8/09 Cubs (Wells) @ Rockies (Hammel) 2:10 WGN

[DiamondMind]

Make it stop.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Smith, pinch hitting for Daley, doubled to right center field Torrealba scored

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm so glad we burned an out last inning to keep Wells in the game. Kid's got nothing today.

This was certainly not Wells' best outing, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he didn't have anything today. There were several bloop hits and defensive mistakes.

[C.C.]

And if this game couldn't be called before, it can be called now.

 

Ballgame.

 

I'm calling it now. Ballgame! Thread can be closed now.

[Flames24Rulz]

Well I said it on Friday that I'd be content with a split. Get it done tomorrow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fowler struck out swinging

Quick question. Anyone know why baseball spilts these series up? How come this wasn't a true 3 and 3?

Right. Because I'm the only one right now calling it.

 

Look at the post immediately below yours. Others have given up today, too.

[Magnetic Curses]

these [expletive] nobodies just keep working ya.

I'd like to know that, too. I can understand 4 and 3, but not 2 and 4.

[Derwood]

Gorzo for the split tomorrow?

It's absolutely impossible to make an MLB schedule that makes any real sense. The math just doesn't add up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonalez blooped a single to shallow center field , Smith scored

[PrimeTime]

LOL

[C.C.]

Wait!

 

 

Now I'm calling the game!

ROFL. this team is laughable

Gotcha. I wish we would have drawn the straw that only gave us 5 games with Philly then.

[Keener98]

We went from having the shallowest playing CF'er in history last year, to having the deepest playing CF'er.

[erik316wttn]

Wait!

 

 

Now I'm calling the game!

 

Hey man, we could still win! Really! We still can!!

[DiamondMind]

What the hell are they trying to steal second there for

[Magnetic Curses]

and they still won't stop.

 

trying to steal a base up 5 will get someone drilled.

[Irrelevant Dude]

It sucks that I can easily see the Cubs being 4 or more games down by the end of this week.

[UMFan83]

Is it pessimistic of me to say that if we can survive this stretch within 4 games of a playoff spot, I'll think we have a decent shot at the playoffs. The stretch I'm referring to is until the end of the WC trip.

 

Assuming today is a loss...

 

1@ COL (0-1)

3 v. PHI (1-2)

3 v. PIT (3-0)

3 @ SD (2-1)

4 @ LA (2-2)

 

Cards have

 

3 v. CIN (2-1)

Off day (their 3rd in 10 days)

3 v. SD (3-0)

3 @ LA (2-2)

4 @ SD (3-1)

 

That's 14 games...if the Cubs go 8-6, and the Cardinals go 10-4 (entirely possible with the ease of their schedule), I'll consider us having a good shot at the playoffs with Z and Lilly back most likely, and maybe Reed back.

To reach 2nd base?

Where are you seeing 4 cards losses there?
