New Lackey gif opportunity coming soon.

 

[ColdPizza]

Who wants to bet T-Mobile gets blamed if the cubs lose this game and the series?

 

[brentech]

Indians didn't get scared and press after going down. Going after it

 

[J2 Cool]

Ive seen enough year numbers. Cubs are going to have to score to win this game, good luck offense

 

[thefro]

I hate umpires.

Maybe they'll offer better free stuff in Tuesdays.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Cubs in full meltdown blaming the ump.

Entire city of Chicago has asscheeks squeezed as tight as Cameron did before Ferris' day off.

 

[Mrbob]

Whelp getting close to there is always next year talk.

Cubs in full meltdown blaming the ump.

Entire city of Chicago has asscheeks squeezed as tight as Cameron did before Ferris' day off.

At least the Cubs will forever be linked with vanquishing even year magic.

Dont worry the ump behind homeplate in tomorrows game is from chicago and grew up a cubs fan.

Let'a just forget about yesterday when the Wahoos were all about ump blaming.

 

[jey_16]

Cubbies are done....wrap it up

What, you don't like your small Frosty at Wendy's or your digital magazine subscription?

Let'a just forget about yesterday when the Wahoos were all about ump blaming.

This series has had bad calls all around. Cleveland was getting some obvious miscalls last night, Chicago is getting them mostly tonight so far.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Oh well, maybe Cubs fans can get a chance to see a home game World Series win in another 100 years.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Come on Maddon, put Scharwber in the outfield. I need some hijinks to go with my delicious Sunday brunch.

[J2 Cool]

Smoltz is killing me right now. Still reeling from his "Rizzo didnt make a good hit" on his rbi to start the game. Just relentless

 

[bgbball31]

Let'a just forget about yesterday when the Wahoos were all about ump blaming.

Except there was discernible evidence that the Cubs got a huge advantage with the strike zone.

Watch the video in that tweet. It's MLB Tonight talking about it.

If the same thing happens tonight, then Cubs fans can complain. However, right now the Tribe only has a (comparably) small advantage with the zone.

The most Bryant can do right now

 

[reggieandTFE]

That was strike 3. Bryant is legit shook.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

That was strike 3

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Umps trying their best to help Chicago

The fix is in

 

[Sanjuro]

Zobrist gave his wife a ring pop?

Did I say it wasn't fucked in favor of the Cubs yesterday? It totally was. I'd rather it not be for either team.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

This strike zone is egregious

 

[bgbball31]

Did I say it wasn't fucked in favor of the Cubs yesterday? It totally was. I'd rather it not be for either team.

I agree, I want it fair for both teams as well. I'm just saying that Cleveland fans had a much larger base to stand on for complaining about the umps last night than Cubs fans do (so far) tonight.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

IT'S KLUBERIN' TIME!

 

[thefro]

Rizzo should have rushed the mound after Kluber intentionally beaned him. At least force the umps to warn Kluber.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Rizzo should have rushed the mound after Kluber intentionally beaned him. At least force the umps to warn Kluber.

He should probably stop standing over the plate if he doesn't want to get hit

Dudes notorious for it

 

[billeh]

Why the fuck Lackey was batting in that inning is anyone's guess.

Edit: Then he does that, fuck me

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Rizzo should have rushed the mound after Kluber intentionally beaned him. At least force the umps to warn Kluber.

And risk getting ejected. Brilliant thinking, 99!

[Ninja Scooter]

I wish Buck would have referred to Jason Patric as "Star of Speed 2"

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Why don't umps toss guys anymore

 

[Sanjuro]

Pete Rose bet on Heyward.

Hmmmmm.....

 

[thefro]

Lindor with the error there, choking under the pressure.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Jason Heyward in 2016 is the Cubs' best hitter

Amazing

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Should have sold my Javy Baez stock right after the NLCS.

 

[J2 Cool]

Javy has to know the pitcher sees him as aggressive, and will not give you a hittable ball pitch 1. Way to get in the hole

Smoltz saying "good luck next year", with 'theyre gonna learn from this'

 

[NomarTyme]

lol chasing

 

[Mrbob]

Baez has been a liability this series.

 

[reggieandTFE]

He seems to forgotten that he physically can't reach that low breaking ball 2 feet off the plate.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Smoltz acting like the series is over lol.

 

[LastActionHero]

Should have been scored an error, but somehow Heyward was credited with a hit. Definitely shoulda made that play

 

[mambadragon]

Is the umpire wearing parachute pants?

 

[friskykillface]

Lol if the Cubs lose all 3 games at home

holy fucking shit.

Well I mean the Cubs can come back but they have been crumbling under the pressure.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Well I mean the Cubs can come back but they have been crumbling under the pressure.

Honestly, Kluber only has to do 1, maybe 2 more innings if he's feeling good. They're not scoring off Miller. Allen maybe?

 

[BFIB]

Well I mean the Cubs can come back but they have been crumbling under the pressure.

To be fair, that is a lot of pressure for this team. Don't get me wrong, the Indians have it too, but the way the media has hyped the ever loving shit out of this Cubs team as WS win or bust essentially, its tough to not let some of that get to you. Then you count in the fan expectations, the first WS game to be played at Wrigley since 1945. Again, Cleveland has this too, but they also hosted a WS as late as '97.

Doesn't hurt that the Indians pitching has been pretty much perfect this postseason, minus a few blips here and there.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Smoltz acting like the series is over lol.

Smoltzie is an expert in this field having been on 4 World Series losing teams.
