Tough loss for the Cubs, but at least you got a push out of game one. I kind of like the Dodgers in game 2 also, but hate betting against the Cubs. Montgomery has been very good this year, but not sure that's sustainable.
I know it's been a rough patch for you, but you're a solid capper, and things will turn around for you.
Cubs are tough to figure out this year. Starting pitching has been pretty solid, bullpen has been mostly good, and they've scored a lot of runs, but many of those have been in blowout wins. They strike out too much ( could say that for most teams though ), and have been shut out in several games, including two losses to Milwaukee last week. They scored all three runs this afternoon on two out RBI hits, which is a situation they've done poorly in this year. Would hate to see them get swept today, but if it happens, I'll take some solace in knowing you got a win. Cubs season and postseason hopes probably come down to more consistent hitting, and getting Darvish back and pitching well. If they're fortunate enough to make the World Series, it will be an uphill battle for them or anyone else in the NL. Yankees, Red Sox and Astros are clearly the top three teams in baseball this year. I'll gladly take the World Series win, but Torres looks like a superstar in the making for the Yankees.
Just cue the Beck song Loser for me. Better people to tail on here so I will step aside for a bit. I could continue to post for you to fade. I’ll be cool but no point in posting crappy picks. Good luck. I will continue to play and if I turn it around, I will come back but right now worth anyone’s time to even look at this thread.
Thanks cubsfan. I try. I seem to be one of those guys that has a decent run, decided to post, then is generally mediocre at best. I am not as disciplined as some nor as talented. I am fortunate to have a good job and some expendable cash from family because I lose more than I win. But I try to contribute when I am on a good run because I have definitely tailed some good picks on here over the years
