Remember how Maddon publicly was critical of a Junior Lake bat flip earlier this season?  Said, we don't do that here. 

Also, do Cubs come out of dugout to greet the guy who hits the homer, as Jays did on Bautista homer?  Seemed like half of the Jays players went on the field to greet him.

If we end up with Toronto, we can welcome home Donaldson and Hank White

Isn't Hank White a coach for the Cubs?

All the bat flips. Baseball should be a fun game, I miss Valbuena's bat flips on singles.

Edit: I just saw a gif of the bat flip. It was amazing, if One of the Cubs hit a HR to win the World Series I hope they top it.

Wow, was that a crazy game!  Texas has now had some epic playoff failure.

Looks like the Cubs are about two innings away from being the last wild card team left.

Keuchel in for the bottom of the 8th against the Royals, even though the Astros still have their closer available.  Maybe it's just me, but does it seem like MLB managers are too eager to get their ace into the game this year?  Price in game 4, Keuchel now...it's like managers watched Bumgarner dominate last year and now they want to look as smart as Bochy did.

Morales just ended the Astros' season.  What a meltdown in game 4, and bringing in Keuchel when they still had good relievers was a really stupid decision.

Johnny Cueto.  2nd-inning HR, but he totally shut them down after that. 

Not sure how healthy he is or will be, and he's no David Price.  But that guy's a competitor and battler, I think he loves playing baseball, and he won't cost Price price.  Cueto likes to hit, he's been good in Wrigley, he's battled the Cubs many times, so he might have a lot of familiarity and comfort level with how fun the Cubs situation could be, and how great it would be to be on a really good team.  Not sure if Kansas City will let him get away, but I could imagine Maddon giving him a strong recruiting sell if they do.  I'd rather have him going in game three than Hammel!  Plus as a trade guy, he won't cost a draft pick.  (Which I still value.) 

Kind of interesting to be in a position where our money, and now our exciting championship/contending situation, could make us super realistic for very good guy.  Don't think we'll need to outbid anymore; I think other teams will probably need to outbid us.

I don't think it is like that, but that it is exactly that.

Cueto on a one year deal would be really interesting. Cueto Ona multi-year deal with his injury history would be scary.

I may be the only one, but I enjoyed the bat flip.  I like seeing the players getting excited and having fun. 

Yep.
