2015 NLDS Games Thread: Eat Shit, St. Louis

[Saul Goodman]

God bless Starlin Castro.

[Wheezer]

I think, as Cub fans, we've seen enough "sure things" to realize that they rarely actually are. I'm no more confident today than I was in 2003, when the Marlins were in Chicago facing the "unbeatable duo" of Prior and Wood. That was supposed to be the year in which the remade Cubs were introduced to the league, with the promise of many more competitive years to come. The Cubs even had a supposed rejuvinated farm system.

I'm not saying that this year is like 2003, just that 2003 is perhaps the reason some of us feel uncomfortable. In particular, I think that 2003 has made us all more cynical and smarter. The future acutally looks much brighter this year. But the shadow of past seasons will always leave us doubting a bit. As they should.

No Kurt hate intended, but isn't THIS the worst thing someone could have posted?

It's clear we're never going to be ok, as Cubs fans.

I assume it's similar to the feeling I would have if I ever started dating a supermodel.  On the one hand, yay for me.  On the other hand, the insecurity and overthinking would probably kill me on the spot.

Remind me to show you my diastasis recti some time.

I would really like this to be the game where the Cubs break the Cardinals.

I'd like that to be tomorrow, when the Cubs come in with a 2-1 lead and win 10-0 to close out the series.

How do they get the ten runs? Everyone in the lineup crushes a solo home run, except Rookie of the Year Kris "Not Grichuk or Piscotty" Bryant's being a two-run bomb for good measure.

And you better believe every single one gets a curtain call.

If Bryant could just get a hit, I'd appreciate that.

FYP.

I think it needs to be said again:

EAT SHIT, ST. LOUIS!

Just before the pitch that Rizzo hit into the right field stands he gave us a smile as though he knew what was going to happen next.

Nobody to blame but themselves at this point.

Well shit.

It doesn't look to me like those were bad pitches. Still, you have to think Arrieta is done after this inning.

I'm telling myself the bullpen can get 10 outs without giving up a run.  I can't muster a lot of conviction.

They are when they aren't called both ways.

The Cards seem to have figured out the strike zone and haven't been taking those pitches -- so they can't be called both ways.

JORGE "THE CARDINAL KILLER" SOLER. HOLY SHIT.
