8/22 Cubs (Lester) at Tigers (Liriano): 6:10 PM on WGN

starting to think weak infield grounders are NOT the new market inefficiency.

[We Got The Whole 9]

The first day of this month, the Cardinals were 7.5 back. Now they are 2.5 back. Extrapolate that however you wish.

 

Since August 1, the Cardinals have gone 16-4. So sure, if you want to extrapolate that out and say the Cardinals will play .800 ball the rest of the year, it'll be tough for us to get the 97 wins we would need to win the division.

 

We'd have to go 26-12, by the way, which is entirely possible. But it absolutely won't be necessary.

 

Yeah this is likely at the end of our bad run and the cardinals good run. I still have scars from 2004 though when the Astros played like .900 ball the last month of the season and never eased up while we plodded along and finished several games back.

I've been trying not to go there but this year is starting to feel like that year

Is there a reason Kato is going to be on WGN morning news other than his psycho twitter rants about the Brewers?

[Brian]

our best offensive player right now is Albert Almora, yikes

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I told Peg this would be the inning (I call my girlfriend Peg because she’s a horny red head that likes to poof her hair up big like Peg Bundy)

[UMFan83]

Does that other run just count for tomorrow’s game or something?

[Brian]

wow, save some of these base runners for tomorrow

[TMan92]

Did someone do a slump buster between innings?
