9/27 Cubs (Lackey) vs Pirates (Vogelsong) 6:05 p.m., CSN

[soccer10k]

The Cubs won their 100th game tonight, which is the first time they've done that since 1935. One time, when I met up with Fred, he spoke fondly of that season. He said it was a special year for him because he also turned 40 that year. It's pretty fun beating the Pirates so the Cubs should probably do it again.

 

CUBS are 100-56 when they play a baseball game

CUBS are 47-21 in the second half

CUBS are 15-9 in September

CUBS are 13-3 against the Pirates

CUBS are 43-32 on the road

CUBS are 16-12 when Lackey starts

 

Go CUBS !!

This seems ominous

[Hairyducked Idiot]

A win and some help tonight eliminates the Pirates. Not as much fun as eliminating them last year was, but it'd be nice to make that an annual thing.

This seems ominous

 

Didn't seem so when he said it. Said they checked him out because he looked hesitant swinging on Saturday and everything was fine and he expects to hear more at the park today.

Love that Lackey gets this lineup...

 

[BigSlick]

lol at Lackey getting the surrender lineup AGAIN. well, good luck buddy

[UMFan83]

Hey what are you complaining about Lack, you got 5 starters in there.

[squally1313]

Also great that our 'surrender lineup' contains the 18th, 24th, and 47th best offensive players in baseball, per fWAR.

[The Savior]

and the best player/fielder per my heart

[UMFan83]

Wow, 13 years ago today the Cubs clinched the division beating the Pirates in a game started by....Ryan Vogelsong.

[David]

bs call

[Schwarber Fan]

Coghlan hitting nearly .270 as a Cub this year.

[UMFan83]

Wow it was so obvious that Polanco should have been on 3rd that CSN changed their graphic showing a guy at 3rd before having to move it back.

[David]

javy *really* hates having to take a base

[David]

guy walks kawasaki on four straight and lackey goes up hacking

 

guess he figured he'd groove him one

[CubinNY]

I kind of get the feeling that Len and JD would be just about anywhere else right now.

[David]

COGSSSSSSSSSSSSss

 

ALMOST A GRAND DONG!

[CubinNY]

Cogs is my pick for playoff/WS hero out of nowhereTM

[Schwarber Fan]

Happy trails, seal boy.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Vogelsong doesn't seem to have good stuff tonight

[ScrubMD]

Coghlan has been mini-Rizzo lately.

[JonJayCutler]

Not only did Coghlan's antics during the clinch celebration improve my opinion of him, but now OPSing over .900 in September.

 

You can stay, Chris.

[CubinNY]

Lacky is getting lit up this inning

[USSoccer]

is it me or has Javy gotten HBP a lot more than usual over the past month?
