Woo hoo! Fuck you Cardinals

 
I concur with your assessment.

 

[Marciano490]

That's 5 straight games now that've hit the over, hard.

 

[bankshot1]

that was a Reggie Jackson '71 ASG type HR

 

[JCizzle]

Can't wait to see how far it officially went, my goodness

Amazing how the Patriots are called out for cheating for months on end, yet the Cards skated on hacking the Astros and it hasn't been mentioned since it broke
 
So yes, fuck the Cards

Say goodbye and good riddance to the 1968 Nostalgia Era.

It looks like 107 years of buffoonery are about to end for you, Cubs fans; get used to no longer being called "Lovable Losers", I don't see how they don't win the whole thing at this point.

StatCast has that at 419 feet, leaving bat at 113 mph.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Have to give Theo credit; quite a team he's assembled here, they're loaded for years to come regardless of how this turns out and I think they've got this.

It's not your great-grandfather's Chicago Cubs.

 

[54thMA]

 
There might be 1 or 2 from 1908

Start with the pink hat behind home plate.

Then we can make fun of the Indians

Long way to go.

This is off by like 30+ feet.. It has to be

We can do that even if the Cubs don't win it all.

 

[CantKeepmedown]

Agreed. No way that was only 419. That went out of the stadium didn't it?  Where would that have landed at Fenway?

This is true.
 
Though we can never top Bob Uecker doing it

 

[54thMA]

They've got that certain something going for them, nothing like Cubs teams from 2003, 1989, 1984 or 1969.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Seems to be low. Great exit velocity and the angle off the bat looked good too, closer to 45º than Cespedes' was last night. 

 

[54thMA]

Cubs ownership is lucky that thing cleared the scoreboard because if it hit it, it either would have gone strait through or killed it.

In Salem.

 

[Grunherz54]

Wow, did Schwarber crush that ball! Reminded me of Canseco's blast off Flanagan in the 1989 playoffs...

 

[soxhop411]

 
its stuck on the damn scoreboard!

Nice bag of dirt you've got there

 

[nattysez]

The Cubs have never clinched a post-season series at Wrigley.

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Pure, unadulterated filth.

 

[Sprowl]

That's a Stropping young man on the mound.

 

[donutogre]

Man. Blink and you'll miss that inning!

Arietta and Strop ... nice trade, Duke

 

[hbk72777]

Hopefully Steve Bartman and all goats are out of town.
 
I don't even wanna guess what they'll blame if they blow this series

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They've got that certain something going for them, nothing like Cubs teams from 2003, 1989, 1984 or 1969.

They do sort of seem like a team of destiny. But the NLCS won't be easy, and hopefully they then have to get through Toronto.

They invited Bartman to the first game at Wrigley this postseason.
 
He turned them down.
 
Those horrible fans ruined that dudes life over a ball Alou absolutely had no shot at catching. Fuck Cubs fans.

 

[soxhop411]

is someone going to climb up the scoreboard to get the ball?

 

[E5 Yaz]

In case you're wondering, the PH for Strop and the closer will make it 20 players Maddon has used today

 

[doc]

Theo moves to Cleveland?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Over under on the home runs if that series went 7 games? ... 40?

 

[teddywingman]

This Cubs team is FUN.

 

[Savin Hillbilly]

Damn this team is good. Theo, you genius, we miss you.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Assuming no Cubs-like collapse... I am starting to envy Cubs fans and the level of collective joy they are about to achieve.

 

[Al Zarilla]

This seems sorta like a world series, or at least a Red Sox - Yankees type ALCS

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Eck is the best.  NESN needs to pay that man whatever it takes.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Capt. Obvious: That's a huge run standing at third right now

 

[soxhop411]

How much credit does Manny get for helping the rookies?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Capt. Obvious: That's a huge run standing at third right now

Cards won't go down easy.

 

[Average Reds]

Rizzo was way late and way under that pitch. The man throws serious gas.

Bryant hit a 99er.

He looks like a cross between Chucky and Trololo guy.
