9/7 Cubs (Haren) @ Cardinals (Lynn) 1:15 CST, WGN

[Sosa21MVP]

I went to the whole DBacks series and am in St Louis today. Originally I was going to go to today's game, but I didn't want a bad taste in my mouth after that awesome weekend. Stupid me.

 

NON-BELIEVERS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. :twisted:

 

:P

[UMFan83]

Home field in the Wild Card game doesn't mean much to me TBH, and I would absolutely love to face the Cardinals in said wild card game if we can't win the division.

 

I shouldn't be rooting for Pittsburgh should I? Arrieta has been awesome against the Cardinals his entire career and i really want that Cardinal juju bs eliminated by taking them out of the playoffs.

Gotta admit Harens looked pretty decent his last 2 starts. Would really like to see him go more than 5 innings with this big lead.

This is a perfect day for a strike thrower to eat some innings. With Hendricks tomorrow there's a chance we'll have to cash those in soon.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's a shame Cy Haren has already thrown 68 pitches and might not be able to finish off this gem.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

lol Cardinals

I've been rooting for Pittsburgh for over a week. Embrace the dark side.

[ConstableRabbit]

Hahahaha this is awesome. Respect 90!

CUBS are 37-15 (.712) when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 41-42 (.494) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

This is the true Cardinals. This just yet another preview of the fate that awaits them for years to come.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 33-7 (.825) when they get they get at least 10 hits .... 45-50 (.474) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

I kind of think Starlin is back, offensively. There are going to be multiple good players not in the lineup when Schwarber returns. That's a very new and good problem for the Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Pirates lose!

[Guest]

I love Castro. I really like how he's responded to his demotion.

[Sosa21MVP]

Dandy Dan Haren with the SF!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Great day at the plate for Haren!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-1 (.917) when they score 9 runs or more.... 67-56 (.545) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

That's on the Cubs for throwing Hendricks on one day rest.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-10 (.615) when they hit at least 1 sac fly.... 62-47 (.569) when they don't

 

 

GO CUBS !!

Hahahahahahahahaaahahaha!

[BigSlick]

Cubs will be 7.5 back of the division and 4.5 back of the WC lead at the end of this game with 26 more games to play

 

Still obscenely difficult and unlikely but...

He's hitting over .300 since the start of August. Obviously, that's not a starter's full load of ABs. But, still, it's nice to see.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Quick work here, Dan, so you can finish off the complete game shutout.

What? We'll be 2 back of the Pirates.
