6!

its amazing how this team goes as rizzo and russell goes. good sign for both. now lets see if lester can shut it down and get it back to wrigle up 3-2.

but again, the cubs played small ball and got things going. im glad they figured that out now rather than being down 3-1.

I’ve been uncharacteristically calm during October. Not sure why, but I ain't mad at me.

 

[CP1708]

Fowler CF
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Zobrist LF
Baez 2B
Heyward RF
Russell SS
Ross C
Lester P

Standard lineup when Lester pitches.

Lemme get two more home runs tonight.

 

[arstyle27]

Perfect start. Be patient, then attack.

 

[CP1708]

Rizz

 

[arstyle27]

Should've scored at least 2 there.....bogus call against Javy.

 

[CP1708]

Baez juuuuuuuuust missed a home run.

 

[CP1708]

Addison muscle!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sickickz23]

Inning at a time boys....Let's try and close this out!

 

[arstyle27]

I give Lester one more inning. Short hook for Strop, if there's trouble. Don't want Chap for more than one inning.

 

[sickickz23]

They need to tell Heyward to just swing away early because it never ends well when he works the counts

 

[arstyle27]

Nah dude. There's no hope for Heyward until the off season.

 

[arstyle27]

He's just so bad. I love his defense, but he's literally an automatic out.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Agreed. His mechanics are sooo bad
Off season he's gotta rework his entire approach.

 

[sickickz23]

What a job by Lester

 

[CVO_RN95]

Lester pitched one hell of a game today! I'm pumped to be going to Game 6 this Saturday!

 

[CP1708]

I love this ******* team.

 

[CVO_RN95]

I love this ******* team.

Agreed!

 

[CP1708]

Javy Gawd!!!!!!

 

[Chester McFloppy]

I love this ******* team.

You and me both, brother!

 

[sickickz23]

Oh thank God for that inning because I don't like using chapman to get 6 outs

 

[arstyle27]

Feels good to finally relax lol

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

I cant relax till we get that 27th out.

 

[CVO_RN95]

I want Saturday to come already lol.
