What a masterpiece by Hendricks. His pitching is almost Maddux-like...at worst, he's Mark Buerhle in his prime.

Fantastic. Cubs take back home field...Lester goes next game.




BoSox are cooked. They have no answer for that Astros lineup.

What a pitching duel today between Cubs and Nats.

Nail-biter. But, one more to go...Hoping Arrieta brings his best stuff.

It was a f*cked up game and if I were a Nats fan, I would think they are cursed. That inning was screwed-city. Max gets Kris and Rizzo...the two MOST dangerous Cubs players out. Easy.

BUT, after that, it just goes sideways. Completely. This goes even to the blown call (yes, I will say it was a crap call against the Nats) when Baez hit the catcher's mask with his bat. That should've made the call dead.

Yeah, just to show how cursed the Nats are...here is a nutbar statistical look at just what unraveled for their ace: Max Scherzer's unbelievable, impossible, unprecedented loss

It's insane. Cubs should not have even scored those runs...but, baseball is weird. I'm the fan of the team where a fan attempted to catch a ball and Prior, their ace, and the team implodes shortly afterwards to hand the game to the Fish.

@ Cubs...

LA's bullpen and pitching has been lightsout.

Dodgers pitching is too good...And I suspect the last series took a heap out of the Cubbies.

Their bullpen needs to be reassessed when LA eliminates them.

Dodgers have to be WS favorites. Especially vs Yanks.

Wow how the hell did the Astros come back. I thought for sure it was 2-0 when I went to bed.

IMO baseball is boring and would never watch a regular season game, but this series has been insane fun to watch. Crazy.

Do we continue baseball talk here since nobody gives a shit about an offseason thread? Speaking of not giving a shit, Dee Gordon traded to the Mariners for prospects. Marlins fire sale has begun.
