John Lackey officially named the starting pitcher for Game 1. Who would you all like to see starting game 2 and so on? I would like to see Jaime Garcia get the nod in game 2 and go from there. His numbers at home are much better than they are on the road.
Jaime without a doubt. Wacha and Lynn in game 3 and 4, with Waino backing those two up if one goes <5
Go Cubs. It would be the most entertaining series, and ultimately that's what sports are all about. Plus, we won't lose to them. We have too much experience, right?

For me, it depends who we play. Should it be the Cubs, I want Jaime in game 2. Should it be the Pirates, I want either Lynn or Wacha.

Living in Chicagoland, I can't take all of this "you gotta love the Cubbies" stuff! No I don't. Anyway, I would like to see Arrieta give up a 3 run shot that makes him go all John Rocker or Brad Lidge.

I go with this.

I don't have the self-control for this. I can barely watch a regular season series against them. Yes, I know I have a problem.
Regarding your question, I think we make enough plays to beat them in 4.

It's like you're inside my mind

If I knew for a fact we would beat them, I would prefer to play them. Living in an area that is close to 50/50 Cards/Cubs, though, I can't stand the idea of somehow losing. In a 5-game series there isn't much margin for error.
I am unbelievably excited. This is what baseball is all about.
Come Friday at 5, can we Cards/Cub fans make a truce and not enter into each other's threads?
Good luck, Cubs. It'll set ratings records. Guarantee

Exciting for you cause you guys are a year of ahead of expectations. Essentially playing with house money.

Guys, this is a historic series. Our fathers, even grandfathers haven't seen this. I'm not sure I'm ready for it.
Well, it's actually here. I can't believe this is happening, but it could be the first of many postseason series vs. the Cubs.
The starting rotation should be pretty simple for us. Lackey, Jaime, Wacha, Lynn, Lackey. If we got down 2-1 then I wouldn't be surprised to see Lackey pitch on 3 days rest instead of Lynn.
The good news is Arrietta can only pitch once in this series.

Kinda scares me to be honest.
@OnlyCardsTalk: Peter Bourjos said he is NOT on the playoff roster... One step closer to #FreePham!
Also, Mark Reynolds IS on the playoff roster
I read that Jay declined comment on whether or not he's on the roster. I'm hoping he's not cause what does he bring? Nothing at all

It's barely been 12 hours and every Cubs fan I know has already annoyed the crap out of me. I get it, they are having a great year and I'm excited about seeing the first ever postseason matchup, but come on. Actually seen a few people that said we was afraid to play them because they owned us this season and made us look bad. Haha. I said go back and check the records, 11-8 us. Lol
He brings experience, a good glove, and the ability to get on base. Pham has been good for what? A month? And how many postseason games has he played in? I agree we should give Pham the chance first, but Jay has been in these situations and could be a solid backup plan if Pham struggles.
Side note: If a player isn't on the roster can they still sit in the dugout?
A good glove? He may catch everything he gets around, but he's not a good defender. I rather have Pham on the roster over Jay, but don't want Pham starting. I want Holliday, Grichuk, and Heyward starting in the OF with Piscotty starting at first.
Yes, they can still sit in the dugout if they aren't on the roster. I remember AJP going berserk when Adams cranked his homer off of kershaw.
If the question is Pham or Jay then I'm also picking Pham. But I think it comes down to Jay or Moss? And with the game on the line, I'm not even sure Moss can make contact. It's a tough decision because Moss has the power, but I'd go with Jay.
Jay>>>>>>moss. We don't need another all-or-nothing on the bench. We already have Reynolds and Adams. One from each side of the plate that is a threat
Didn't moss hit 2 hr in the AL Wildcard game last year? He has playoff experience in oakland the past few years
