If they even consider changing the wild card to a three game series, it's not because the Bucco's didn't advance. It's because the Yankees didn't.

^^^^^^^^this.
Here is what I heard at the beginning of the game in the car. I believe it was Kruk "Its a beautiful night in Kansas City. The white terrible towels are flying"...... **** off. Go Stros.

Too bad Volquez couldn't pitch like that a year ago......

There's a lot more pressure in a one game playoff than there is in the first game of a seven game series. He did pitch extremely well though.
It's unfortunate they could not find a way to keep Volzquez. There's a good chance they win the division with him, as the starting pitching depth of the Cardinals proved to be the difference.

Royals come back in the first 2 games to win them. Now on to Toronto. Hopefully the mojo they have going now doesn't stop. Only downside is that Cueto is pitching. When he's "on," he's fantastic. When he's off, he's OFF. He's been OFF lately more than on, with the exception of the last game of the ALDS.

Arietta going for the Cubs tonight. Pretty much a must win for them. They can't really afford to lose any game that he starts. If they win, the Mets will be in deep trouble. Despite winning last night, the Mets are in a position where they either have to win a game that Arietta starts, or win 2 games in Chicago. They can't win the series without doing one or the other.

Hopin' for the Mets. May the Curse of the Goat continue.
I had never seen Arietta pitch this season until the game against the Pirates. That dude is amazing. But he's also due for an "off" night. Not saying that night is tonight, but he's due.

He pretty much had an off game in his last start against the Cardinals.

It ain't the goat, it's Fred Merkle from the grave. The Cubs won't win until they make a visit to Merkle's grave, and beg his pardon for the bs he had to endure because of the Cubs gamesmanship.

He's getting lit up again. Maddon left him in far too long vs the Bucs, and he hasn't been the same since. I understand why Maddon didn't want to take him out, but he went well over 100 pitches, and now they're paying the price.
I didn't see that game. Once the Pirates were out, I tuned out the NL playoffs pretty much.

No dog in the fight since the Buccos got eliminated, however I will root for any team that plays the Cubs.
BTW... The goat that cursed the Cubs was named 'Murphy'

Cueto was ON FIRE last night. I was nervous he was gonna **** the bed as he has been doing lately. We figured out how to hit deGrom. I don't think we are gonna sweep the Mets, but to be at 2-0 is a pretty good feeling.
