Welp, tomorrow's a must win for the Dodgers if they want to make a series of this. Gotta win at least one on the road.

Cubs are a team of destiny

Vito, shut your whore mouth. :)

Two pitchers hitting home runs including a relief pitcher, killing the Even Year Giants, pinch hit grand slam, Javier Baez transforming into an unbelievably good hitter.

Seems pretty good to me.

To be fair, Baez has had a great year. He cut his strikeout rate in half.

It's pretty good, but you know better than to use the D word.

Its not destiny. They are the best defensive team, the best pitching team and top 5 offense in the MLB.

And they have the best manager in baseball.

It's really that simple. It's not hard math.

Dodgers really do need to win tomorrow to have any sort of a shot here. Got their ace on the hill...lose tomorrow and they may well get swept. The Jays would have a better shot of climbing out of a 0-2 hole than the Dodgers, I feel.

It <s>Alberto Del Rio</s> the Chicago Cubs' destiny to win the <s>Royal Rumble match</s> World Series

Anyone who second guesses Roberts for the moves he makes, is just retarded. He made all the right moves. The seconds strike, Blanton throw a beach ball over the plate that Montero just plain missed on a HR hack. Next pitch. Same pitch thrown by Blanton. Montero didnt miss that one. Thats all on Blanton.

You cant throw a shit slider and then come back with a shit slider and expect Montero not to put the 2nd one in the stands like that. Just a bum pitching effort from Blanton.

yeah but he probably should have at least had his closer warming up in the pen to shut down what might have been a huge rally.

Not really. Blanton has been brilliant for them. Who knew Blanton would go in there and make two horrible pitches. Two horrible sliders. Montero didnt miss the second one. That simple.

Joe Blanton? really? The dude has been garbage for years. It feels like Blanton has been in the league for 25 years and sucked for no less than 21 of them.

Lose lose for Roberts. If he goes to a lefty, Maddon pulls back Montero and up comes Contreas. Jensen isn't ready after a long outing. Maybe he should've brought in one of his late inning relievers. But Blanton had a 158 ERA+. He's been great. The Cubs just won that matchup is all.

80 innings of good ball in a 12 year career that says otherwise is an awfully small sample size.

D-Backs name Mike Hazen as GM.

Agreed. However, the last 80 innings plus last year were as a reliever. Granted it works for him now that he's limited to facing 3 batters a night, but as a reliever, he's been stellar. And that's the context they were using him in.

Joe Buck still rooting for Dodgers. V hasppy that A Gon hit a solo HR

Kershaw dealing tonight. I'll say that much. Go Cubbies!

okay, time to pinch run for Kershaw

lmao

damn Baez could have made it to 3rd easily

doesn't matter, Kerslaw is a mortal.
