I heard a few days ago Joe said Lester would not pitch game 4...
maybe saving him for game 5 ala Lou Pinella saving Zambrano.

97 wins with no pitching.
I was surprised a year ago when we got Lester. I didn't think we were ready to go after free agent pitchers. This was the year all the kids come up.
The Cubs will make pitching moves this winter.
Regarding the ivy...
a little inside info the opposition may not know.
It's cushioned behind it, so feel free to run down those fly balls with no fear.
For those who don't understand the ground rule double, try basket-weaving.
Watching Four Days in October...
Wow.
Yep.
Yep.
We don't have an answer for your pitching.
Just hope its not a dead cat bounce.
WGN/Cubs broadcast roots go back to 1948...
I only know that because Wikipedia said so. I can only attest from the 1960's.
I don't recall seeing a lot of Yankee games but yes, the Fighting Irish were on every weekend.
Back then we had CBS, NBC, ABC and WGN that came in good reception-wise. Channel 32 on the UHF dial barely came in, but there wasn't anything on it worth watching. White Sox were on that channel which is probably why most of the city discounts them as a true major league team having never seen them.
Never had a desire to root for the Yankees and I don't recall anyone in the neighborhood that did either.
Top payrolls generally correlate to winning teams. Mostly teams in the top ten payrolls win.
Then when I look at Joe Maddon's success with bargain basement payrolls, it leads me to feel the Cubs really did this re-build the right way. They are buying up the whole Wrigleyville neighborhood. I think they will spend on free agency now that the nucleus has been formed.
No, but I am a Cubs fan if that counts.
LOL. That was funny as long as you're not a Mariner fan.
Yes he does...
and he will fix that this winter.
Pretty exciting here and building into tomorrow...
I thought we were supposed to wait til next year to hit the playoffs.
4 18 22
We're doomed.
Nice...
a happy ending!
Where is the ball??
Schwarber's bat is on the ground. Kyle, the pitcher, catcher and home plate ump are looking up towards right field.
The other players and umps don't react.
The fans aren't reacting.
You can scroll in on this panoramic picture...
Technology is so cool.
We clearly found our son and his aunt in their seats:

For the Mets, @Noahsyndergaard will go in Game 2. Matz pitches Game 4.
Jayson Stark
Senior Writer, ESPN.com
Terry Collins says Noah Syndergaard will start Game 2. "He told me, 'I'm not stiff. I'm not sore. I feel great.' I said, 'OK, you've got tomorrow.'"
Syndergaard is starting game 2
As a Cubs fan...
just dropped my jaw, shake my head and say, Really!?!
My black lab's name is Wrigley...
when we picked him up from the shelter, his name was Murphy.
Sleep with one eye open SSKILLZ1...
WE ARE ON OUR WAY!
What happened in Andre Eithier's corn flakes?
Eventually, MLB will have to step into the excessive celebrations...
like the NFL had to do.
Choreographed TD spikes. Autographed TD balls. TD cell phone selfies. TO spiking the Dallas start, Emmitt Smith spiking TO. etc. Cross the line and you earn your team a 15 yard penalty.
Bat flips and fist pumps are going to keep escalating until they go to far. Infants getting pelted from the upper deck with beer cans constitutes going to far.
I think I'd like to play the Mets too...
a lot of Chicagoans would probably point to 1969, but the Cubs losing 17 of their last 25 was more the cause of failure than the Mets beating us.
Besides, this board is 90% New Yawkers and we'd have fun with it.
Sitting here on easy street for a day or so...
then the anxiety will kick back in.
I'll be pretty screwed up again, well before the first pitch is thrown on Saturday. More than likely, sometime Friday and quite possibly as early as late Thursday. LOL.
Thx!
Fun times. Went to the Comcast store. Saw a guy with a Cubs shirt on so I yell GO CUBS! He replies the same. Next thing I know, everyone is talking Cubs.
Happens every where I go.
Pretty cool.
SWEET SHOT!
CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!
Oh man!!!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree.
Just one more piece Joe Maddon has to work with...
ever since we got Rodney from you, I cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Hammel has had the short leash all year...
Maddon just keeps getting lucky I guess.
I don't think Hammel is a Cub next year. Maddon has yanked him early and often all year. He's all we got.
You have pitching...
and we don't.
That's why you don't get it.
We fall off pretty fast after Arrietta, Lester and Hendricks.
Bullpen by committee has been an art all year.
