So I didn’t miss Game 4 of the NLDS.  I wish I would have missed it.  All those fans there on this cold rainy day got nothing to cheer about, well almost nothing.

There was that brief sarcastic cheer when Lester actually threw to first.  For only the second time all year, he took the plunge and bounced one in to Rizzo.  It was funny seeing Zimmerman scramble back in.  Then came the biggest cheer of the game.

Lester actually threw over again, and got him!!!  It took a replay review to get it right, but the crowd went nuts.  Wait a second; how the heck is Lester in the game?

Yes, he relieved Jake in this one.  Jake was a little wild, but only gave up one run.  Addy should have waited back on that one with cinder block feet Zimmerman running.  Back to that pickoff, or at least that inning.

Lester gave up a hit after that then was removed.  Then the wheels fell off.  Walks have killed our bullpen all year, and Edwards has had his fair share. Then there was the dagger.  A deep fly ball that should have got knocked down by that wind.  Not sure if Happ would have caught it as he turned and stumbled his way back to the ivy.  Then it landed in the basket; gut shot.

It went from a very possible comeback from a 1-0 deficit to 2016 NLDS Game 4 comeback mode being down 5-0.  History did not repeat itself.  Cubs got blanked and now there will be a Game 5.

i didn’t want to go back to Washington for one.  Then there’s that win or go home game where anything can happen.  We came out on top the last time we were in that scenario on the biggest stage of all.  Will history repeat itself, this time in a deciding Game 5?

Personally, I think it should be a 7 game series.  After  162, let’s go the full series, not some 5 game BS.  But that’s not going to change any time soon, and that’s ok.  We’ll do what we have to do.

Where is your faith level at with the boys?  I choose to believe.  I’m not sweating it, yet.  With title in hand, I don’t think I can ever be as nervous again.  But they’ll kick in, as the game gets rolling; I’m sure.

How will it all end?  Hendricks vs Gonzalez.  Reigning champs vs first round participant.  How can you not like our chances?

Yes, we have to avoid giving up runs early, get the bats clicking, and not walk guys late; all of these have plagued us at some point this year.  We need to laser focus in; win or go home.

I’m ready; you ready?  Let’s do this.  Go Cubs!

    Jake definitely did not have his best stuff, but he had enough to keep the Cubs in the game. Lester came in and picked off another guy…ho hum…hahaha. Actually, not real sure what the problem is, but if he keeps guys honest, Willson will do the rest. A rare error by Addy gave the gnats the 1-0 lead followed up by a late inning grand salami that barely got out. Here we go again, the roller coaster coming down one of those hills hoping it goes back up in game 5 for the Cubs. I agree that all series should be 7 games, but at this point, the Cubs just need to get 1 more W. Hendricks finds himself on the mound again in a big game. I like his and the Cubs chances. Time to put dusty and his gnats in the rear view mirror. GO CUBS GO!!!
