8/26 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Giants (Peavy), 9:15, CSN

lol Coghlan

[treebird]

coghlan never would have gotten there if he'd been wearing a heavy constricting undershirt

I can't believe that as we stand here in late August 8 games ahead in the loss column to the closest wild card competitor, that there are people talking about the wild card with concern.

 

I'm not saying that teams have never blown a 7.5 game lead over a 40 game span, just that it's not worth worrying about on a day to day basis until it gets a good bit closer

Oh I'm not worried about it. But had the Pirates or Cardinals not won those game against the Giants, it would be a lot closer than it is now and we'd be worrying about these games a little more. The breathing room feels nice.

This game would be far less annoying if St. Louis would EVER [expletive] LOSE A GAME

With the Cardinals, all you can do is shake your fist at God. No team has any right to play at a 100 win pace with all the injuries they've had.

 

Should we start taking bets on what unsustainable luck the Cardinals will carry all next season?

Well they've had a record hitting with RISP season and now they're having a record pitching with RISP season. What else can they possibly come up with?

Record setting HR/FB%? A team .350 BABIP?

[Guest]

Also, the raucous cheering of the Giants fans is irrationally pissing me off.

 

Yeah, god forbid they root for their team. What a bunch of morons.

[Guest]

seems like we're due for a 9th innings comeback

the same dude who says the cardinals can't be caught is talking about how we should've been rooting for the cardinals to win against the giants because apparently our current similar lead over the giants isn't big enough

My wry self-awareness is going woefully unnoted.

The team that has won 3 World Series in 6 years is much more likely to be dangerous and play well down the stretch than the Cardinals, a team that has a horseshoe up their ass, is going to choke away a big lead.

The Giants will probably win the division then

He's happy the Cardinals won so we have breathing room, because the gap would be smaller if they didn't win. Yet, he also ignores that the gap between us and the Cardinals would be lower if the Giants won.

[Cubswin11]

Man, Starlin really got down the line there

Holy [expletive]! You have no idea what you are talking about. Narrative [expletive]. "The Giants will perform well down the stretch because they are winners!"

the rest of us joke about cardinal pixie dust

 

AR brings it up in arguments like it's a real point to be considered

[Guest]

Romo's stuff is dancing all over the place, frisbee slider to Castro and now that 2 seamer to Rizzo

[Cubswin11]

[expletive] your shift

It's more the fact that they're cheering like it's a playoff game.

[badger1679666666]

Well we might lose this game. WC chances are shot fellas.
