If I'm not mistaken, we've won enough games now that the Cardinals can't clinch the division against us this weekend.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Their magic # is 10 so if we lose 1 of these next 2 to the Brewers and then get swept, they clinch don't they?

Nope.

 

Hypothetical scenario:

 

Tonight: Cubs lose. Magic # = 9

Tomorrow: Cubs lose. Cardinals off. Magic # = 8

Friday: Cubs lose. Cardinals win. Magic # = 6

Saturday: Cubs lose. Cardinals win. Magic # = 4

Sunday: Cubs lose. Cardinals win. Magic # = 2

So if the Cubs are 4 games back in the WC at the end of tomorrow, who here is going to start hoping again?

 

Unfortunately, they've already dragged me back in, which will probably make this St. Lous series miserable to watch.

 

And god damnit, quit playing Scales in LF

BTW, Bobby Scales is 13 for his last 70. He doesn't walk or steal bases. Why is he in LF? I mean, this one REALLY confuses me.

I'm not at all disagreeing with you but who would you put in there? Fox has really tailed off at the plate and is a butcher in the field. Lou has said he will only play fox when his bat justifies it. The other option is Hoff who is hittng .220 and equally bad in the field.

 

So the question is which of these 3 is the best option?

Fox, Hoffpauir, and Scales - in that order

 

and Lou chooses Scales nearly every game

It would be nice if Scales would try to hustle after the ball once in awhile.
