So awesome

Holy crap what a pathetic effort. I honestly don't understand how the team came out this flat and couldn't hit freakin' Tomlin. Pathetic effort. Might be the difference in the series.

Weren't you down 2-1 in the NLCS?
Look how that turned out.

Yes. But this feels different. Plus that Game 3 was at least at LA. It was just very strange seeing them be this flat and uninspired for the first WS at Wrigly in 71 years.

I think you're confusing "flat and uninspired" and "trying to hit a 5 run homer with every swing"

Baez better work on his pitch selection and plate patience in the offseason. He's terrible at that.

Allen would have walked all of them if they held off smh

Russell needs way more work than Baez

Russell needs way more work than Baez

In that area? Strongly disagree. Baez is notorious for swinging as hard as he can at almost any pitch.

looks like its wait another year for the Cubs

Yep. It was fun while it lasted. I'm really disappointed in the offense. But I guess finally making the World Series is something.

They won 103 games and have Lester, Arrieta, and Hendricks. I wouldn't toss all the dirt on em yet.

Clevelands junkballers have thrown the offense off -- cant win if you dont score

They've already beaten 2 of those pitchers rather easily, and we've had 1 good game on offense out of 4.

We may win tonight, but there's pretty much zero chance we can win 3 in a row.

Cardinal moles Lackey and Heyward have performed beautifully in this series.

They're doing their jobs as planned...

 

[firestorm]

Top 8th Indian on 1st 1 out

Go Chapman produce 2 more outs.

 

[firestorm]

Speedy davis steals a base easily.

 

[firestorm]

Excellent a game 6 because cubs win 3-2. Chapman proved to be topnotch.

 

[508mikey]

gotta hope Arietta and Hendricks get some run support now

 

[jvol1]

Hopefully Chapman still able to perform at the end of game 6 after extended outing tonight. Cubs still hanging in there barely.

Lackey actually did pretty well for the season at least, and did good in the NLCS.

Heyward can get bent. Overpaid doesn't even begin to describe him.

Schwarber is batting second tonight according to Rizzo

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I would love to push this to 7 games. At least get a shot.
