8/8 Giants (Cain) @ Cubs (Hendricks) - 3:05 pm CT ABC

[Guest]

imagine if we didnt have to face the cardinals and pirates a million [expletive] times

 

bring back the balanced schedule (i think we had it in the 90s right?)

 

We're about 36 hours from having the 3rd best record in the NL(4th in MLB!) and still being 3+ games back of the 1st wild card.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 45-2 (.957) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 15-46 (.246) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

That's quitter talk.

 

meh i guess they'd get to face all the crap teams too..but it screws all three teams in terms of wild card implications

It's Motte time.

 

This weekend is a dream

 

Reminds me of the 08 series against the Brewers.

 

Yep, was thinking about that this morning. Went to the second and third games of that series.

 

Who's hitting 2 home runs tomorrow including a grand slam a la Jim Edmonds?

mmmmm schwarber and fowler gently colliding

[DiamondMind]

I'm impressed. We are legit playing better than them.

[Schwarber Fan]

Pirates have to go to STL and then NYM next, so hopefully we can gain some ground next week.

[DiamondMind]

Crawford just can't help himself.

Probably, but their rotation makes for some tough games.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

My Cardinals friend to me a couple weeks ago, "Bryant, Soler, Russell, Schwarber..there's no way all your prospects turn out legit."

 

Well, let's see: even if we don't go back to the Brett Jackson era, there's a pretty good bust case for Baez, Alcantara, Edwards, Almora, and Johnson. And Soler isn't exactly tearing it up this year.

[ARCubsFan]

Why no Justin Grimm here?

[DiamondMind]

Should I be nervous yet?

[Sammy Sofa]

Nothing's easy

 

It's still 8-4. What the fart is wrong with you. Always with the hysterical shrieking.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hmmmmm..... CUBS haven't given up a 9th inning run since last Sunday at Milwaukee.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Why no Justin Grimm here?

 

BECAUSE IT'S 8 TO [expletive] 4.
