There's a difference between using the sample size of 6 (evaluating the Cubs vs Sox) or a sample size of 162 (the records of the Cubs vs the Sox) to evaluate teams. To be honest I think record + run differential is better indicator than just using the records. But it's very hard to win 97 games and by any measure, the Cubs had an elite team.

I agree, it is a bigger sample size. The NL leaders had the chance to play many more BAD teams than their AL counterparts. That's another reason why you can't settle on record for the better team.

The Cubs could very well be the best team in baseball, but record isn't a way to determine that as currently constituted.

GO CUBBIES! Only 355 more posts to victory before game starts

Going to be a wild game. I think low-scoring, tight, very few hits.

Cubs 4
Pirates 2

Pitchers duel tonight, but I think Cubs come out on top.

It's hard to argue w/Maddons' comments yesterday regarding making this a 3-game set...doesn't seem fair that 1 team who would most likely beat either Mets or Dodgers should have their season end tonight.

Go Cubs!

It's almost time. I am excited and super nervous. This is going to be a stressful, intense, nerve racking game, doods.

GO CUBS, GO! WIN THIS SHIT!

Just because everything dictates it will be a low scoring first run, sudden death type of game....it'll be an 8-7 game just because just like there's no crying in baseball...there is also no predicting it either.

Announcers reporting Bryant in LF and La Stella at 3B. I get why Schwarber in RF, but why the other position changes now?
