I like you dude but you are really becoming obnoxious with this

I have been obnoxious. Lot of it have to do with couple posters (one actually sent me nasty msgs - didn't know ppl actually do that lol) but I've respect for many of you guys - so I shall stop.

Anyway, it's a great rivalry. Hoping for a rubber match.

You a good dude no harm no foul

Absolutely no reason to not let him start the 8th IMO

I match whatever the top wager is I tip my cap and get even more pumped for NHL/NBA season.

I agree but like I posted earlier I think Maddon had his game plan made up and he is going to stick with it. Hendricks for 4, Lester for 3, and Chapman for 2

The Warriors are hardly the only team known for losing a searies after having a 3-1 lead.

Just recently. Since they were such a super team, favored against everybody, and had the 3-1 lead.

Different sports, why would I, as a Warrior fan, care about a baseball team losing a 3-1 lead?
Losing a 3-1 lead has happened a bunch of times in baseball.

I'm not saying what I said applies to everyone. I'm saying you can tell why some of those rooting for the Cubs are doing so.

Gotcha, I am a longtime Giants fan who knows what it is like to root for a team with a long WS drought.

I hear ya. I'm a fan of a sports team in the same (NHL/Blues), so I definitely feel ya.

For MLB, I'm a Cardinals fan, and of course I'm gonna root against the Cubs (rivals), but if they win, good for them. Sure has been a long ass time. Lol

How did you pick your teams?

From St. Louis. Cardinals and Blues have always been here. Grew up watching.

NFL/49ers: No NFL team. My dad is a Packers fan (his dad was as well). Grew up watching all the Brett Favre vs. Steve Young battles w/ my dad. I really enjoyed watching Young and Rice. Mainly Rice. Started watching their games and been a fan since.

NBA/Magic: No NBA team. Really enjoyed watching Shaq and Tracy McGrady. Stuck with em since.

Gotcha, I like asking the question.
I am from the Bay Area and ended up a 49er fan because my dad grew up in SF and has rooted for the 49ers since the beginning. He played some high school games at Kezar. I chose the Giants because one of my sisters who is 10 years older than me started taking me to games when she was in college. The Warriors and Sharks ar because they are the only home teams. I really got into the Warriorsdurign Run TMC and I have been a Sharks fan since year one.

You could be right looks Ike he is getting Chapman ready to start the 8th

I think so.

Appears that way especially with the heart of the order coming up. Limiting CLE in the bottom of the 8th is HUGE

As long as he is healthy, there is no way he doesn't come in for those innings.

cant blame him for staying with lester or going with chapman (since its the heart of the order)

6 outs away
