Kyle Schwarber is in contention as DH for the World Series if the Cubs advance.
A Game 6? In Chicago?
Regression to the mean. There's nothing left to punish. Let it go.
re: Schwarber - I'd be surprised. Nice rumor. Just don't send Heyward up again this series. He goes in for defense only.
Good shout. Thanks mate. You don't know how much this means. It should clinch on Game Six this time.
Why? See above. Game Six.
Here's a good take from the rumor wire discussion:
Option A: Kyle Schwarber REALLY is healthy enough to play in the AFL and to consider playing as DH in the World Series. Absolutely best news to happen to this team since it was clear they were going to be a playoff team.
Option B: It’s all smoke and mirrors, but will greatly distract from the goat, black cat, playoff fouls-into-the-stands, 108 years, etc. Less pressure on the young guys as this week moves along.
Instead of talks about how the Cubs can’t overcome a century of miserable baseball, all the talk will be about Schwarber’s potential return.

Here's a fun one:
7 months ago someone simmed a year of Out of the Park Baseball (It's a Football Manager like game for Baseball) and you'll never guess who made the World Series. Spoiler: It's the Cubs and Indians and everybody complained about how unrealistic is was.

Zac Rosscup? (shakes head) Not this year. Still healing up.
Love the final answer. I'd take a clinch on the fifth game at Wrigley. That would be sweet.
First we have to win one more NL game. First things first.

If I had one of these, I'd be wearing it now.

Dude just proposed on national TV at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland, ring, knee, the whole deal. She said yes.
Here's to a successful night.

2 - nil Cubs. First inning. One out.
For a start, this will do.

Great start against Kershaw. Deep breaths
No sign of tightness from the home team. 30 pitches for Kershaw.
Four full innings of excellent wonderfulness. 4 - nil.
Hendricks on cruise control. He's just chillin' badass so far tonight. Kershaw will be into 100 + pitches before long.

CUBBIES
Clayton Kershaw has thrown 8 curveballs so far. The Cubs haven't swung at any of them. None of them have been for strikes.
And now he's sitting down. Nine more outs.
Past the deadly "five outs left" barrier. DP via Baez. Chapman dealing.
That's how fast a curse can die. Just like that.
