Amazing team all season. Not a fan, but what a great team.

Yeah, I’ve actually heard a lot of maga whining about inflated prices. Some have actually parked their trucks and are driving small foreign cars because of the gas prices. Makes me smile.

Voted early in Ottawa on Tuesday. Let’s see if the Starved Rock Area stays maga or if they’ve learned anything from the last 21 months.

THAT happened quick. A hitting barrage. Didn’t see that coming. I just don’t like the Brewers. Not one bit……

Oh I remember “We are legion. Expect us”. Yes, and then I vividly remember the environment I spent my career in. Cell houses, Chaos, lies, deception. . . . Yeah, I’m used to it

Now that was a great playoff baseball game. Some teams rise to the occasion. Others not so much.

Jon Lester said that all you have to do is “get in” and anything can happen. I generally believe this BUT we don’t have Jon Lester. I would be happy with Jason Hammel starting and LaTroy Hawkins in relief. Well, maybe…..

They don’t seem to even care about home field advantage. Wow, what a let down. And agree 100%. Quick postseason coming up.

Not the ideal time for a slump in the batter’s box and the mound but I’m rather numb to it at this point.

Phillies and Cubs are lacking the “hunger” which is essential I absolutely love playoff baseball. Looking forward to fierce and hungry teams duking it out. Cubs….welp

Late inning relief. Yep. I’m familiar with this scenario.

I am not expecting a wildcard appearance from this team. Pitching debacles/incompetence have already cost us over 20 games. Atrocious and embarrassing

I’ve moved on from watching this team and am feeling much better. Gotta take care of myself.

It will be our downfall this season. It’s been our ball and chain all year. This is our reality.

1988 in the Sociology Dept at Illinois State University, professors told us there will be no more middle class in 25 years. That prediction was so accurate and at 21 years of age, it’s the most memorable statement for me. Anyway….

This is what playoff baseball looks like. Pitching, defense and timely hitting

Yeah, he can buy my 2016 Ram Quad Cab that has a key and had a motor rebuild at 65,000 miles. I’ll stick with my Subaru Impreza that gets 40 mpg and I’ll continue to turn the stop/start feature off. Real easy to do. Touch the screen. Lol

Agree….Pitching most likely will end this season perhaps without a playoff appearance. Being a Cub fan for 55 years, I have seen this story as well as you and many many others.

This is not a serious playoff team. Sooo many flaws that I will not be surprised if they don’t get in at all.

Some of these late relievers need to check themselves and make every pitch count. They’re professionals, right? Blown saves are deflating….inexcusable

Pitching is a major concern. Has been all along. No “Ace” Seems to me they are riding with 4th and 5th rotation starters

I believe winning these types of games is what separates a serious contender type vs, say a .500 team. I told my neighbors that a felt a little ‘16 vibe. Cautious optimism……….

I would always tell people to read the comments of people with their names highlighted in “Red”. It was Good Times for sure. Everyone with a phone is now a genius and a scholar. Comical yet scary. Take care OW

Discussing different Government issues with my wife. There’s soooo much nonsense out there. I told her I’ll have to check Capitol Fax because that’s where you get the “truth”. All this other stuff is just a bunch of noise. Been saying this since early 2000’s. Onward
