I cant understand how you can lose to this dodgers team. They have nobody in their lineup other than Turner that is any good. I know they have good pitching, but still.

Cubs have lots of question marks with the pitching staff heading into next year. Theo and crew need to be on their game since they literally have zero arms that are producing out of the minors.

I think they’ll trade for a starter with a roster player. They’ll find pen arms. They’ve work to do but as long as the core is here I’m not concerned

Agreed. 3 straight NLCS. There are a lot of fan bases who would give their left nut for a team/organization that good.

Double agreed. Happy the Cubs won the division, but actually I'd rather have seen Nats vs Dodgers. Woulda been a better series.

After the Cubs won the World Series, I actually wondered if it would kill the up and down emotion of watching them play going forward.

But I quickly learned that losing still really really sucks.

Sorta related to this...i think White Sox fans started to sound dumb boasting about 2005 in about 2010 so I figure there's about a 5 year win again or shut up rule.

They were still boasting before oct. Oct of 2016.lol

as long as the same core still together and their still contending you get to puff your fan chest...

But

If they fail to make playoffs the next couple years and core players start leaving...

Gotta start over from scratch as a fan

I read somewhere that the White Sox have never been to the playoffs in back to back seasons. Cubs just made the final 4 three straight times. White Sox fans should have zero to say.....next time they catch lightning in a bottle for more than a year, come talk to us.

Is Contreras the only Cubs hitter who hits to all fields?

I think the Cubs need to look hard at their hitting coach over the winter for his role in this. When they try to pull outside pitches INTO A SHIFT maybe it's bad coaching or just willful players.

Other than Almora's two run homer in Game 3, the Cubs have scored all of their runs by solo homers. This is one of the most pathetic displays of hitting I've witnessed by a playoff team. The Cubs could of had allstars from top to bottom on their staff and still lost this series.

5 games almost in the books

8 runs
7 home runs
16 other hits
5 walks

8th place hitters in entire playoffs.....0-32

Wash series wasn't much better....just an awful 10 game stretch

Honestly I'm not that upset. Dodgers are just clearly the better team. Cubs still haven't scored on their bullpen where as the cubs bullpen has obviously been a bit of a train wreck. Only thing that is kind of annoying to me is the way the are going out. Was a pretty great series despite the cubs losing until tonight. Game 5 is obviously going to leave a pretty sour note on the whole season even more so than just losing.

Hopefully the loss will give the team perspective and a goal headed into next season. I mean this series was better than the 2015 NLCS IMO and obviously the cubs came into 2016 on a mission.
