Tired of hitting a million hard lineouts last night, Dodgers hitters have realized that if you hit the ball over the fence Cubs defenders can't catch it

Of course I won't be too upset if we lose this series to the Dodgers - it's hard to compete against a team that spent more than $100 million more on payroll than the Cubs.

Just a reminder, when Cardinals sportswriter (and posters) said this in 13 and 14 they were mocked incessantly for it.

Yeah, Kershaw definitely is getting more leniency on his pitches so far for the strike zone.

Looks like the Leftie strike zone is a little slim tonight so far and for right handed it's real tight.

Please allow me to set the bounds for Cubs angst.

Lower bound: "Kershaw is tough, but once they have an outside chance when they get to the bullpen."

Upper bound: "Theo Epstein is fraud and decades of darkness is ahead of us."
