Everything else aside...the bottom line is Bryant and Rizzo aren't hitting. When they hit the Cubs can overcome almost anything. When they don't, the Cubs will lose to good teams in close games.

It's pretty simple. Those 2 drive the offense.

those 2 were ofer again tonight

Yeah he didn't hang around Furlong.

Easy to hate the Dodgers, but they sure did the right thing by locking up Turner and Jansen.

So how is Maddon going to screw this game up? 

We have the answer.

What a nimrod. Looks like the players are going to have to bail him out again. 

[Lou]

Will someone please shut Pedro up? Good Lord.

If you want to be accurate, they didn't lock them up. They allowed them to become FAs then signed them .

They still didn't let them get away and besides Kershaw, they're the 2 best players on the team. Losing even one of them would have been huge

At least wade davis will be well rested

Nice win for Dodgers. Huge hit for Turner.

Maddon's genius status in question.

Haha Lackey.

I decided to take a look at Jason Heyward's stats to see if he rebounded after last season. Not really. The Cubs thought they bought a 115 OPS+ player and Heyward ended the regular season at 85 or basically below average. 

He went from a 6.5 WAR player to a 2.3 which just a shade over Calhoun's production this year at 2.1. They still owe him $132 million over the next six years. 

i've long thought hayward is a terribly overrated player. he disappears for long stretches of time. glad we didn't sign him.

my brother was there tonight with a college buddy of ours, and i'm glad they got to witness a playoff walk-off. it was the dodgers first walk-off homer in a playoff game since the '88 WS and kirk gibson, to which i was there.

your daily dose of meaningless trivia for the day.

I think you and your family need to quit going to Dodgers playoff games.

agreed. i can see how twice in 29 years does seem a tad too frequent.

[tdawg87]

If these are the only two times you should see a pattern.
