I love the Cards, but I think that Arrieta is a lock to win game 3, but Wacha has been good in the postseason, and MIGHT be able to match him.

If the Cards win tomorrow, I would like their chances...except for the fact that it is Lance Lynn and he has never been a dependable postseason guy.

I think this series could go five.

Never now how things will shake out but I feel like the Cubbies will be relaxed with Jake on the mound and hopefully get a win. Also Lester has been very solid lately so could end up real nice, 3-1 Cubs series win. My only beef with Lester is his insistence on Ross catching him. Lester had the 12th worst run support in all the majors. The big reason in my opinion is with Ross and him in the 8 and 9 holes its like were playing with 7 batters and two automatic outs. They are scoring opportunity killers, big time. Hopefully it won't matter as I am sure Joe won't make a change at this point in the season, but man oh man those two are really bad for a lineup.

It's amazing how little run support he's had this year. Lester/Ross is part of that problem but top of order hasn't helped him much either.

I still haven't figured out what causes Bryant's road struggles but happy we get him and Rizzo back to Wrigley with this thing 1-1.

Cautiously optimistic.

Am I the only one concerned about how the Pirates were starting to hit Arrietta in the WC? There is no such thing as an automatic W. Oh wait-sure there is. Prior, Wood,... Oh yeah, wait.

Hoping for the game 3 W but nervous as all get out.

He got hit hard a couple innings there but he settled down and pitched a shut out CG. All vs a team that is really good and saw Jake a ton this year.

He is on his regular rest schedule at home. Cards didn't do much against Jon and Kyle held his own for 4 2/3.

My worries personally aren't about Jake.

Would love to see Rizz and KB break out of their slumps tomorrow. Dex is the game changer, if he's on we don't lose.

That lineup is Damage Incorporated! Fantastic W. One step forward.

Making history. Scary.

4 games from WS and can't help but be facinated by this run, the curse, back to the future, championship drought, will there be spectacular collapse

Just imagine in good position is series, Cubs player makes fielding error - hearts sinking all over wrigley :D

Think their best chance vs Dodgers rather than mets

Could you imagine celebration if they go all the way ?

I'm not Cubs fan but can't take my eyes off them at min

Big BttF fan, always thought that bit was funny, but now they're in the damn playoffs. Feels like a team of destiny, maybe that's what's motivating them?
