If we have to lose, then it better be against Kershaw. If we can beat him though...

I'm basically treating this like the Bumgarner game - I don't expect to win, but if we do win I'll be ecstatic. However if we do lose, I hope it's because Kershaw actually stymied the Cubs vs that Game 3 bullshit of Maddon managing himself out of available pitchers.

Kershaw looking good so far. Hopefully Hendricks can keep pace, I'm down for a pitchers duel between the ERA title winner and the probably ERA title winner had he racked up enough innings to qualify

If only he could keep getting that call, but he absolutely didn't get it for Turner or Seager.

I just noticed we've got one of those weird umps who won't give the catcher a new ball and throws it directly to the pitcher himself.

I mean at this rate we're probably going to get 6 out of Kyle, maaaaybe 7 if he gets a really quick 1-2-3 inning or something.

Montgomery is up in the pen and I think if Hendricks allows one more runner he's done.

Second pitch popup works too. Also after all that? Still only 50 pitches through 5.

I mean, even disregarding Heyward's awful career numbers against Kershaw, you'd think the whole matchups thing would convince Maddon to PH Soler there. Hell even if you're worried about RF defense, you could then switch Almora in defensively the next inning. Soler probably wouldn't have gotten a hit either, but at least it would have been a genuine effort instead of... whatever letting Heyward bat was.

Wood up again. I'd just like to think Zastryzny is sitting in the corner twiddling his thumbs, wondering if Maddon remembers he also pitches left handed.

So I know I shouldn't be throwing shade what with Rizzo's slump, but seriously how had Pederson ever hit the ball? He's taken nothing but the most awkward garbage cuts all series.

Not that I won't be disappointed if the Cubs lose - I will - but if it's 0-1 to Kershaw then fine, I can live with that. If the bullpen comes in and shits the bed now though...
