this is the biggest cub game of my life.
all post season the cubs have won due to their pitchers and catchers.
both sides of the battery have smashed important home runs, hits, and sac flies.
tonight sorta catcher kyle schwarber, who i told you about way back when, is batting second and DHing
everyone expects him to be the power supply tonight and his numbers are the best in mlb post season history
but i expect willson contrares to finally break out offensively
he’s already picked off a bunch dudes, but his bat has been silent
he’s a rookie, but he can rock.
i love that javy baez is batting last. he’s been the biggest disappointment and
joe is clearly challenging his machismo
i expect that challenge to be accepted.
my hope is the cubs score early and often.
pictured is the super talented Preston who i went to the Cubs game with Keira Anne and Miss 604 way back in august. he said he did something compulsive and got what looks to be front row tix for tonights game. lucky duck!
You must be going bonkers, my friend. What a game. What a series. I hated the Cubs all through the NCLS, but after the Dodgers were (inevitably) eliminated, I’ve been rooting for the Cubs all the way. Good luck tomorrow.
