guess I will have to keep watching the videos for Javy... Zobie on 2nd today. Decline in offense prioritized over stellar defense~ at least for the first half of the game (670 the Score reporting that..no official line up out to the public yet)

Hoping the Cubs can win at least one of the next two, because we are rolling into Chicago for the USC ND game on Thursday and would love to watch the final game. Sports bars near Navy pier?

actually ON Navy Pier you have Harry Caray's (but will be jammed) http://www.harrycarays.com/harry-carays-tavern/

Why not hop a cab to Wrigleyville? Will be like , $15 from NP.

Harry Carys sounds perfect, thanks

GAME 3 LINEUP~ SHAKING THINGS UP A BIT, STAYING LEFTY-HEAVY (Schwarb's back to 2nd spot..Joe sure must've liked that dent Kyle put in the wall against the Nat's..and it's his WS lineup spot)
LETS GO CUBS!!!! WE NEVER QUIT!!!!!!!!!!GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!

LETS GO KYLE! WIND BLOWING OUT~need The Professor to get those grounders

we need the offense but boy , I almost always remember Javy when Hendo pitches

 

[FINFAN]

Harry Carys sounds perfect, thanks

FYI~Harry's place on the Pier isn't all that large, if they are taking ressie's I would make them if the Cubs have tied up the series . Other wise you will fine there

Depends on how far you're thinking. Theory, one of my fav sports bars, is about a 20 minute walk from the Pier.

given our right handed pitching Utley and Pederson in tonight's Dodger lineup

I agree with Joe on the one. Love Javy but we can only carry so many players who are not hitting for their defense. Let’s have the best of both worlds and get a nice lead behind Kyle and then bring in Javy!

Anyone else bored with the Cubs? They are really, really bad right now.

Not bored just disappointed.

Not bored just disappointed.

They're playing like clowns. This is a repeat of 2015.

CUBS IN 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Could you imagine?


Well...does it suck being 0-3? yep..but what doesn't suck is looking at that beauty of a scoreboard at Wrigley and seeing 4 teams and we are one of them..AGAIN!

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MOMENT(Other than Schwarb's bomb) OF THE GAME? JAVY FINGER WAGGING PIGGY PUIG ON THE TAG

AAJ's triple/double off the bench was pretty awesome too

It’s going to be near impossible to pull off a “Boston 2004”. But we can still dig deep and win 2 to take it back to LA. Trying to avoid a celebration in our home. If we can, another conversation begins then.

The free agency stakes have been raised on Arrieta after the Darvish outing. Let’s use that.

It's very likely we get swept, just like we did against the Mets in 2015. Our hitters just cannot hit top flight pitching. It's a complete mystery to them and they simply don't have the skills to adapt/change. Based on what I'm seeing here, it's a really good thing we won it all last year because I'm not really seeing anything that would give me confidence that we will win again anytime soon.

I have the same *avoid them celebrating at Wrigley* goal as you (tho we did it to STL and the Nat's) speaking of them..I am still enjoying the crap out of elmiinating both of them I also look at The Dodger's act of improving their team drastically as a compliment to the Cubs. I mean, losing to us last year,~ a bunch of newbie kids/Rookies~got under their skin so bad it was their motivator.


Also..just have to win 1 game tomorrow.


Then 1 game Thursday


then 1 Sat



and 1 Sunday.


and if we don't, GO AL! (so we are the most recent NL WS Champs lol)
