I really thought they would reverse the call based on the video. But not. Also I swear Lackey's strike zone is the size of a thimble. I'm not really rooting for either team but man it seems like the Cubs can't catch a break.

Wed Oct 19, 2016, 09:25 PM
Oct 2016

before he reached third.

Arietta, or however you spell his name, has not been the same since they accused him of roiding it up last year

check it out

baez swinging at pitches three feet out of strike zone

like trump, I like to exaggerate, but it was up at his shoulders


hahaahah,,, then he scoops a ball off the ground and get a texas leaguer to drop in front of the grocery clerk

this after their first hit in three games.....a twenty foot bunt


first and second nobody out. if they don't score now, they are SURELY toast. it's the bottom of the batting order, so I'm reasonable certain they'll goose egg it

Wed Oct 19, 2016, 09:07 PM

innings in a series?

they're already at 20, I think

and the dodgers have a frickin grocery clerk playing left!

actually, that's pretty cool. good for him

cubs can NOT hit a curve to save their lives

chris Bryant looks pathetic up there, waving at jug handles

going with the Indians in the Series, though

close to 200 rbi together in the regular season

russell, in particular, looks like a little leaguer against the curve/slider menu he's been fed

Rizzo strikes out again

three innings, make it 21 scoreless in a row, NO hits

Not if Planet Cub goes to the series, though.

Wed Oct 19, 2016, 09:29 PM
Oct 2016

they actually SCORED!

it took the worst throw from the grocery cook I've ever seen to keep him safe....like thirty feet up the first base line, from about thirty feet from the infield!

the third base coach should be fired for sending him! a decent throw would've had him out by at LEAST ten feet.

perhaps this is an omen from above?

the basil hayden is smoother than the bulliett bourbon, if that's what it was.

like the BH better than templeton rye, as well. know the story about that stuff? my sister told me. she's from Iowa

can't remember it now, but it has to do with gangsters, I think

11 bucks a regular shot for anything above rail here

meanwhile, cubs turn a double play ball into a two run double that makes it about thirty feet into the outfield

no more baseball for me

dodgers put in a reliever that should have started the game

Depressing. And I was born in 66 so have no memory.

Weller 12 year is impossible to fine. But still affordable when you do. I got 1.75Litre for $55. And only drink it on special occasions.

Like when Hillary is insuring her Presidency. And you can bet I will be drinking on November 8.

youngster, I lucked out of the draft with a high number, and have been highly politicized since then.

I work in a school, so we're closed election day....polling place....and I can't decide whether to take a business day
on Weds. we should know by then what's going to happen, unless HRC shits herself tonight

hoping for a day off to sleep away the congeners. that's the problem with our colored liquors

But if you do, it will be the best Bourbon you have ever had. Here in Florida each ABC liquor store MAY get a bottle or 2 on their Thursday delivery. If not here in the first 20 minutes you are out of luck. But regular Wellers is easier to find and really, really good. Better than Makers and 5 dollars cheaper. It is aged 5 years vs. 2 for Makers. And I really like Makers.

And I always take off the day after a presidential election. Even when I know we will lose. I am an election junkie.

You have a very nice evening.
