8/24 Nationals (Bergmann) @ Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 WGN TV

I know its a long shot, but Toronto is trying to make some noise in the AL wild card eh?

 

I think ESPN would explode if two teams from the AL East made the playoffs and neither were the Red Sox or Yankees.

 

The Blue Jays are 7 back in the Wild Card, though. That ain't happening.

 

 

I think ESPN will explode if the Red Sox and Yankees don't make the playoffs no matter where the wild card comes from.

Kearns grounded to shortstop , safe at first on a fielding error, E5

[bhogg]

Ron said that Kosuke was working in the cage with Perry and watching video to try and stay on the ball more. I think he stayed on that one.

 

Brenly was talking about Kosuke talking with Lou about working on his swing, too. Apparently he shortened up his stride, but that one looked like Kosuke had a long stride.

 

The stride looked long still, but his step seemed to be quicker.

 

 

 

I think the key was that he didn't bail out.

Yikes Aram

Not gonna get the GG with that combined with Wright's play from last night.

[Fred Hornkohl]

A Hernandez popped out (foul) to shortstop

[Brian]

Pittsburgh     2
Milwaukee      2  7th

Atlanta        3  8th
St. Louis      6

And watch, even after another fantastic start by Harden, all the talk will be about Sabathia. Plain and simple, the Cubs got the better end of the 2 deals. Hardens numbers are better than Sabathias since the trade, and the fact we control him for another year pushes the trade to the Cubs.

 

Yeah, Harden has been nothing short of excellent but, since the trade, CC seems to get more pub.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Langerhans, pinch hitting for Manning, walked , Kearns to second

I know its a long shot, but they are tied with Bost 5-5 in extras right now. If they win they are only 6 out, and the White Sox are also losing again. Im not sure what Torontos schedule looks like, but if they have more against Boston, its a possibility.

Nah, they'll just talk about the global implications of both teams missing the playoffs. And they'll discuss how they missed during the entire playoffs.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Perfect pitch right there, Blue.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harris grounded an IF single to shortstop , Kearns to third, Langerhans to second

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ugh, let's not make this interesting.

Because the media loves things like wins and complete games.

[Hall7810]

Angel Hernandez is just a horrible umpire.

[dew1679666265]

Weird seeing the bleachers empty there.

[Keener98]

Ok Im officially nervous

[Guest]

Come on Carlos. Get out of this unscathed.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Take a seat, Cristian!

[dew1679666265]

[haubrich91]

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Where in the world was ball 3?

[Keener98]

That wasnt a strike but after that inning he deserved that call. I hate Angel Hernandez

[Guest]
