9/30 Reds (Stephens) at NL Central Champs (Lester) 3:05 CSN

[Brian]

Our beloved Chicago Cubs stopped caring about the regular season a couple of days ago, fortunately for them so have their opponents.

 

Jon Lester looks to tune up prior to the calendar turning over to October where he will go on a rampage just like last year.

 

Now here's a load of gifs that will be replaced over the next couple of weeks with new memories.

If that's the lineup for the playoffs against right handers not named Scherzer, I'm good with it.

Ol' Drinky Joe finally got it figured out 161 games into the season.

Joe's inner monologue at this point...

 

 

"Joe, what if you do something really crazy and play the lineup that gives you the best chance of winning?"

[itisallpartoftheplan]

11 pitch 1st inning. That moves his average 1st inning pitch count down 54.2 pitches.

wrigley took those out and replaced with plastic a million years ago

Schwarber getting his 30th home run is very aesthetically pleasing to me

I'm not sure I've seen a ball hit there since Sammy in the NLCS (when Lofton was on base and made the, "Holy horsefeathers!" face)

[David]

Yeah, don't do that Kris.

Kinda crazy that Schwarbs has 30 HRs but Kris doesn't

I wonder how many players have been demoted during a season but still hit 30 HR.
