9/14 - Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (no idea)

[bukie]

3 outs from guaranteeing that we play a 163rd game

Technically, since the Cards play 4 with the Giants and the Cubs combined magic #s with the two would be less than 4, the Cubs would clinch a playoff spot with a win today.

Even though we already screwed the closer with a 4 run lead, I'll still call this a Screw the Closer game.

Haha awesome, thanks bukie, 3 outs from a playoff spot

Damn, he probably would have had an inside the park HR if he went for it just based on where the throw went.

 

The way he made that turn at 3rd, he was ready to head home. He was going full boar.

You guys this is so fun.

 

I know I say this every game, but imagine being a half game out of the wild card in mid-September and having one of your two decent pitchers start and then having to sit through this for two and a half hours.

the last time Lester gave up as many runs as Wacha did in this game: July 24

the last time Hendricks gave up as many runs as Wacha did in this game: July 26

 

eta: Go CUBS !!

I was just getting ready to say Wacha looked pretty good right after the Fowler strike out.

[Buster]

Never gets old beating up on these guys.

Maybe everybody thinks we don't want to see the Cards in the playoffs because they assume we would prefer a challenge. Edited September 14, 2016 by Bote McBoteface

ahhhh Baseball is good my friends

[mikeyt34]

Nice. Rondon looked sharp. He looks like he's throwing harder than was earlier in the year, looks strong. Magic #1! I'll be at Wrigley in the bleachers tomorrow night!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Gimme dat x in the standings page

(Horse )F(eathers)-Yeah!

Unofficially clinched the playoffs! Although we don't care about WC game.

 

Giants have to lose 3 or Cards 1.

Here comes a couple weeks of games that don't matter. Luckily #wearegood, so we are fun to watch even if the games don't matter.

 

Before fast forwarding to the playoffs, let's see God-mode Arrieta re-emerge and we should be good to go.

So the magic number to clinch HFA until the WS is 11 I think. Considering the Cubs own the tiebreaker on Washington

[Irrelevant Dude]

Here comes a couple weeks of games that don't matter.

I'm still monitoring all the Washington games to make sure the Cubs can get Home Field Advantage in the NLCS, but maybe that is just grasping for a reason for the games to matter.
