9/21 Cards (Looper) @ NL Central Champs (Demp) 1:20 CDT, WGN

[Sosa21MVP]

Thank you Cubs for making my weekend not be a total disaster. \:D/

[CubmanPi]

Scorch lineout to LF, Hoffpauir nearly doubles off the runner at second, then a 5-3 groundout.

 

2 out.

[Andy]

So if the Mets lose we clinch HFA? Or do the Phils still have a chance to take it then?

[Guest]

7-4 Braves in the ninth.

Im starting to wonder if Cedeno should be given some starts in October. yeah, Theriots been great for most of the year, but hes been cold lately, and Cedenos been pretty good. When October rolls around, its shouldnt matter what he did in June or July, you have to ride the hot hand, and if that happens to be Ronny, then so be it.

I think if the Cubs win today, lose the rest of the way, and Phils win out, they tie for it.

If the Cubs win, Mets lose, then they clinch HFA over the Mets but MN for HFA over PHI is 1.

Phillies are in first now so with the Cubs win, it would be down to 1, I believe. The Mets don't matter other then they'll be eliminated with the loss. A Phillies loss would secure home field for the Cubs.

[CubmanPi]

Cubs win. Woohoo.

[Brian]

number 17 for demp!

[Guest]

CUBS WIN!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !!

[Master Shake]

CUBS WIN!!!

Since the Cubs won, the HFA magic number is 1 for both the Mets and Phils (94 Cub wins, 68 NYM/PHI losses).

 

So, if each lose today, the Cubs clinch HFA.

[rawaction]

Scrubs Win!

 

That was a weird OF bump at the end with Hoffpauir, Pie and Fukudome.

[Omar]

Nice to know our second string can beat their first.

[Sammys Boombox]

Delgado just hit a 2-run HR. It's 7-6 ATL, 1 out in 9th.

[Guest]

7-6 in Atlanta as Delgado hits a two-run homer.

[CubmanPi]

I like the extended celebration shot. Can't wait for the next games at Wrigley!!

[Guest]

Anyone who has MLB.tv needs to check out this Braves reliever Mike Gonzalez. When he's on the mound looking for the sign he's swaying back and forth and has this goofy look on his face. It's hilarious.

[rawaction]

I hope we hear that crappy song several times next month.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Uh oh, starting tommorow is that last road trip to New York and Milwaukee that could make or break the Cubs season.

[bukie]

One additional thing to note: If they don't care about replaying that last Houston game in regards to HFA, the Cubs have already clinched HFA as they can finish at worst 94-67, and the Mets and Phils can finish at best 94-68.

OH NOES!

 

 

lol :-))

Only thing more annoying than hearing that song after a game is..... well..... not hearing it !!
