Haha Hader giving up the winning run and Yelich striking out looking was too great. Feed me their sadness.

White Sox & Brewers eliminated in one day makes me happy.
Next to go is Astros, then this series wont be all too bad after that. My support has shifted from Rays to Red Sox now.

That Schwarber guy on the Sox seems pretty good and he leads off
2021 Postseason Games - Butcher - 10-19-2021
It's been fun to watch Schwarber with the Red Sox. They've really embraced him there and he seems to have developed into the player we all thought he'd become. Too bad it's with another team.
He'll always be a Cubs legend for 2016, but damn...
2021 Postseason Games - funkster - 10-19-2021
Yeah, it sucks for us that's for sure.
2021 Postseason Games - 1060Ivy - 10-19-2021
Glad Scharber has “broken out” and having another successful playoff run. Sad that now Cubs have shed most of their power, Schwarbs isn’t around. Cubs had too many, power/K guys and Schwarber was headed for another increase in salary so Cubs didn’t act to resign him. Now, the Cubs seem to have a few contact guys but limited power

And that Okie looking Joc Pederson only has 8 RBIs so far in the playoffs
Glad he got all those shitty at bats out of the way in April this season

Love what the Braves are doing to the Dodgers but holy fuck, it's brutal watching what looks like 90% of their fans do the chop. What in the fuck is wrong with those motherfuckers?

Yesterday's games were brutal. The Braves completely blew an opportunity to go up 3-0 and put an absolute stranglehold on the Dodgers. Red Sox had a late lead, too. Oof.

Can't tell if you're saying the games sucked or it's the outcomes that you had issues. I'm assuming that you were fine with the games played but simply were looking for Braves and Red Sox to win.
Would say that the games demonstrated the great importance of depth in bullpen and stud position players (Mookie, Bellinger even with a 165 BA for season, Altuve, etc) - Cubs had both elements for part of last season but not in the "right" mix.

If you were looking for exciting games without caring about the outcome, then they were great. I just hate the fucking Dodgers and Astros.

In the only playoff game of the night, the Atlanta Braves can win their first pennant in 22 years with a victory in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series at Dodger Stadium.
2021 Postseason Games - funkster - 10-21-2021
Still time, but Dodgers fans betting the come back the other night being a massive turning point in the game may have been celebrating prematurely.
2021 Postseason Games - mrfelina - 10-21-2021
Can't even imagine the overwhelming support Atlanta will have against Houston if that ends up being the WS.
Atlanta looks for real--they're going to have to be to silence those guys.
The only storyline for a Houston win will be Dusty deserving a WS for the years he's been at this?
And on the other side will be rooting for the Braves players and having to stomach their asshole fans. Cognitive dissonance anyone?
It's better than Astros vs Dodgers cause you have no team to root for there but man... strange times.
2021 Postseason Games - Butcher - 10-21-2021
Atlanta was basically an inning away from this series being a four game sweep.
They really need to do away with their name -- it's the only way to get rid of that embarrassing chop/chant. It's incredible that it's 2021 and this is still an issue.
