Guess Espada hasn't been fired....yet. Don't have a good feeling about this series. I'll be surprised if the Astros win this series.
Truth is the Cubs are a good team, and ANY 3 game series can have any combination of W-L results. There is no result that will change my mind on this team. What will? Leave Jose Abreu on the bench at least 2 and hopefully all 3 games (Brown said give him time off) Make better pitching change decisions including resetting the big 3 w/ rest or ideal situations as needed. Show some life, emotion, and pride on the field Have better PAs w/ RISP See some hope of "early season Bregman" leaving and "rest of season Bregman" arriving. 3 quality starts. Oh, and of course winning helps.
He’s been dead for thirty something years and he’s Canadian, but when I think of Chicago, I still see John Candy. I guess because he was in a lot of movies made by Harold Ramis and John Hughes.
Also, when I think of the Cubs, I think of the live episode of E.R. on NBC and they had the live Astros/Cubs game on a television in the background and that was the game the Astros clinched the central division title.
I look forward to the creative ways the team will find to shoot themselves in the dick this series. Like the punchline of a joke delivered by Anthony Jeselnik, you don't know exactly what it's gonna be but you know you're gonna cringe and maybe laugh a little.
Roy-O was pitching his old fashioned bourbon at the Whiskey Riot Festival this past weekend. Was cool to see him there, and he was super friendly/approachable. Random aside, carry-on!!
