OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

That home plate umpire is a fucking piece of shit.

Because he glued their bats to their shoulders?

Agreed. I don't think it was a great or even a consistent zone but that doesn't excuse shit like Zobrist inexplicably taking a called third strike that was well within the zone (in fact it's even more inexplicable that he didn't offer at it given how the zone had been called all night), or Willson giving up two ABs by not swinging at all and then trying to bunt his way on. They got beat.
Kershaw is a great pitcher.  He has a hitch in his delivery that (I believe) throws batters off.  He also has great command of the strike zone.  I know that I am being Captain Obvious with these remarks, but my point is that last night's game was more about Kershaw's pitching than it was about the Cubs' batting.

How do you explain the other three loses that are sure to follow?  Probably by tomorrow.

DOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Runs are good. I like runs. Won't they score some?

If I heard the postgame interview correctly, Joe's analysis was "if you're not scoring runs, it makes it more difficult in the playoffs." There's some chance that there was an "a little bit" in there, but I'm not hanging around for transcripts.

Yes, you have to score runs to win games, but first you have to get some runners  on base.
