It's Cahill's job to throw his best pitch in that situation. It Montero's fucking job to catch those pitches.

Cahill did his job. Montero didn't.

I'm pissed. But mostly just because April is so far away.

I'd enjoy the opportunity to watch this home plate ump draw his last breath on this earth.  I'd even light a cigarette and make sure that all he knew on his way out was the stench of second-hand smoke.
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

Speaking of quality starting pitching, Greinke might be on the market.

Buck up, Eli.  There's still baseball tomorrow.  And even if it ends, we're 2 weeks closer to April than we have been the last few years.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Oh good, another guy who can't beat the fucking Mets in the postseason.

FTFY.

He beat them one more time than any Cubs starter this post season. Struck them out 17 times in 13.2 innings, 3.29 ERA.

I guess you could say that I'm grateful that I can still watch a Cubs game.

When the Hawks were in 2011 down 3-0 to Vancouver my brother askede if I wanted to go to Game 4.  I said, "Yeah, man. Let's go watch a hockey game". And sure enough the Hawks put forth a good effort and took a game.  Most of us know what happened next, and while PenFoe hates the cross-sports parallels, looked at from a team sports competitive perspective (and using the same elimination format) it can be all we have to hang our cat on as helpless fans to cope--particularly since this franchise itself has afforded us so few precedents themselves.

But yeah, there's a ballgame tonight and I'm looking forward to it.  I'd hate to see the Cubs get swept but even if they did, they have completely rinsed my mouth of the lingering bitter taste that was the result of the infuriating 2008 team which very nearly broke me.  This team has restored me.

I want to agree with you and would like to enjoy one more baseball game, but if I have to see 3 hours of shots of sad fans in the stands, and then cutaways to happy fans in some shitty Manhattan bar, I'm going to smash my TV.

Pray for rain and then Lester can start.  Still can't avoid the Hammel start though, unless it rains ALOT.

Cool, maybe he can give up four runs again.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Hmm, rainout tonight, so Lester in Game 4 tomorrow and Arrieta in Game 5 Friday? Then maybe another rainout Saturday and a Hammel/Hendricks/Wood bulppen day combo Sunday and Lester for the win Monday?

Granted, they'd have to be in Kansas City Tuesday, and you could be looking at Haren or Arrieta (on 3 days rest) starting Game One. But I'd take it.

How about a rainout tonight and a salmonella outbreak at the Westin?
