I hope the giants get loving hammered tonight and Cueto makes it to a 5 AM bar. It's our only hope.

Hot take: The Cubs are good and have a very good shot at beating the Giants and advancing to the NLCS.

On paper, the Cubs are the superior team in pretty much every aspect.

Which will make the three consecutive 1-run losses all the more brutal. :negative:

the giants are almost certainly going to throw bumgarner out there in game 2 so that he would have a shot at game 5 so expect cueto, bumgarner, samardzija, cueto, bumgarner

EYBS has no basis in reality. A motherfucker with 30 career home runs just hit a dinger to win the game.

I would honestly not have a problem with the Cubs winning, unless they gently caress it up later on of course.

These teams played playoff-esque games against each other this past season and (I think) 6 of the 7 games were decided by 1 run.

Basically this is going to fantastic, classic viewing for the neutral observes and ulcer inducing for us.

Game 2 is Saturday. That would be insane. They can win without that.

Bumgarner will definitely start game 3, then probably game 5 if necessary.

Bumgarner will start games 2, 3, and 4, and then pull a three-inning save in Game Five.

if he pitches game 3 first then game 5 comes later with 2 days rest. if you want him going twice, he's going to have a break of 2 days rest somewhere. i'd probably opt for game 2 into game 5 to try and split in chicago but i can see an argument either way. point is he's going to pitch on two days rest this series

Man, I just don't know what to feel as a Cubs fan.

I hope we get revenge for 1989. That NLCS really stabbed a dagger in my 16 year old heart.

E: Bumgarner really does sound like he grew up in an area where cousins marry.

I mean, he did date a girl with his exact name, so it's not so far-fetched.

I can only assume the rabbit was saved at the behest of his wife. Madison is a pitiless killing machine, and wouldn't hesitate to choke the life from anything he can get his hands on.
