Chicago Cubs @ Washington Nationals NLDS Game 5 gamethread

Only one game left in the Divisional Series and it's a winner take all between the NEETs and the Cubs. Can the NEETs break their own slump and finally take a playoff series, or will the Cubs punch their ticket to the NLCS for the third straight year?

Cusbsbros check in, Glendale here. Tonight's our night

Hopeful whoever gets in fucks over the dodgers in the NLCS. Got to see da land get blown out last night and it felt great.

The Dodgers choke in the playoffs

I hated how everyone felt so righteous when the Cubs won last year that I want them to ot get far at all this time around.
also nats is my team so i want them to win anyways.

The last time the Cubs won the World Series before last year, you were considered undefeated in World Wars Germany, the Cubs were due.
Plus you have to admit, even will all of baseball's history, that was the greatest Game 7 ever witnessed

South side Chicago here. I've been triggering the faggot Cubs fans on my kikebook all week.

Go Nats.

Cubs will win

Jesus I feel sorry for someone who actually lives in the South Side. How can you breathe when the air there is 90% bullets?

Very edgy stay obsessed

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.


no team is OWED a world series. There have probly been better games, but it Was pretty good I'll let u have that

>South Side
Pay your taxes you leeching parasites.

>Implying being due, means being owned
>Probably
>Can't even give a counter example, which don't exist.
As expected from a retarded phone poster.

taxation is theft

Why are people saying DC hasn't won a WS since 1924 when they've only had a team since 2005?

facts are facts

yes. those statements dont contradict themselves.
Nats havent won a trophy since 1924, so?

The Washington Senators that became the Minnesota Twins.

What I don't get is how DC lost a sports team since they're a large market

My internet is back and I'm ready to shitpost
>Nats desu senpai

We lost 2 baseball teams. Keep up.

G I O
I
O

Bring back the Senators. They must rebrand the team.

Do people in DC ever experience snow? I always thought it was a warm weather city

Yes they have snow. It's hardly a warm weather city. It's in the Mid-Atlantic so they would get a little bit of snow.

Beverly/MTG is comfy desu

>boreball
*kneels*

suburbs report in

villa park here

I'm helping issue these out at the park right now

Elgin but live in NYC here. Posting from my phone at the Cubs bar.

Every 4-5 years, we'll get a 2-3 foot snowstorm called a N'oreaster and it cripples the entire region for a week.

That's kind of mean :-(

Gods work!

oh wow more misogyny in DC, not surprised.

wait can you save me one and send it to germany?
They look super comfy.

I wish there was a Cubs bar in Minneapolis. This area doesn't have a lot of non-natives, so we're stuck watching goddamn MN teams all the time.

This pregame show sucks. They're showing a damn video of Pedro Martinez feeding an ostrich.

I'm watching the local DC pregame show on MASN. Pedro is extra cringy.

Dingers Crossed!

cubs desu

Do they have a Bears meetup? Check there. I'd imagine all the ex-Chicago people go there on Sundays.

I feel glad know that Willie Banks was born, grew up, signed with the Cubs and played his career out, retired, got old and died before the Cubs ever won another World Series.

The Dodgers choke in the playoffs

Alary's is the Bears bar the Twin Cities, but it's also a cop bar so I'd prefer to stay away.

I'd rather choke in the playoffs than go 108 years without winning a World Series.

Every time I've visited Minnesota from WI the people I met there were real nice but there was something in their tone that made me feel like a foreigner and when am I leaving.

Wind is blowing out so it's a hitter's day. Perfect time for the Cubs' bats to come alive.

Keep your head in the game and punch that ticket to LA.

Well lads, is the Thursday Night Football game thread going to get more posts than the BIGGEST CUBS GAME of the year?

Bryce harper will not let this team down.

He is a future cub after all.

Which fanbase is the angriest at Dusty Baker? Giants? Cubs? Reds? Nats?

Of course. I like football, but I don't get our collective obsession with the sport in this country.

Probably even though NFL sucks, Eagles and Panthers are pretty good right now

whos brehs rootin for?

Wisconsin people are fucking pathetic.

ya same

If Harper doesn't hit a home run today he should quit baseball.

Starts in five right

I'm still mad at Dusty because he was a terrible Cubs manager.

Just a close riveting game. really don't care for either team.

CUBS.

>these cubs aint loyal

Just watching because it's baseball. Doyers are going to tear apart whoever wins this

being sober sucks. impossible to enjoy anything, even baseball

Doyerbro hoping for the best opponent for a great NLCS, I want a doyers v yankees WS now, then the choking memes will leave us and forever be with the tribe

Dodgers raped the Nats last year
Dodgers would've raped the Cubs were it not for refball

i love you german bro.

it's chilly in dc tonight.

Sucks to be an addict

tell me about it

>refball

>implying it is even possible for baseball to have refball

Is LA the most delusional fanbase in baseball?

Nats

Dodgers 5 WS rings
Nats: 0 playoff series WINS

I don't know if the Cubes can pull this through anymore, but here's hoping for the best.

Go cubes.

EYAGHHHH

I'm rooting for the Nats because its a bye week for the Dodgers

>refball

lol, the baseball knowledge of lifelong Doyer fans

Fucking Foo fighters again

FUCK TBS

why are Cubs haters the most rabid, seething, group of people?
i've never seen a team be hated in such a psychologically disturbed way..

big ups to berwyn, brookfield, cicero

that would be the walgreens.

for me, its the cubes

Does anyone anywhere even like the foo fighters?

elmhurst

>cubs win
>>dodgers lose nlcs

>nats win
>>dodgers win nlcs

what will it be lads?

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a blue cleated shoe stamping on home plate - forever.

foo fighters are playing a mile away from the stadium tonight. maybe this will be our good luck.

Bloomingdale
Go Nats

Reminder this thread is for the serious discussion of major league baseball and not for fun-posting, waifoos or food posting. That is all.

Will it be effectively wild Gio?
Or just wild Gio?

Good luck to both. I'll take either over the Doyers, hope Wieters does stuff.

dupont circle.

Sam Ryan is a man

C*bs will get anally annihilated
t. white sox fan

if god cared about sports notre dame would win every game

>ubs hicks are uter

what did they mean by this?

That's a ridiculous comparison. Nationals are a much newer team.

Yeah that's the Blackhawks thread. Come watch a Chicago team that can win more than one title every 100 plus fucking years.

hope you're not standing

Will Maddon bring in dinosaur boy to choke away another game tonight?

>19.29 era this postseason.

glad we have an expert on anal annihilation here
