Cardinals @ Padres later

Wendy Thurm bitching about the travel of west coast teams versus everyone else got a bit of blowback.

That was a really dumb thing to tweet. When one division has the 2 best teams and 3 of the best 4 in it, you probably shouldn't be whining about what's "fair" as far as schedule sequence.

 

Besides this is just the payback for that absurd stretch of teams we faced a couple months ago.

No matter what happens tonight, the Cubs will be closer to the PIrates than the Giants at the end of the night.

also bitching about luck coming from a fan of a team that has won the spin of the postseason wheel 3 times in the last 5

Bumgarner HR

[UMFan83]

Pittsburgh coming back 6-4 with 2 on and 2 outs in 8th. Alvarez up

[Schwarber Fan]

Pirates just don't go away at home. That's why I'm so scared of going there for the WC game.

[Sammy Sofa]

You're scared of literally every Cubs game anywhere.

[Sammys Boombox]

Fiers no-hitter through 7. If Giants hold on and Dodgers lose I would imagine that there will be 3 NL Central teams with playoff odds above 90% and nobody else in the NL will be above 90%.*

He's scared of his own shadow.

[Andy]

Fiers struck out the side in the 8th. 120 pitches but no no still alive.

[Sammys Boombox]

Fiers about to start the ninth. Astros announcers won't say no-hitter. I'm so glad we have Len and JD.

[Schwarber Fan]

The Dodgers are going to miss the playoffs.

[Sammys Boombox]

It's actually not that far-fetched the following teams all miss the playoffs. Considering what predictions were in Spring Training...

 

Nationals

Dodgers

Padres

Angels

Mariners

Tigers

Indians

White Sox

Red Sox

 

If the Angels and Orioles don't make the playoffs all 15 ESPN experts will have chosen an AL pennant winner that did not make the playoffs.

He's VERY scared of clouds.

Mattingly is dead man walking.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Uh oh, Redbirds. We're coming for you. That offense is horrid right now and the LOB% [expletive] is going to come to an end.

[ARCubsFan]

Cardinals are gonna win this game

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Cardinals are gonna win this game

 

Wanna bet on that?

Pretty close. Cubs are 89.4 right now.
