So what is the dealio here, I don't get it. Are you a D-backs fan AND a Cubs fan, what is going on.

What do you mean you don't get it? Dave has been a D-Backs/Cubs fan since day 1 just like I've been a D-Backs/A's fan.

It's been that way since before you joined. This can't possibly be news to you.

Cubs fan since 92...you know, before the D'Backs existed.

lol @ The Rockies not making it.

<font color=goldenrod>I am completely numb right now. I can't believe it...two straight years of the EXACT same thing.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Well, at least I won't feel as crappy once the first round ends...because I know full well the Mets wouldn't get past that point.</font>

Word.

DOODGERS GONNA BEAT THE CUUUBBSS

Gogo Philly and Tampa.

LOL, kinda feel the same way as a Yankees fan. I mean yeah it sucks not making the playoffs but the season is pretty much only a week shorter than it has been the past couple years.

CUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIES

Beckett was an oblique strain, may be available game 3, but good chance he wont be able to pitch round 1.

<font color=goldenrod>Some predictions:

<u>DS</u>
Cubs over Dodgers in 3
Phillies over Brewers in 4
Rays over White Sox in 4
Angels over Red Sox in 5

<u>CS</u>
Cubs over Phillies in 6
Angels over Red Sox in 5

<u>WS</u>
Angels over Cubs in 7</font>

I like the Cubs but I hope they lose cause of DaveWadding being such a dickhead. I'm rooting for the Rays to go all the way just to take a dump on MLB

lol, Cubs in 3? Come on, now. I don't think that will happen.

I think the Dodgers can take this series. Will be mad difficult, but we can do it.

And if we don't... LAAAAAAAKE SHOWWWW will win it all.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I was gonna do Cubs in 4 but there always seems to be at least 1 sweep because one team just doesn't show up.

Regardless of the number of games, pretty confident with the overall picks.</font>

I am rooting for the Cubs all the way here. They have to do it.

Pulling for a Brewers/Rays WS

For sure. Definitely rooting for the Brewers and the Rays.

Damn. After the Royals series the Twins weren't going to win that last night. Pretty shitty that it was in Chicago though; Twins won the season series, the location was decided just by a coin flip.

god, I would hate to watch the Brewers in the WS. Everything about them is dull. Thier name, thier city, thier fans, thier team (minus CC), thier state, thier dull symbol. A fucking glove with a ball in it? come on guys

Ryan Braun

Hoping the Red Sox repeat last year's sweep of the Angels. Gonna have a much harder time though. We're gonna need Beckett's postseason dominance, but it's not looking good.

I think the most embarrassing thing about the Brewers is that their stadium is Miller Park. Very overrated beer in my opinion.

The glove and ball logo is actually an m on top of a b (for Milwaukee Brewers). And their newer logo with the M over the piece of barley is one of my personal favorites.

errr, not good for the Cubbies here. and wtf is up with the sound quality here with TBS? I feel like I am watching a house show wrestling event from thr 1980's where you can barely hear the crowd.

is it shit sound or is there literally nobody making noise in that field?

Lou is an idiot...how the fuck do you leave Dumpster in for that fucking long with such apparent control problems?

WADDING, TELL ME HOW JAMES LONEY'S, MANNY RAMIREZ'S and RUSSEL MARTIN'S ASSES TASTE

Jason Bay reminds me of Willy Mo Pena. He can't seem to hit breaking balls, but he destroys fastballs. Not sure what the Angels were thinking throwing him a fastball when he struck out on breaking balls the last 2 at bats, but I'm OK with it.

James Loney is developing into a major stud.

He sucked ass like for 15 games right before the playoffs, so that was awesome to see him crank that outta the park.

<font color=goldenrod>Evan Longlorious</font> :love:

Whoa. Did The Trop get sold out for once?

Technically a sell out but they still had a couple thousand tickets available.

Dear Chicago Cubs,

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE YOU AT, WADDING.

Must be amazing having every single one of your teams getting killed by mine.

LOL

HOLY COW!
