  6. Every one of Craig’s pitching moves paid off today

    Just wanted to put that out there for you

  10. Things that have happened since the last time Cubs won a post season game.

    I volunteered 3 weeks with the American Red Cross in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria

    I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, ADHD-PI, ASD

    I moved from Chicago to Mississippi to Tampa

    I met my wife, got engaged, got married

    I got 3 new jobs

  22. I stayed on the clock the whole game so I essentially just got paid to watch the Cubs win a playoff game. What a feeling!

  26. I have never seen an announcer wanting to jinx a team so badly. Even routine groundballs to short was met with “he’s been perfect so far!” Like SHUT UP! Go cubs though!

  28. Cubs are 1-0 in the playoffs when living im living in the US since 2020. I juat moved back last night. Maybe Ill stay for a bit

  41. As much shit as doomers gave Dansby all year, today I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else out there at short

  49. Craig Counsell deserves so much credit for that win. That call to hook Boyd early shocked everyone, especially for Palencia. But what a call it was, it changed the game, woke everybody up and flipped the momentum completely.

    One more game, come on boys! This doesn’t need to go to game three…
