Plethora of choke jobs in the NL playoff races this year...

[Jehrico]

When other teams do it, they call it a "collapse."

 

When the Cubs do it, they call it a "curse."

 

I sense a double-standard here.

Not really a double standard...the two are synonyms in Cubs speak.

I'm well aware of where the Cubs currently sit, but I feel like it's just tempting fate for us to be making this thread. :|

 

the cubs have less than a 1 in 1000 chance of missing the playoffs.

Isn't it less than 1 in 10000?

I would say that the Brewers choke job in the worst in history. I don't want them to even make the playoffs. If they did they would get swept in the first round.

Hell, I remember a year when not only one, but two teams blew 5 game leads with a week to play.

If they play like they did against the Cubs (outside of Torres) they'll make the playoffs.

I'm not sure they can escape the long shadow of Torres for these last few games. Although desperate times call for desperate measures.

Is this a serious post? The last sentence is the only one that's not absurd.

They hit a high of 96%.

 

Still thats missing the playoffs in about 1 in 20 sims. You go to a track for a day and a 20:1 will probably come in once.
