Saw some video on youtube and it points to a broad, but I'm really not sure anymore. Hope they catch the idiot that did it soon.

Thank you to Buck Showalter for bringing in Ubaldo Jimenez instead of Zach Britton.

Yeah, what kind of move was that? No wonder Showalter has never won.

Familia strikes again !

**El Nino** · 10-06-16, 12:04 AM

Familia is straight garbage. Mad Bum is a fukkin' psycho beast.

Both Oriels and Mets lone due to letting a bad pitcher stay in the game with bad stuff

I agree 100% Terry Collins needs to be fired immediately. I've felt this way for a long time but this demonstrates it perfectly. Familia couldn't throw a strike (and he's a massive choker) Collins needed to be able to see that and not let him pitch to the third batter.

Crazy 162 games and it comes down to that in 163

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 10-06-16, 08:51 AM

I'd be scared if I was a Cub's fan

Giants crush dreams

Archie and Cross have you sacrificed a goat yet?

I like the new format, it provides an incentive to win your division. If you don't want to play in a one game series, win your division.

That's taking things too far with Familia. He was great in the series against the Dodgers and Cubs. Obviously last night and Game 1 of the WS were disasters but there's absolutely no reason to blame him for Game 4 or 5 of the WS. Familia is the least of the Mets problems going forward.

**EmpireMaker** · 10-06-16, 11:04 PM

Familia wasn't throwing strikes, even when he needed to, his control wasn't there. He also is developing what looks like a strong pattern of being a huge choker (I know that is subjective, but it is my strong opinion).

a friend of mine says that he is very worried about the Giants. Cubs pitchers will have to carry them through

I know you like the Pirates but thought you might root for the cubs as well

I hope they lose today so we can see how the Chicago fans react

**koz-man** · 10-07-16, 10:31 AM

The Cubs announced their playoff roster for the NLDS.

They're taking 11 pitchers and 14 position players. Left off was the team's top pinch hitter most of the season, Matt Szczur. He slumped down stretch giving rise to rookie Albert Almora Jr. who made it.

Starter Jason Hammel was also left off.

**Cross** · 10-07-16, 10:55 AM

Game 1 is huge, but still not afraid of anemic Giants offense. I will be at game one, got lucky w ticket lottery! Go Cubs go!!!

**BigSpoon** · 10-07-16, 03:39 PM

Phew, that was a tense Game 2. Huge save by Osuna.

**Fire in da hole** · 10-07-16, 11:23 PM

Wow, this may be the cubs year

No...they will choke in the NLCS Doyers/Blue Jays in one of the least watched World Series in the history of bases.

Giants: Jeff Samardzija will face his former team in Saturday's Game 2 of this Division Series starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on MLB Network. The right-hander owns a 3.88 ERA in 105 career appearances (41 starts) at Wrigley Field. The Cubs drafted Samardzija, an All-America wide receiver at Notre Dame, in the fifth round of the 2006 Draft. More > Cubs: Kyle Hendricks, who posted the best ERA in the Majors at 2.13, will start Game 2 on Saturday night (8 ET/7CT on MLB Network). The right-hander led the NL in home ERA (1.32), posting a 9-2 record in 15 games (14 starts) at Wrigley Field. He faced the Giants on May 22 in San Francisco and took the loss in a 1-0 decision.

At 22 years and 163 days old, Corey Seager is the youngest Dodger player ever to hit a postseason HR.

**BarkingToad** · 10-08-16, 01:25 AM

Just a typical David Price playoff performance.
