08/08 CUBS (Marmol) @ Milwaukee (Ohka) 7:05pm CDT, CSN TV

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nice quick inning for Marmol there. Just 10 pitches.

[Mizzou]

Reds up 4-2 in the 7th. :(

Why the long face? A Cub win tonight and a Cardinal loss moves the Cubs to 13 games back.

But still 9.5 back in the Wild Card

 

Not a chance.

Oh there's definitely a chance. Not a very good one, but we're not out of it yet. As I said in another thread, a four game win streak could feasibly put us just 5.5 games out of the Wild Card with a month and a half to go.

[cheapseats]

That's a brilliant idea. The thought never crossed my mind. Living in St. Louis, I'm definitely buying Cards playoff tickets when they go on sale.

 

Be careful. Resale for above face is prohibited in Missouri, and Cardinals fans don't pay above face like fans in other cities, anyway.

 

And you've still got to get through the Virtual Waiting Room. :evil:

Come on..let us have a fun..all we need is something like a 38-13 record the rest of the way..let us have some harmless hope until then :D

But 5.5 games out with several teams in between is much different than 5.5 games with no teams in between.

 

There are several different sites that run the remaining games of the season through simulators, and the Cubs make the playoffs less than once in every 1000 simulations.

 

It's possible, but it's about as likely as Izturis having a multi-homer game.

Matt, what kind fo patience was that?? First pitch , almost a double play

[CubColtPacer]

I can tell us one thing for all of us still harboring that tiny bit of hope..right now we are Mets and Pirates fan every night because those are the two teams we don't need to catch..I hope we can add some other teams soon that we can root for :D

[ToupeeOnFire]

Even St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes, has given up on the Cubs.

The Cubs will win just enough for Hendry to justify bringing Baker back. Whopee.

[A New Era]

Matt, where is my patience, Murton.

 

Looks like he DID have that talk with Dusty.

That's why you include a baseball card (or a blank piece of paper for that matter) with the sale. :wink: As for the VWR, I was lucky enough to get all the tickets I wanted this year. When do playoff tickets generally go on sale?

[PrimeTime]

Dusty was pissed at him for taking that walk the last inning

Don't discount that for a minute.

Got that right.

I'm a Cubs fan. How would I know?

 

Tickets usually don't go onsale until just a few days before games, I think. The Mets are virtually guaranteed to have home field advantage in their first series, so they'll probably start selling tickets earlier than other playoff teams.

Oh, that close huh? I didn't realize that. So eBay is off the table. Craigslist, here I come! God I can't believe I didn't think of that. The MLB playoffs are going to help pay off my student loans... sweet.

Speaking of discounts, does anyone know the average salary for a manager?

 

We could get an all-star for what Baker makes.

what other kids of former stars do the brewers have? is Gwynn any good?
