
