I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

Comfortable win for the Cubs as the Cleveland bats were silent. I actually don't think Arrieta pitched that well despite not giving up a hit until the 6th, certainly not compared with what I saw of him last season. What he did manage though was come up with a great pitch when he was 2-2 or 3-2, which he was a number of times.

I don't follow baseball very closely, but am I correct in thinking that neither club has what normally passes these days for an overhyped, prima-donna superstar?

Jon Lester and Jason Heyward of the Cubs would fall into the overpaid category

Was Heyward on the Braves at one point?

Cubs can't afford to lose tonight. Can't see them coming back from 3-1 if they do.

Not going well at all

[PeterWithesShin]

Cubs look fucked.

[The Left Side]

Yep they can't handle the curve ball

Cubs look fucked.

They've been very disappointing

Cubs reminded me today of our 2 recent FA Cup Final "efforts".  Just ain't happening.

[PeterWithesShin]

Back to Cleveland we go.

Last night's game was a nail biter, Cleveland just breeze through our bats while our pitchers are made to work for everything. The heart can't take much more of this, still we made it a little more respectable.

I'm about an hour behind the live action as I was watching something else but that is awful by the Indians in the first inning to gift the Cubs 2 runs.

Middle of the 3rd (i'm slowly catching up by skipping each break) and i'd fancy we're going to game 7! Genius by Tito, bring on a reliever who promptly gives up a grand slam.

I'm not going to jinx it pws
