Or like black took out Blackmon

HTF do you score just TWO runs in 22 post-season innings AT HOME????

The Cubs made a meh Rocks pen look like the 2002-2008 Halos pen.

Offense CHOKE!!!!

Cubs post-season offense = 2014 Halos post-season offense.

The long game doesn’t hurt the Rocks too much, since they only travel up the road to Milwaukee and don’t play until Thursday.

"We struggled the whole year, the whole year," Baez said. "We just kept [saying] we're going to get it back ... but it never came to us. We were never in a rhythm of winning games. I think it was because we were paying attention to other teams."

Guess nobody taught Baez to focus on OGAT....

"It sucks," third baseman Kris Bryant said. "I've been fortunate to not be eliminated this early.

"This is the best time for this organization. The fans have suffered for a long time. I think it's important for us to be proud of what we've been able to accomplish. We didn't accomplish what we wanted this year, but there's still a lot to be proud of where the Chicago Cubs have come from."

Well, at least they know how to turn the page.

All BS aside -- Cubbies got a good thing going.

I live in Chicago and I agree. They've just turned into the Midwest Red Sox now.

You would have thought they weren't a 95 win team. I guess they just didn't believe in themselves so this was a self fulfilling prophecy. Maybe they need a manager that can kick the loser mentality out of them.

[T.G.]

I say this all the time... winning is hard.

Baseball will humble the best of the best.

Managers don't matter.  I've read it here over and over.

[yk9001]

Can't wait to read this thread throughout the playoffs, where every manager move gets dissected.  

 

I have my quotes ready for all the posters who, while bending over backwards to defend Sosh, wrote that managers don't matter.

TBH, the Rox pen was pretty lights out in September. Their total team ERA for the month was 3.26 (4th in the NL). That wasn't ALL Kyle Freeland. 

[Troll Daddy]

First post season game didn’t disappoint. There were a lot of scoring opportunities for both clubs but RBIs are a thing of the past  

Big moment for the Cubs when Gore’s HBP was reversed and Gore stuck out swinging what looked to be ball four ... that kid can fly. 

[Blarg]

Yes but that kid can't hit. He was a pinch runner for Rizzo that can hit.

Did anyone else notice the stunning resemblance between Gore and Figgins? Including their baserunning.

 

[Blarg]

Yes, they are both black and short. Figgins knew how to hit.
