It's show time.

Mr KLC · 10-20-16, 07:08 PM

Awesome moment at Dodger Stadium. Eric Karros and Steve Garvey surprise the crowd by throwing it to Vin Scully on video board.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 07:10 PM

Fowler leadoff single up the middle.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 07:15 PM

Rizzo drives in Fowler with his 4th straight hit, a double, 1-0.

Where are all the 'Rizzo is worthless' folks?

d2bets · 10-20-16, 07:18 PM

Maeda doesn't even want to throw pitches. Guy is hot garbage.

jjgold · 10-20-16, 07:21 PM

The Dodgers have no pitching this series is over

stevenash · 10-20-16, 07:22 PM

Turn this game off right now, this is going to get real ugly real fast.
Cubs all night.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 07:23 PM

Gift strike 3 way outside to Baez.

Dodgers could steal this game if it stays close late in game

MickeyMan · 10-20-16, 08:29 PM

That hbp might be heyward's best AB these playoffs.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 08:57 PM

Tied game

d2bets · 10-20-16, 09:05 PM

This is the slowest low-scoring game ever. On pace for over 4 hours. What?

JMobile · 10-20-16, 09:13 PM

Cubs offense chocking.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 09:26 PM

If the Cubs can't get any runs off of Blanton, they are done.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 09:33 PM

Russell deserves Heyward's salary.

Heyward is hopelessly bad. Why Maddon keeps trotting him out is mystifying.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 09:38 PM

Dodgers have 4 more chances though, long way to go.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 10:03 PM

You can expect Heyward to do nothing.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 10:09 PM

Jason Heyward looks like a thin shotout Barry White wearing a Cubs uniform.

He literally can't hit the ball out of the infield. How can they keep trotting him out there?

d2bets · 10-20-16, 10:12 PM

Baez got him! Clearly out. What a play.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 10:13 PM

Baez is the best infielder I've ever seen personally. Off the charts.

JMobile · 10-20-16, 10:13 PM

That review has to determine as an out

d2bets · 10-20-16, 10:20 PM

Lester has allowed 0 or 1 runs in 12 of his last 13 starts. Is there a better competitor on the mound?

JMobile · 10-20-16, 10:20 PM

Wow, 2 balls were not called strike for Lester. Unreal.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 10:24 PM

Can't figure out how Contreras is not in the lineup every game. He's going to be the regular catcher next season and should be one of the best hitting catchers for awhile. Great athlete too. Nobody talks about him but he'll be a huge piece for Cubs for a long time.

d2bets · 10-20-16, 10:34 PM

Defense is the biggest disparity between these teams.

jjgold · 10-20-16, 10:37 PM

Glad I laid off this game I probably would've lost

JMobile · 10-20-16, 10:38 PM

Bryant is fast as fuk

Yes, he sure is. Between Baez, Bryant, Contreras -- some unusually special young athletes.
