GO CUBS GO!!!

Too bad The Shark was run off the club.

As a Cubs fan, I don't mind at all. Chicago fleeced Oakland in that trade. Plus, being traded isn't really being "run off the club".

Glad to see the Dodgers go with that insane payroll.

Go Mets.

GO CUBS GO! GO CUBS GO! HEY CHICAGO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

Been a Reds fan all my life but pulling for the Cubs to win it all.

I can't believe that the Cubs/Mets game is at the same time of the ND/USC game! Oh well I'll record the Cub game.
GO IRISH AND CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am waiting on Irishnumberone to make a prediction on who will win before I predict anything. He is money !.

It'll be awhile. He's hiding in the stadium right now waiting until game time to pop out.

I love his inside scoops from overheard student conversations at the ACC/Joyce Center.....

Actually the Cub bullpen was quite effective against the Cardinals. I really like that the Cub pitching will be set with the extra time off. Lester and then Arrrieta is a good start to the series. It's about time Lester starts earning some of that $160M. It's times like this is the main reason the Cubs signed him.

I wasn't suggesting the Mets bullpen was deeper I was quite impressed with what the cubbies did too St Louis that's a tough ball club to beat my comment was more general

I agree with you that pitching, especially the bullpen, will be big in this series.

God, when I see a figure like $160 million I realize why I no longer pay much attention to pro sports.

It's the cost of doing business nowadays.

I know, man, I know. Saw report saying Greinke is opting out of last three years on a deal worth $70 million for the next three years.

I certainly don't think ballplayers should be in a position where they have to tend bar during the off-season to make ends meet, but being paid the GNP of a small Central American country seems a bit much.

Cubs lose the first game of the series 4-2. They lost the first game of the Cardinal series too.
