Travis Wood homering was freaking hilarious but it's not worth losing an effective Hendricks. Hope he's alright.

He's fine. They're all fine.
All is well.

Mate, at 0248 this morning, I was just sitting down to the top of the third.  Got back to bed at 0530.  It was 0600 yesterday.  Fuck night games - how come the Cubs are - yet again - the only team that doesn't have a single fucking day game?

Also, they were the westernmost game today

In 1984, you would have thought the networks were going to go bankrupt having to broadcast a DAY postseason game. (never mind it was only 13 years since the first night World Series game). Since then, there have been 18 postseason games at Wrigley Field.

1989 NLCS Game 1: Night
1989 NLCS Game 2: Night (Game 5 on the road a day game)
1998 NLDS Game 3: Night (Game 1 on the road a day game)
2003 NLDS Game 3: Night (perfectly timed to conflict with my rehearsal dinner)
2003 NLDS Game 4: Day (perfectly timed to be played between my wedding and my reception)
2003 NLCS Game 1: Night
2003 NLCS Game 2: Night
2003 NLCS Game 6: Night
2003 NLCS Game 7: Night
2007 NLDS Game 2: Day
2008 NLDS Game 1: Late afternoon/night
2008 NLDS Game 2: Night
2015 NLDS Game 3: Late afternoon/night
2015 NLDS Game 4: Late afternoon/night
2015 NLCS Game 3: Night
2015 NLCS Game 4: Night
2016 NLDS Game 1: Night
2016 NLDS Game 2: Night

That's 13 pure night games, 3 more that started late enough they pretty much needed lights the whole game (but at least were before most kids' bedtimes), and just 2 that were day games.

Including 1984 Cubs are 2-2 in Wrigley Field postseason Day games, 5-8 at night, and 2-1 in late afternoon/early evening games.

I'm not sure what you can do with this information, but I'm sure Mike D. appreciates it.

[Saul Goodman]

Alright, John Lackey. This is what they signed you for. Let's see it.

[Chuck to Chuck]

2003 NLDS Game 4: Day (perfectly timed to be played between my wedding and my reception)

I remember that day...

[CubFaninHydePark]

Alright, John Lackey. This is what they signed you for. Let's see it.

Now, let's forget this waste of $16 million.

[Canadouche]

Alright, John Lackey. This is what they signed you for. Let's see it.

No, he's going to go again. Better to not write him off just yet.

You're terrible at learning lessons, huh?

[Grandmaster Wang]

So we all want the Fightin' Dustys, right? (I don't know the answer, I'm asking.)

Yeah I'd rather have the Nats. Kershaw and Rich Hill haven't exactly covered themselves in glory so far in the series but their regular season numbers were so absurd and I fear their ability to dominate a short series more than the Nationals starters.

I just don't want any more West Coast start times.

This is about as far as I go with having a preference.

In the words of a fucking beast, "Who gives a shit?"
