Baseball [and I think basketball] champagne celebrations after winning each series are so strange.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Save that **** for a championship win. Imagine if hockey teams celebrated like that when they clinch a playoff berth, or through every round won prior to the Cup. It's a bit much.

In baseball, it makes more sense to me because baseball historically makes a bigger deal out of those smaller victories than other sports, especially when you talk about pennants.

Basketball it makes no sense.

 

[Dawdler]

I know the announcers last night mentioned that since baseball is such a grind and a long season that teams like to celebrate the success they encounter along the road.

Hockey there is only one goal The Cup, everything else is failure.

Basketball, meh

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Maeda is pitching like mierda. Another game this guy is going to blow.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Gonzalez can't run, so I don't get why he tried to run home on a grounder. He could've held onto 3rd and get the bases loaded.

And Baez steals home to make it 3-0 for the Cubs.

Not a good start to the series.

 

[The Night King]

This game looks like a comedy skit.

 

[The Night King]

Pederson has no plate discipline.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Bases loaded, no outs. At least tie the ****ing game here.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Seager and Puig both strike out. They can't hit Chapman's pitches.

 

[kingsfan28]

Gonzo comes up clutch.

3-3

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Gonzalez scores two runs! Woohoo! Tie game.

 

[kingsfan28]

Seager and Puig both strike out. They can't hit Chapman's pitches.

The dude has got some mean stuff.

The dude has got some mean stuff.

That he does. Unlike the pitching the Dodgers are getting now. All that work to draw even and this **** happens now.

 

[tsanuri]

Seager and Puig both strike out. They can't hit Chapman's pitches.

When the average fastball is 92 and he regularly hits 100+. That's a rather large difference.

 

[kingsfan28]

You can always tell when the 7 second delayed rule is applied. Pretty sure that dude who grounded out dropped an f-bomb running to first and the sound was muted.

Ha, I was wondering why the sound disappeared for a moment.

And the Cubs with the grand slam on an 0-2 pitch with two outs.

Game over.

 

[kingsfan28]

Son of a *****!

7-3 Cubs

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Back to back home runs. Great work Blanton.

 

[Bandit]

Chokepen

 

[kingsfan28]

WOW! Wheels fell off in two pitches.

 

[The Night King]

You gotta be ****ing kidding me. 0-2 pitch. Piece of ****.

 

[kingsfan28]

Roberts with some questionable moves this inning.

 

[kingsfan28]

Its like watching batting practice now with Blanton.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Does Blanton have money on the Cubs? Good lord this bullpen is a disaster.

Better hope Kershaw can go the distance tomorrow if this is the help they're getting from their relievers.

 

[Dawdler]

that's the POS blanton I remember from his first stint with the Dodgers
