This is Davis' game to win or lose at this point, right?

Jeff Sullivan

8:50

That's gotta be the hope

Brett

8:50

John Lackey may end up trying to close this game if the Cubs keep the lead...

Bobert

8:51

It’s gotten to the point where I’ve changed the channel several times this INNING and watched almost a full show, it won’t end.

Michelle

8:51

You'll be chatting with us again in about 12 hours, Jeff. Hope you like us.

Jeff Sullivan

8:51

I love each and every one of you

Except for this one guy Steve who was swearing at me three hours ago

Fuck off, Steve

John Autin

8:52

We nerds are LOVING this. We're all in with this one.

Jonathan

8:52

Watch this ends up going to extras, decided by position players pitching

series games 1-4 20 runs. series game 5- 16 runs and counting.

Am the only one in Vanuatu?

Jeff Sullivan

8:53

Oh geez

That was an underwhelming inning-ending strikeout. To the eighth! 9-7 Cubs

Hunky Dory

Eminem once rapped, "my music is soothing, but it's also been proven that it can make you want to jump out of your car while it's moving." Never has there been a more fitting description of this game, I'd argue.

Sad fan

8:54

Do most people just lurk in these chats or all we all sending multiple questions/comments?

Jeff Sullivan

8:54

Majority probably lurk but the queue is still moving very fast

Show Hey O'Tawny

8:54

Strasburg???? No way is he possible

Jeff Sullivan

8:55

I was just listing everyone left on the roster

Nate

8:55

My friend who's a bartender in Cubs-ville might be the only guy not complaining about the length. He's making bank tonight.

Bork

8:55

Hello, friends

Jeff Sullivan

8:55

Hello friend

Dan Quinn

8:56

28-3 wasn’t this grueling

Yep.

8:56

I told my dog Id walk her after the 7th. Justifiably, I am now cleaning up a mess.

The Old Buccaneer

8:56

What will everyone's emotional state be when this game gets tied?

Jeff Sullivan

8:56

Blissfuriated

John

8:56

Wow, approaching 4 hours before we even get to the 8th. This is absurd.

Daniel

8:57

We get to watch two more innings of this, lucky us

Will

8:57

This game is just comical at the moment

Cowdisciple

8:57

There are bullpens against whoch a two run lead seems insurmountable

These are not those teams.

Charlie

8:57

when they released the roster, I knew it was a mistake to go with 11 pitchers. Martin's a useful player and all but an extra reliver is more valuable than a 7th (!) outfielder

Jeff Sullivan

8:57

Martin has a strong arm...

...

Raindog

8:58

Forget who's left in the pen; who's left on the bench when Madson is batter #4 in the 8th?

Jeff Sullivan

8:58

Lind/Kendrick/Goodwin. good bench!

Mark

8:58

I’m at the game. Nats fan. Does not feel like it s dragging.

According to the channel guide, "The Postseason Show" is currently showing on TBS. Game has gone on so long, computer now thinks it's a recap of the entire playoffs.

8:59

I'm in Australia. It's 3pm and I have done nothing at work due to the longevity of this game and have zero regrets.

ChatzMcGee

8:59

I don’t even know if I’m enjoying this game. Feels more like morbid fascination at best.
