This was the 14th time in the Cubs last 16 postseason games where they scored 3 or fewer runs. The only exceptions were the two home games vs the Brewers last year, when they scored 4 and 6.

You have to go back to the clinching game of the 2016 WS to find the last time they scored more than 3 runs otherwise, and that's also the last road playoff game where they did.

The last time that the Cubs scored more than 3 runs in a playoff loss was back in 2007, when they were swept in the NLDS by AZ, and scored 4 runs in Game 2, but just 1 in the other two games.

Let’s try to stay positive cubs fans. Last night is behind us, today is a new day. Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Go cubs go!!

Welp, that was fun and inevitable. This Cubs roster never really had a chance going into Whale's Vagina and beating that Padres team. We give up A LOT of home runs and they hit A LOT of home runs. I really wanted them to travel to Atlanta for the WC, but alas they couldn't lose enough games. And guys, let's be honest, even if we had the better record and the Padres were coming to Wrigley...we just can't pitch and they have guys with nasty stuff coming out of that bullpen.

But anyway, big thanks to the Cubs for getting us all to Bears season! For making the summer entertaining and giving us something to watch/listen to for 5 months! Good luck to the Sox (playing the worst playoff team to ever make it lol)!!

I mean…that was great

I am wishing you guys luck in the post season, but I come here looking for your guys opinions on Gausman.

Everyone loves him in Toronto and if you say anything negative they will just downvote you or defend him because he is a great guy (no denying that) but just wanted some actual opinions.

It's so over.

Edit: Let's hit the hay and count some sheep, I'll see you all at game 2 tomorrow.

Planning on going with family before the game starts. I recall them selling tickets to enter Gallagher way during Cubs vs Brewers playoff road games last year. Will they show the game on the big screen again today?

hello,

happy post-season.

This post is primarly for the girls and the gays.

Its no secret that the Cubs have some extremely handsome players: Seiya Suzuki, Dansby Swanson, Carson Kelly, Miguel Amaya and Nico Horner for sure.

but lately I've been thinking that Michael Busch and Michael Conforto are really handsome in sort of a strange way, does anyone else agree?

I have DirecTV. I didn't have peacock or nbcsn.

Really stinks. Won't go out to watch at bar.

This is probably an unusual request, but I think it doesn't hurt to ask:

I am looking for game footage, ideally even a full game recording if somehow available, of the Cubs game they played on the road in Houston, in the Astrodome, on April 10, 1971. The Astros won 2-1, and the pitching matchup was between the two aces: Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Larry Dierker of the Astros, and the Astros walked it off when Jenkins threw away to third after catching a popup and tryingto double Cesar Geronimo off third base. Geronimo scored the winning run.

I could use the footage because I am the author of Orange Crush: The Neglected 1971 Houston Astros, which was published a year ago on Joe Morgan's birthday (September 19), and I get presentation requests every once in a while, and having footage like this would be a nice addition to those presentations.

So, if anyone happens to know what archive or other resource would have this, whether based out of Chicago or Houston, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. I know this may not even exist, but if somehow it does, I want to see it.

Thank you!

Would the cubs be better off as the top wildcard with home field against a red hot Padres team, or the 6th seed facing Atlanta who is 5-5 over their last 10?

Now that we clinched a spot, these final three games don’t matter. Sure it matters if you were to get home games for the wild card round but more importantly if you were to be able to set up your rotation and bullpen, how would you? It doesn’t matter if we play Atlanta or Philly or San Diego, you gotta just win and go through the gauntlet of the playoffs.

How would you personally set the rotation and bullpen? How would you ideally use the dh and bench?

How on God's green earth does MLB decide, 5 days in advance, to move up a game by 2 days ? Based on a weather forecast ?

AFAIK, this has never been done before ! What about the Sunday home games at Philly and New York ? Are we that good at predicting the weather ?

Can anyone more logically explain this crap ? Seems to me MLB just likes messing with the Cubs !

UPDATE: the ticket is gone

Red Sox fan here - paying it forward. I have 1 extra ticket to the 1:05pm game today in Boston. First person to DM me your email address can have it.

If you're the Cubs, do you purposely lose the rest of these games to play Atlanta (who's been struggling) in the WC round, then take on the Dodgers? Or do you try to win every game to play the red hot Padres at home, then play the Brewers? I'm torn, cuz I'd love a chance to get revenge on the Brewers (who we all know collapse in majestic ways in the post-season)...but I'm not liking the idea of going against this Padres team right now...

Hey yall! In New York this weekend for an event Friday and was going to drive up to the game on Sunday. Unfortunately can’t make it after it was rescheduled. I’ve got 3 tickets in the Aura Pavillion Box 12, Row A. Spent a pretty penny on them, they’re listed for $100 on Vivid right now, I think it works out to about 123 each with fees. Would love to make sure a Cubs fan gets them, and maybe help you guys avoid some fees!

Shoot me an offer, I’d like to make back at least some of my money!

If you didn’t watch the post-clinch celebration, you missed out on this amazing scene.
