A perfect day for me to scout my MACtion road trip. Get to see UMass and Kent State on back-to-back days!

Question: is there a time it ISN'T Road House time?

Ah yes, the team that's made the playoffs seven of the last eight years are the plucky underdogs. Let's talk for an entire inning about this.

The Cubs record for runs allowed in a postseason game is 13, set in Game 4 of the 1932 World Series against the Yankees. Just in case you were curious.

Well, that was a total disaster.

Well, it's already pretty damn clear that Matthew Boyd ain't got it today. Get Colin Rea up right this second.

Once more into the void we go. Let's go win this thing, Cubs.

A bottle of Malort liquor, a green shot glass with the Wrigley Field clock, a beer stein with a Cubs logo, and a can of Old Style on a counter.

Post-work handshake to celebrate a #Cubs win? Yes please.

That Busch home run was majestic....but I'm absolutely going to be thinking about Swanson's defense until Saturday. Man was that a masterclass.

You're right. My apologies, I'm Some Ghoul.

Tagging myself I'm.....wait a minute here.

Allow me to get on record saying I 100% agree with Counsell going to Keller here. You're facing the top of the order. This is where you want your big guns going.

I.....actually think Nico got under that tag. But is that conclusive enough? I can't imagine it is.

Watching Dansby Swanson play shortstop is such a freaking delight. I missed October baseball so much.

Every time the Cubs make the playoffs, I always think of how stupid I feel that I actively seek out this type of anxiety and stress in my life. Every pitch is just....agony.

In case you were curious folks, those games were:
1945 World Series Game 7
2003 NLCS Game 7
2018 NL Wild Card Game

Woohoo! Four-day weekend!

Both of those hits you just kind of have to tip your cap and move on. They weren't bad pitches, just good pieces of hitting. It was going to take more than one run to win today anyway.

People are saying "Go Cubs," and I heartily endorse this idea.

What on Earth were the Raiders thinking there? What a terrible, terrible call, what terrible execution. That was all so bad.

Kyle Tucker striking out three times against Yu Darvish in the wild card clincher for San Diego is going to cause Cubs social media to implode.

Giving up nine runs to the Mets should come with an automatic postseason ban.

Drinking up until we get a Cade Horton update.

Against a gassed defense? Chance to go up three scores? 1000% go for this. Absolutely the right call by Ben Johnson.

......da Bears?

In advance of this "America's Game of the Week," I apologize, America.

I really thought he got that other foot down, which is just a completely preposterous play.

The NFL is freaking DRUNK right now. This is the witchiest witching hour in history.

Oh gosh Fox is going to be in Champaign next week? Sure hope USC doesn't boat race the Illini.
