Yeah it's definitely go-time now. Seems to be little question the Cards will be winning at least 3/4.......high probability of a 4-game sweep. Pirates have packed it in.

 

They'll need it. All 3 of us have home series followed by a long stretch on the road(where we're the only one of the three that is any good). If we're still up more than a game by Friday then I say we're up 4 games on everyone by the end of our trip to StL.

I'm perfectly willing to get on my knees and beg Z to start pitching better. Good Lord, if ever we needed him to dominate it's now.

Agreed. This week the Cubs just need to try to hold on to the lead in any way possible, because after Thursday the Cubs play nobody besides St Louis in playoff contention.

The Cardinals meanwhile will still have 3 against Arizona, 5 against the Cubs, 3 against the Phillies, 3 against Milwaukee, and 1 against the Mets. The Brewers would still have that 4 game series against San Diego along with 4 at Atlanta and the 3 against St. Louis.

That's why I honestly don't mind if the Cubs drop a game between now and Friday, because I think they have the easier way in after that.

Yea, the Cubs have the easiest way in starting this Friday, but that kinda creeps me out. All these bottom feeders the Brewers and Cardinals will be beating to keep pace with the Cubs are going to be the same bottom feeders that all of a sudden spring to life and play spoiler against the Cubs. I'd really enjoy seeing the Cubs put to rest the whining about their easy schedule by definitively destroying the Dodgers and gaining a game of ground this week. (I know what the odds of this happening are, but the series hasn't started yet so I can still dream.)

I just turned on the tv and went looking for WGN, and when I got there and found the Jerry Lewis telethon lasting until two hours past when I thought the game was starting, I about had a heart attack. Why does this game have to be at such a weird time anyway?!

You answered your own question, its cause of the Jerry Lewis telethon.

I know telethons are for a good cause or whatever, but unless they're selling Cubs tickets, they should really be forced to work around the Cubs, not the other way around.

I've got a good feeling about today. I think Z is going to dominate, like he usually does when he faces LA. The Brewers and Cardinals both have unfavorable pitching matchups as well, so this could be a big day for us!

Wow. I wasn't even close. Murton getting a start against a righty. :shock:

After so many pinch hit homeruns, Lou decided it would take a start or two to justify leaving Murton on the bench the rest of the month.

That WOULD essentially lock things up...and get the Cubs in the hunt for home field advantage through the NLCS...but it's not going to happen, so relax.
