Cubs and Dodgers are tied in their series 1-1, and dig in for three games at LA.

YOUR PITCHERS
Jake Arrieta: Looked pretty okay in his last outing against the Giants and smacked a three run homer to boot, but the Cubs still lost that game anyway because Maddon couldn't manage his bullpen out of a paper bag (if that makes sense). For some reason pitches really well in California.

Rich Hill: Looked decidedly not okay in his last two outings, leading to a quick hook in his second although the Dodgers still managed to eek out a win thanks to a timely Kershaw save (no really). Throws a lot of curveballs and has the fingers of your grandmother after spending three weeks submerged in a bubble bath.

So, I'm wearing my Bryant tee that I was wearing during Game 1, my 80s Angry Bear cap that I wore during NLDS Game 4, and my Cubs Believe bracelet that I forgot to bring with me for Game 2. I swear I'm not crazy, just a Cubs fan.

I walked in to Pat Hughes' voice and for one glorious moment thought maybe something incredible had happened and I'd get to listen to him instead, but then I realized it was just the promo video and Joe Buck's loving face popped up a moment later :negative:

Joe Buck says "resilient" and it sounds like "Brazilian". Now I keep wondering who on the Dodgers is from Brazil.

I've got a sinking feeling in my stomach that this is going to be nothing but Cubs swinging through curve balls for nine innings.

Ask a Mets fan if It's better that they not swing.
