Phenom Urias finally shows his youth.

Lackey and the pen should be all over the 4-0 lead, and send HFA back to the Cubs.

[Lou]

lots of Cubs fans there.

I know 4 guys from Chicago area and each of them is there, 2 went alone lol 

[CaliAngel]

Now a double. Howie would have caught that. Howie also wouldn't have airmailed the ball on the play at home. Cubs bats are waking up, the weight is coming off their shoulders, they're loosening up.

4-0 CUBBIES! AND CHICAGO BATS ARE STARTING TO WAKE UP!

And it all started with a bunt!

yep. I was going to say earlier that they needed to get some action going, like a bunt, stolen base, etc. 

oh, and Heyward is stealing money from Chicago.

I love "fucking, let's go" Lackey! Love the jutting mandible, love the bared bottom teeth!

[CaliAngel]

3-53 combined from Rizzo and Russell, my god that is...that's gotta be the most shitting the bed of a postseason offense I've ever seen.

Yep.

[Troll Daddy]

Am I the only one that thinks Rizzo looks like Trout.

[Angel Oracle]

Gomer is looking as solid as he did in 2002, 2008, and 2009.

Let's see if Kershaw can actually pitch back-to-back strong post-season games.   Lester figures to be on tomorrow. 

[WeatherWonk]

Might get to see Howie here.

I cant understand why he isnt starting over Utley anyway, right handed starter or not.

[Troll Daddy]

Lackey is pissed!

Probably something about their depth chart with the weird NL player swaps. But agreed. Utley has loooed real bad anyway. Id go howie at 2B and start puig personally.

[Angel Oracle]

Time for Ratso to blow it open

[Angel Oracle]

There's the Rizzo we know.   Two run single makes it 8-2 Cubs.

[Angelsfirst]

Is that OJ attorney Robert Shapiro sitting next to Larry King? BTW, Rizzo does resemble Trout a lot actually.

Nope I've been thinking the same thing. 

Glad the Cubbies bats have come alive. It was only a matter of time, but it was really starting to get down to the wire. I love how a bunt base hit was the start of it all, something so simple. That was a great move.

Could the Doyers possibly have uglier seats at that latrine of a stadium? They're like a mix between poo and khaki.

they're f'n ridiculous. all they need now is some matching pastel-colored drapes to complete the remodel 

[Lou]

has any pitcher win a postseason game with 4 different teams? 

I would think Lackey might be the first 

[CaliAngel]

Not only that, what if Lackey gets to the World Series and is another Game 7 Winner for 3 different teams? Remarkable.

I think this is the most exciting postseason I've watched in a while.

[Lou]

I didn't even think about him winning a 3rd G7

David Wells pitched for six different teams in the post season winning with four of those teams.  

[Troll Daddy]

Did Arod just say ... he would take Andrew Miller over Trout?
