Giants shoulda won game 1...cubs only had 3 hits, SF had the leadoff man on base 3 straight innings, Cueto was great

Giants shoulda won Game 2...Hendricks got hurt early... They had chances to score...let Cubs pitchers drive in 3 runs


Giants should win Game 3....

Can't wait to see how y'all fukk this one up

Yoenis Cespedes to opt out of Mets deal with 2 years, $47.5 million left

Outfielder Yoenis Cespedes intends to opt out of his contract with the New York Metsfollowing the World Series. But his representatives plan to wait until three days after the Series for the official move, because there is no incentive to make an early declaration, sources told ESPN.com.

By voiding the remainder of his current contract, Cespedes will be walking away from $47.5 million that would have been owed to him by the Mets through 2018.

Cespedes collected $27.5 million this past season on the original deal, which was signed on Jan. 26.

Mets officials expect Cespedes will seek a five-year deal as a free agent and are pessimistic about their chances of re-signing him. In fact, one reason for acquiring outfielder Jay Brucefrom the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 1 was to serve as a hedge in case Cespedes bolted this offseason. The Mets intend to pick up a $13 million option on Bruce for 2017.

We never needed him. Didn't need him then. Don't need him now. We gon get through this next season without him. We gon make it all the way to the playoffs. We'll be a better team than we ever were with him. CAUSE THERE AINT A DAMN THING HE CAN TEACH US ABOUT WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP RING!

Cespedes and his agent see Heyward getting paid $184 million to ride the bench in the playoffs and figure he's due for about $300 million.

I could see Houston giving Cespedes a huge contract. He'd beast that lineup

Or if Toronto doesn't sign Bautista or Encarcion I could see them getting him

Lotta teams should make a run at Cespedes. Giants, Nats, M's, Yankees; the Indians and Royals could really use him if they wanted to spend big for once.

I'm working in Wrigleyville during Game 3 N Game 5...pray for me brehs

Cubs look like easy money on the over

son 93 wins is not easy

wanna do a ban be? i bet they are under 93

That team is stacked and can withstand injuries. They won 99 games with a bunch of youngins. Schwarber didn't play nearly a full season. Bryant is going to take a massive leap and be a terror. Russell will take a huge step.

Oh, and they added Heyward, Zobrist and Lackey. Retained Fowler for shyts and giggles too.

Bullpen is quietly solid.

That team is winning 95 or more, no doubt about it
