These teams are more evenly matched than you seem to realize. I wouldn't have said that sans Manny, but now they have a good offense to go with their good pitching. Game 2 of a series shouldn't be must-win (I hate 5-game series) but this one is for the Cubs. The Dodgers are flat out dominant at home.
Disagree on the must win. I'll like the Cubs chances with Harden against Kuroda, and also with Lilly against tbd or a three day rest Lowe. The Cubs have been pretty dominant at home as well, so that is meaningless at this point.Even with Manny, I really do think the Cubs are that much better. With that said, though, it is possible for them to lose. It is also possible I am wrong. Regardless, if the Cubs lose I'll tip my hat to the Dodgers and wish them luck in the next round.Not worried though. Talk to me tomorrow!

Not really, no. And I realize this goes against everything I've ever experienced as a Cubs fan. This team is just different. Until they are officially eliminated I will think they have a chance to win. They have earned my trust this year. I feel like this is how the Red Sox were when they won.Again, this is not to slight LA. And I might be wrong. But I truly feel it is the Cubs year.Not worried at all?Disagree on the must win.

I'm not taking it as a slight. You seem like a good fan of your team.Not really, no. And I realize this goes against everything I've ever experienced as a Cubs fan. This team is just different.

I was thinking earlier about this. The Dodgers are winning postseason games, my Redskins actually look like a good, strong team. Is Reagan president?
I'm loving the Maddux in the 9th move by Torre. Hard not to be a bit pessimistic as a Cub (player or fan) to be down 7-2 in the bottom of the ninth at home and then see God-in-Cleats stroll out to the bump... This Dodger team has a bit of magic surrounding them these days, could be fun!!!
me and my brother have standing room only. please lets see the good Z tonight. billingsly is tough.
lolZambrano is one of the most overrated pitchers of the last 10 years, especially in must-win situation
When has he pitched in a must win situation?
Actually, I just looked. I forgot how much he pitched in 2003.He was not good in the NLCS, that's for sure.
Didn't see any of the game, was Dumpster getting squeezed or just flat out missing?
He was all over the place. Actually wiggled off the hook a few times, before the levee broke.Green94 said:
if anything, lowe was getting squeezed early on.
The Dodgers started that game flat on offense. They were getting handed baserunners left and right and couldn't do anything with those opportunities. If Loney gets out rather than hits a slam, I don't know what happens to that game because that HR sure awakened them, and they badly needed it. They looked tentative and jumpy at the plate before that.
I also am not worried. Now, if they lose Game 2, I will definitely have my hand very close to the panic button (you guys should get one of those; comes in very handy).Not really, no.

He sure clutched there!
Manny!!!
My god, it's ####### ridiculous.Reminds me. I meant to bring up the HR from last night. I still can't believe he hit that pitch out. Amazing. Not only that he hit that particular pitch out, but how he did it.Manny!!!
I know some will scream about steroids, but I remember Mark McGwire hitting one like that in '98. The ball was literally around his ankles and he nailed it like a golf ball far over the left field wall. That was as ridiculous as the one Ramirez hit last night. Ramirez might be a d-bag, but he sure can hit a baseball.Sonny Lubick Blow Up Doll said:
