The Cubs Advance to the NLCS

Submitted by CTSteve on

It was the worst most awesome game that you've ever seen, and somehow they pulled it out.

Now let's build up those frequent flyer miles!

If you're going to let Lackey and Wilson just sit there in a situation like tonight, then surely you don't waste the roster spots on them for the LCS, amirite? Rondon and Grimm, for all their warts, would seem to be smarter choices. You can't play these huge games with a 23 man roster.

I’m just glad Cubs fans don’t have to feel compelled to refer to him as Michael F’n A. Taylor... a couple bounces go differently and he’d be our Aaron Boone. What a great series... 3 NLCS appearances in a row is quite an achievement.

Its the best first-half team vs. the best second-half team. Inreally wanted the Cubs to get Darvish. How fucked they gave up a terrific prospect for a useless reliever. How do the Dodgers become so loaded that they can trade everyone and still have plenty left?

We are so spoiled rotten now. Amazing the Cubs won 1 playoff series in the first 40 years of my life, and 5 in the last 2+ years. I was so not into the playoffs. Figured we had our fun last year. ...until last night.

Cubs United Airlines charter flight to L.. A. was diverted to Albuquerque at 5:30 AM this morning due to a medical emergency on-board plane involving a Cubs "family member." 

The plane remained on the ground for five hours while a second crew was summoned to replace the original crew. which could not continue because the crew had exceeded its flight time limit.

I go with Lackey in Game One. If he gives up four or less over six innings, the offense might have a chance to run up Kershaw's pitch count, and have some success against their bullpen. These are free games against the house. Enjoy them, as such. Dodgers in 4 or 5. Cubs in 6 or 7.

this HOU crowd is interesting. a ballpark full of fresh-off-the-rack astros gear going crazy screaming about a popout 30-50ft from the wall as if it was a no-doubt HR. ah, postseason in growing fan markets.

Q or lackey get game 1 lester gets game 2 ...allegedly. dodgers have seemingly committed to kershaw - r.hill - y.darvish - a.wood going 1-4

I think I'd like a Quintana-Lackey piggy back with Quintana getting the start and Montgomery ready to relieve Lackey against any of the potent lefties. Fangraphs puts the Cubs odds at 40% today. I think more like 30% after the travel conditions.

Maybe I missed it, but I have to see anyone in the local media congratulate Todd Ricketts on his remarkably accurate assessment of the Nationals.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
