Duensing with a perfect inning against the top of the Dodgers' lineup.  Probably should've used him more in the postseason after he was the second best reliever in the bullpen all year.

Rizzo 1 for his last 23 with 11 strikeouts.  This team has choked so bad in this postseason.

1 for 24 now.

Baez down looking for the 2nd time in a row...wtf's he doing not swinging at pitches that are actually in the zone?

I mean, you would think down 9-1, his strike zone would be the size of Park Ridge...

I must admit, I am starting to worry we may not see the world series this year. 

3 nlcs's in a row though. It's been a great run so far and I expect it to continue next year.  It'll be our even year. Contrary to what many seem to think, I think the cubs are set up quite nicely.  I'd really like to see 2 good, solid (if such a thing exists) relievers signed tho.

Another Cub finally shows up once the series is essentially over.  Good job on a scoreless inning, Montgomery.

Our run is far from over.

Perfect end to this season to have Hernandez hit 3 HR and knock in almost as many runs as the Cubs scored the entire series.

Not sure I'd consider that a perfect end.  But different strokes for different folks.  ::)

"Perfect" in the sense that it's a frustrating finish for such a frustrating grind of a season that was really only fun for about two out of seven months. 

But you knew that's what I meant, and Bleacher Bums forum is committed to word play on frustrated in-game posts.
