September 28, 2015: Choose Your Own Adventure

Please tell me somebody remembers those books.  You would read a story, then get to a point where you had to make a decision.  From there, based on your decision, the story would continue. Then you’d have another decision, and so on.  Sometimes the story would end early based on that, and sometimes you’d get your happy ending. So here’s the choice for today’s blog…

Bears recap or Cubs recap?

Bears got slaughtered as we all knew they would. In their defense, they have faced quite possibly the 3 best teams in the NFC. They get the Raiders next week. End of story.

Cubs recap would be the better choice. 18 Pirates batters later, Jake was working on a perfect game.  It was broken up in the 7th with a base hit then later he plunked mccutcheon; a double play and he finished with 7 shutout.  Cubs tacked on 2 in the bottom of the inning, and the lead was 4-0.

Arrieta was done, thankfully. Some may even question why pitch him against the Pirates again in the regular season?  What decision would you have made?

Honestly, don’t think it matters. This guy is a stud, and he showed it again tonight.  Are the Pirates going to have a better chance in 163 because they saw him and had 2 baserunners tonight?  What if he got rocked?  Would it have mattered?  Will it matter?

One thing to keep in mind is that the Pirates play the Cardinals for 3 at home only trailing by 3 games. What if 163 is vs the Cards?  Oh by the way, Wainwright is back. Which team would you rather face in a one game playoff?

My choice is the Bucs, and let me tell you why. I think the Pirates are better than the Cardinals.  So why want to face them in a must win game?  Because it’s Arrieta and because it’s only one game. Call me crazy, but I think we’d have a better shot at the Cards in a 5 game series.

The next choice would be mets or Dodgers. Easy one in my eyes. After that is the AL team you’d most like to face.  AL west team would be my choice. Pick your perfect route for the Cubs from here until November.

Of course, as Joe will tell you, it’s one game at a time…and that’s all the Cubs can really control. Yes, they can’t control what happens with the other teams, but they can control their own destiny. They can choose their own adventure.

Tonight it was Jake salvaging a win against our potential 163 dance partner. It was Arrieta getting his 21st victory of the season. It was another magical night at Wrigley.  Another memorable piece of this 2015 season. In 10 days, it’ll be win or go home. I choose win!
