Stomach turning. I don't know if Maddon is crazed with pitching changes or its intentional to disrupt timing and momentum.

I totally volunteer but not opposed to someone of higher stature creating the thread.

Like last year , bat not withstanding, i think i believe the cubs are better with heyward on the field.

My lineup vs crenshaw game 1 would look like

Rf heyward
Cf happ
Lf zobrist
Ss russell
2nd baez
1st rizzo
C Contreras
3rd bryant

1.Zobrist
2. Bryant
3. Rizzo
4.Contreras
5. Happ
6.Baez
7.Russell
8.Heyward
9. Lester

Overall i know the cubs didnt beat a team like the dodgers in a series practically all season. Doesnt mean i dont think the cubs cant win this series. Bryant may wake up as the postseason stretches on.

The dodgers lineup isnt fearsome, they have a guy with 39 hrs but doesnt bat for average. Two pretty good pitchers in krenshaw and their other all star pitcher. But the the "second allstar" is having an outlier season ,maybe it gives hope he can revert to his prior production.

Yu darvish is their 3rd starter, his stats this season dont parallell his seeming reputation as a good pitcher.

Sorry i dont know all the dodgers players names off the top of my head yet.

wow, what a fun game to watch, gut wrenching and exciting, fantastic finish.

took 4EVER to finish, i'm dragging at work today!

The Dodgers are very good. They are not unbeatable, but it will be a tough series. My biggest concern is actually the Cubs' pitching. They pretty much used everyone the last two days. Is Lackey going to start game 1 or will it be someone on short rest? I think that rain really hurt the Cubs as I think they would have won a game 4 with Roark pitching for Washington.

that was a crazy game, lots of twists and turns
