It was also the secret sauce to the 2016 Cubs success. Take a look at how well they've managed to keep it up. :suicide:

Well, and the fact the bullpen wasn’t a complete dumpster fire.

Given the state of the Cubs’ bullpen, this series was pretty much over before it started.

I’m actually pretty envious of Dodgers’ fans, because they’ve got a scary good team, seemingly unlimited payroll, a good farm system, and a lot of young players also.

Our farm system is pretty depleted now though and I though Ricketts is opposed to spending much more on payroll?

That’s because every pitch has a 50% chance of being a homerun.

Oh that’s definitely true. And on one hand it’s great to get back to the NLCS, but getting swept in it also really sucks.

I tried to be optimistic because the Cubs pulled it off so many times last year when I thought they were out. That doesn't appear to be the case this year.

Though if the Dodgers winning a WS is the price to pay for them to lose the NL West next year to the D’backs for all my friends here I’ll gladly take that too.

I'm not trying to flatter; every time Rizzo or Bryant is up there I still have flashbacks from last year and get tense. It's a mystery why they're not performing better this time around.

Cubs used up all their magic winning last year’s WS.
