    Yeah, he did, and far more than what managers normally do. I think if you asked him if he'd rather walk to the mound to make a pitching change or get a sloppy blowjob from Jessica Alba he'd have to ask Friedman than take an hour to think about it.

    To be fair, he had Maeda starting, and he knew that was dicey. So he needed as much flexibility as possible. It was a losing situation from the beginning. The alternative would have been start Kershaw again on short rest, and throw all the usual starters in the lineup. And if that didn't work, we'd really be screwed with Maeda having to start an elimination game in Game 6 in Chicago.

    I wouldn't blame Roberts. SP and BP did not pull through again.

    Jessica Alba is like a baseball groupie or something?
    Damn...I guess someone had to take over for Alyssa Milano.

    Is this still a thing...really?
    With our rotation as it is, having Kershaw then Hill with a rested Jansen is absolutely the only way to go at this...the only smart way, that is. Greatest odds of success, hands down.
    Whether it works is another thing...but this is The Art of War.

    That's fine you read it but he missed the point. It wasn't the start of Maeda's outing that was questionable, it was the end.

    I didn't miss the point Darth. I didn't agree with it wholeheartedly. There's a difference.

    Exactly.
    Only a bully is afraid of a fair fight.
    Only a wimp cowers at a challenge.
    Folks that want us to be so great that we dominate the team with the best record in baseball are deluded in their perspective.
    Its either we dominate the cubs or we suck.
    How bout we go toe to toe.
    After so many decades of never being good enough to actually go toe to toe with the best in the game you would think folks would be happy.
    This dominate or bust mentality i can understand from the young guys who are brainwashed by the modern sickness of our world. But the old guys as always should know better.

    Even in the Laker glory days, there were multiple times we were down to having to win 2 games in a row to win a playoff series or win it all.

    Right now, it is really simple. Win the next two games with the best SPs we got. That's the bottom line. It is really all that matters.

    backs up against the wall
    win tomorrow... and we have all the momentum
    chicago doesn't want a game 7
    and by chicago i mean the players, the fans and the city
    win tomorrow... and all the whispers will commence
    the whispers of generation past and present
    "is it happening again?"
    doubts will begin to creep in
    win tomorrow... and game 7 is ours for the taking
    we've been in this position before
    twice actually
    an elimination game
    win or go home
    the cubs have not
    win tomorrow... and put them there
    all the pressure will be on them to live up to the hype that everyone's generated about/for them
    no one picked us to get this far while everyone expected them to
    win tomorrow... and say fuck the world
    they're the bully
    were the poor victim
    but this victim can punch them in the mouth
    see what they do when they taste their own blood
    when a whole city/fandom goes into "here we go again" mode
    only one thing left to do...
    win tomorrow

    The most hilarious part of this series is the bitching and crying during Games 2-3:

    "The Umps are on their side"
    "Whole system is rigged"

    then when when Adrian gets called out...

    "Why are you crying? That's baseball!"

    I woke up feeling confident today. Dodgers in 7. Kershaw shuts the Cubs down and Hill shows why he was one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. Jansen continues to be lights out and the offense scores just enough off two righties.
