You can't even make this shit up. Unreal. We'll have to wait on DMB and have a little nifty live sim action.

Defense letting down the Sox in that one...Buerhle 5 R only one of them earned though.

[Slyder]

Prior sucks in the playoffs for the most part. Hey, if nothing else, I have my ace going for me if it comes down to a Game 7.

I had my top 3 pitchers with all 3 having 15+ Reg Season Wins going in 3 games and still lost all 3.

[Dam8610]

Yeah, but you started Santana in Game 5. I have Roy in Game 7.

[Slyder]

Games 1-3 da Cubs are 1-5 since the LCS
Games 4-7 da Cubs are 6-1

For the Playoffs:
3-1
4-3 (down 3-0)
3-3 (down 3-1)
Rec not facing elimination: 4-7
Rec facing elimination: 6-0

[Slyder]

Yeah, but you started Santana in Game 5. I have Roy in Game 7.

I went for the kill. Bray choked TWICE.

[Kingdom]

Things are totally messed up when the cubs aren't chokers.

[browntown653]

6-0 facing elimination...and they're not even playing the A's. Wow.

[Kingdom]

lol!

[Dam8610]

The sad part is, even if my team blows Game 7, this won't be the worst playoff defeat I've suffered in this league. That title would still belong to my Nationals from the inaugural incarnation in the inaugural season, when they won 102 regular season games, then went 10-0 in their first 10 playoff games, only to lose the next 4.

[Kingdom]

Who did you lose to?

[Dam8610]

Who did you lose to?

I think it was redsrbetter's Toronto Blue Jays, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

[Kingdom]

Oohhh, ok. Yeah.

[Dam8610]

DMB says he's going to be home in about 10-15 minutes, so hopefully we can get this done soon.

[Kingdom]

He's slow
