Pirates lose

 

Eh. I think I wanted them to win? We're so far ahead in the second WC now that I'd rather see the Pirates make the division close and have to fight to the last day than see the home field or second spot come into play for us.

 

I guess I don't care because we're talking about playoff scenarios and the Cubs have entered Magical Christmas Land and everything is beautiful.

 

i said earlier that i should be rooting for the pirates to win those games but idc because i irrationally want the improved aesthetic of being in 2nd

 

it's annoying being awesome and being in 3rd place

 

also while a home game isn't that helpful, it's much cooler if you can go to it

 

Rooting for the Pirates tomorrow just so they get one game. Would be nice to get the Cards one loss. I'm still holding out the slim hope of winning the division.

My thoughts exactly. Coming into this series I wanted to sweep Milwaukee, and have STL or Pitt take 2 of 3. Didn't really care who. That way we were guaranteed to gain one game on one and two games on the other. We have 7 left vs Pitt and 6 left vs STL. The only thing we can do is win a ton of games, and the rest will take care of itself.

Winning the WS as the first third-place team to ever make the playoffs would be pretty sweet.

 

 

2013 Reds finished 3rd and made the playoffs losing in the WC game.
