What do you mean the Cubs lost?!  Of course, they didn’t.

I mean you have Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo at the corners, Javier Baez and Addison Russell up the middle, and an all-around good starting staff.  How could you lose with that lineup?

Not to mention this team made it to the World Series last year.  Everyone on this team has playoff experience. In the ninth, we have Wade Davis – one of the best closers in the game.  The Cubs couldn’t have lost, it’s impossible.

Who even is Justin Turner again?  Isn’t he the guy that looks like if the Lucky Charms guy didn’t shave or get a haircut for two years?

One thing I know for sure is he didn’t hit those homers.  They must’ve changed the dimensions to Dodger Stadium, it’s the only way.

Also, isn’t the NLCS a best-of-nine?  I’m pretty sure the NLCS is a best-of-nine!  Someone call Rob Manfred!  Where are you, Rob?!
