KS looks like his back

[coltsfansince65]

Judge with a triple to the center field wall. 2-1 Yanks.

[coltsfansince65]

Lester pitching a whale of a game. 120 pitches & he looks pretty fresh. 2-1 going to the bottom of the 7th.

I have feeling you guys may sweep us, after losing Friday I felt like that all weekend. That game Friday was something else. Sometimes you just get those feelings that it isn't your teams series. Everytime the Cubs do something well, the Yankees respond with something better. We will see how these last 3 Innings play out.

Report I'm hearing is he developed a migraine after playing golf the day before & didn't show up to the ball park for yesterday's game.

 

I heard that too but I don't know how much I believe it. If that was the case, I would figure his suspension would start today. The GM said it started yesterday. 

 

I believe there is more to the story.

Lester has kept the Yankee hitters off balance all night. It's gonna come down to the bullpen for sure.

I know options are limited, better start shopping.

 

Would you like Harvey? I'll take a couple of your valued prospects.

What happened to Harvey? He was Good in 2015 the year you beat the Cubs and went to the World Series. He is only 28 years old as well.

Ellsbury with a 2 run HR. 4-1

[2006Coltsbestever]

That's ball game, Yankees just hit a 2 run HR! Man we got swept!

Good Ol' Grimm.

Our BullPen is a huge Achilles heal this season.

I can't disagree with you there.

[coltsfansince65]

That was a great play by Baez

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's still real early in the season but this was a big series IMO playing a redhot Yankees team and we laid an egg. I still think the Cubs will be fine but I have my concerns with the Bullpen and our bats at times.

[coltsfansince65]

I'm heading to bed. Goodnight all. If the Yankee bullpen blows this one please don't wake me I'll find out in the morning.

I don't think you have to worry, Chap will probably come in and throw 103 and strike out the side in the 9th

He had Tommy John surgery. He has not been as dominant since. But he also is not a team guy. He does his own thing. He is too self-centered. The year the Mets won the pennant, his agent was pressuring the Mets to shut him down. Yet, he did not want to get out of that World Series game when the manager tried to replace him. He ended up giving up the lead and we went on to lose the game.

 

I thought we should have traded him when his value was high (last year).

Last year, I proposed that we trade Harvey to the Rangers for one of their top prospects named Joey Gallo.   

[HOZER]

Boy I hope Rizzo can get out of this funk soon.

 

Grimms the pitcher the Cubs sent to Iowa last week then brought back today due to Andersons injury. Not a fan.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Here comes Chap, turn out the lights on this series

Is he the guy who gave up the 2-run HR? I was not watching closely.

Yes I do. We would've never won the WS without him.

I get where you coming from because you didn't want to sign him long term but without him we don't the WS. He was huge out of the Bullpen.

I do too but the Cubs hadn't won in 108 years and he was a huge part of that so I love the guy  

[2006Coltsbestever]

4-2 now, Chap struggling a bit!

[NFLfan]

Chapman may not be automatic after all.

[NFLfan]

27 pitches by Chapman and still only 1 man out!

 

4-3 Yankees with the tying run on 3rd.
