Slow your horses lol. A win here means you get Harvey on regular rest against either Lester or a short-rest Arrieta. Either way, the Mets have a distinct advantage.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

We should have went with Haren as the 4th starter in the playoffs.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Stop it......we're already dead.

It wasn't going to matter who it was... Unless it was Arrieta

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe this series. I'm trying to be big picture here but this performance has been straight up embarrassing.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

On the bright side, we can finally stop hearing about freakin Back to the Future 2.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

I beg for mercy New York Metropolitans.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Might as well go out being no hit.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Pressure is on for next year; don't pull a repeat of 2004 or 2009.

Wasn't this Cubs team ahead of schedule?

 

[TBrown]

Wasn't this Cubs team ahead of schedule?

Yes

 

[Nerd-Vol]

So it's bittersweet for the fans no doubt, but their future is bright.

I have no idea where the reds are in the rebuilding process, but the nl central is tough.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Wasn't this Cubs team ahead of schedule?

Yes, but that means if next year isn't a playoff year, then fans will get pretty ticked.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

We need sign a couple starting pictures in the off season.And I would like to try to get an closer and move Rodon to set up man.

 

[zjcvols]

Yes, but that means if next year isn't a playoff year, then fans will get pretty ticked.

You had six regulars under the age of 25 and won 97 games. You'll be fine.

Thats what the Nats thought too and look what happened

Actually, the Nats don't have anywhere near the young stars the Cubs had. Zimmerman, Werth, Desmond are all over 30.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

The Cubs signed John Lackey.

 

[508mikey]

The Cubs signed John Lackey.

Wouldnt have done that deal

 

[TheDeeble]

The Cubs signed John Lackey.

They appear to have won the Heyward bid war as well.

Chicago Cubs add to offseason haul by agreeing with OF Jason Heyward

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms with free-agent outfielder Jason Heyward, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick and multiple reports.

 

[YankeeVol]

Strange But True: Jason Heyward hit his 1st career HR with his 1st swing in his 1st MLB at-bat against the Cubs.

 

[37L1]

Man, the Cubs are killing it!

What's their payroll look like?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I can't wait for the season to start.
