If you want to be that guy, then go for it. I think nearly all of the rest of us are just going to appreciate this for what it is, though.

this team doesn't need big picture reverse jinxes. those are only for use in specific high leverage spots.

[Guest]

Although I don't believe he was on that iteration, Doug Glanville reminds me of the year(s) the bench referred to themselves as the lemons or whatever. When was that?

[snoodmonger]

wasnt that 2003? I remember Tom Goodwin being a Lemon.

[Guest]

Google indicates that it was 2004.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Usually I am anticipating the daily lineup being posted and hoping to see all the guys I want to be in there. At this point, the only thing that could really kill my vibe would be seeing, like, Szczur, or, god forbid, Herrera, in there. I want to see so many guys get ABs, and it's just not possible. So, instead, some have to come off the bench and homer like Jorge tonight. I mean, I honestly don't know what would be my favorite eight-man lineup right now.

[RammyFanny]

That Soler home run made me [expletive] giddy. Cruise into the postseason with a fixed Castro and a reborn Soler AND Baez and watch the scum topple over.

 

1 game playoff

 

Yeah, it sucks.

 

Sucks that we'll have to rip their hearts out quickly and can't give them a slow, painful death over multiple games.

Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.

[JonJayCutler]

I think any of us have the right to be upset that 95-97 wins is only going to get us a one-game playoff on the road.

[Sammy Sofa]

Look at it as an opportunity to heartbreak an extra team.

Sure go ahead.

 

 

Although that's pretty dumb considering for many decades that would have resulted in no playoffs whatsoever. But sure, whine like little babies because the Cubs get to play in an awesome meaningful game in October. Cry about it. Sit in the corner and throw a tantrum. Maybe you'd prefer the 2013 style season. The rest of us will enjoy it because it's freaking awesome.

[Guest]

I CANT BELIEVE WE MIGHT ONLY GET A ONE GAME PLAYOFF WITH 95 WINS

 

IF ONLY IT WERE 4 YEARS AGO WHEN WE MIGHT BE WATCHING THE PLAYOFFS ON TV

if they end up at 97, that game is not being played on the road.

The [expletive] are you talking about with this "on the road" business?

[JonJayCutler]

Lol. It has nothing to do with not being grateful for a playoff berth, it has to do with having a really [expletive] good team at the same time two division rivals are also really [expletive] good. If this was 5 years ago and we'd miss the playoffs altogether, I'd be all the more pissed off.

 

It's definitely possible, if not probable, to only get the 2nd WC with 97 wins. The Pirates only need to go 8-4 over their last 12, even if 2 of those losses are to the Cubs at Wrigley, to end up at 98.

 

Breaking news: it's possible to enjoy and appreciate being in the playoffs, and yet still be annoyed at not being in a better position going in.
