10/4 Cubs (Haren) @ Brewers (Lopez), 2:10, WGN TV

If Arrieta is Arrieta it will help dull the PNC crowd, hopefully limit the home field advantage

 

the home field advantage is barely a thing. we just want a home game because that's more fun.

 

Also sudden death past the bottom 9th and beyond sort of rule.

[Careless]

I'm still a bit upset that the Rockies couldn't pull one win out of their ass against the Pirates.

Shouldn't Pirates fans be saying that about the Reds and Brewers?

Or the Cubs saying it about the two they just lost to them?

Or how about the Pirates beating Kershaw twice during a 17 game stretch where he had a 1.26 ERA?

[Fred Hornkohl]

When Arrieta pitches..............

 

CUBS are 9-6 (.600) at home.... 16-2 (.889) on the road.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Soul]

Best stat ever Fred!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 65-15 (.813) when they get a quality start.... 31-50 (.383) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have 81 QS in 162 games.

Haren has 6 IP, 1 R, and he's out of the game. What more do you need ?

[bukie]

Oh good, I was worried what the reactionary freaks were going to do with their time with the Cubs clinching two weeks in advance.

[davell]

You want home field because its extra revenue that helps payroll out a bit.

 

Also, Dan Haren wound up being a quality pick up.

[UMFan83]

I think if we would scored more runs than our opponents in the 65 games we didn't, we would have secured at least home field in the WC game already

[ScrubMD]

Nice career, Haren!

joey votto just had one of the longer ABs i feel like i've ever seen. ended with a walk.

I hope you're right.

Reds finally get a hit and Phillips gets thrown out trying to stretch it to 2nd.

 

It would have been 1st and 3rd for Frazier if he just stayed put at 1st. [expletive] hell

If its the only home game we get, it's not going to help a ton obviously. But a long postseason run will help out a fair amount. I actually believe Ricketts when he said payroll wasn't set yet and I'd bet that this is why.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 44-27 (.620) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 52-38 (.578) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

That Wallapop ad left out the part where the guy blindfolded the woman and threw her in his van.

[davell]

By the way, I'm basing that comment off an assumption on my part that a home game at Wrigley for the 1 game playoff is more than it'd be in Pittsburgh. The teams split it evenly, after half of it gets taken by MLB off the top for the player pool.

[UMFan83]

last chance for number 100. I'm sure Berry is in the game to get into scoring position specifically to give Bryant a good shot.
