Loveable Losers v. Mary Harts - NLCS

Obviously, I do hate the Cubs. A lot.
But I'm also finding that this Dodgers team is fun to root for. Other than Joc, who seems like a real tool.
The Cubs haven't scored in a lot of consecutive innings if you discount Blanton's blow-up.
They need to hit Urias tomorrow or they're in deep shit.
Also A-Rod / Papi in the booth could happen in a few years... mmm
A-Rod needs to immediately replace Harold Reynolds on MLBN. A-Rod's great and Reynolds is the absolute fucking worst - if you don't count Pete Rose.

As someone who tires of any team that is crowned champions at season's start, fuck the Cubs, and especially fuck Joe Maddon's smarmy attitude.

The Cubs have faced 4 lefty starters in the playoffs. They have 4 runs in 26 innings, and 3 of them were from Arrieta's bomb off Bumgarner. Pretty much shut down by Moore, Kershaw, and Hill. We will see if they can do any better with Urias.
I gotta tell ya, when a team looks as unprepared for the situation at hand as the Cubs do, I gotta look towards the manager and wonder what he could be doing better.
I'm in on this.
And yes, as others have said, A-Rod is a natural, he's great actually in this new role of his.
More please.
I hate ARod as much as anyone else, but he continues to be really good in the booth. He deserves a national job, preferably Harold's.
Many of us legitimately love baseball and are junkies for it. Most of us would suck at that job.
I've been rooting against the Cubs all season...can't stand that they were anointed as the champs months ago, and I'm tired of hearing all the time "well, you're a Red Sox fan so you must be rooting for the Cubs, right?" I can't stand their fans and the icing on the cake is Joe "I Invented Baseball" Maddon. I want to see them lose just to see Maddon lose.
Also agree on A-Rod, hated him as a player but he's damn good on TV.

No way dude. I feel like Arod would totally watch a Padres v Rockies matchup on a Tuesday afternoon and be really into it.
All of us would be better than Harold Reynolds, who is factually wrong a remarkable amount of the time. Firing him and replacing him with dead air would immensely improve MLBN.
Well, sure. There's a case in point of someone who loves baseball being shitty at that job.
I forget where I heard it (Podcast? MLB Radio?) but someone recently compared Jeter and A-Rod. When it wasn't game time, Jeter generally treated baseball like a job and it was noted how he supposedly doesn't even pay much attention to baseball or his former team anymore. By contrast, A-Rod has always been a huge baseball fan and would often be into watching some random game on the clubhouse TV.
Holy shit.
Fuck A-Rod. And fuck the Dodgers.
It's fucking A-Rod. If Terrell Suggs or Bucky Fucking Dent or whatever didn't barf all over themselves in front of a microphone would you be tripping over yourselves about the guy? He's fine at his announcing gig. But it's fucking A-Rod. A-Rod. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
And the fucking Dodgers? For fucking fuck's sake you fucking fucks. If you want to root against the Cubs, whatever. But the fucking Dodgers? Holy shit.
Once Vin called his last game, the number of redeeming things about them turned to nonexistent. Except Dave Roberts, but they are still the fucking Dodgers. Fuck.
The fucking Dodgers. For fuck's sake. I cannot believe this fucking shit that I'm fucking reading.

Jesus, Pete Rose looks like shit. If he were to attempt a flying dive into 3rd base today, I mean it could literally be fatal.
If you were watching combat on the Eastern Front during WWII, who would you root for because that's where I'm at, so I picked the Dodgers; as they say, six of one, half dozen of the other.
Lackey is already yelling at teammates, bitching to the ump...so it's the first inning of a Lackey start
Jesus. What a treat it is to see Lackey raging on the mound. I was hoping for a Dodgers run, though.
I dislike Utley, so haha, but the kid Urias is fun to watch, trying to see if/when he's balking.
