A dramatic recreation of last night's game:

 

 

Maybe tonight's won't be as much of a series of tiny heart attacks.

Do the honorable thing, Nats...you have nothing to play for.

I forget how weird and uncanny valley half-CGI'ed Tarkin is from Rogue One

They pretty much did it for St. Louis, it's the least they can do now.

Normally rainouts make me sad but the Cubs haven't had a day off in over two weeks, so bring on the rain.

Just make it an absolute no doubt rainout then...I'll pass on the "we might have a window oops wait nope we don't" type of rainout.

The only 2 reasons I'd consider disagreeing:

 

-Is a day off and a doubleheader better than finishing up this death march for another week? (it could be, just positing)

-If they don't play a double header and are unable to make up the game, the Cubs end with an odd looking record which I hate

Maybe we’ll avoid Scherzer somehow.

Win, idiots

Is Strasburg good right now or no?

 

Not certain.

 

But if you ask the same question tomorrow, the answer will probably, “Yep, he’s back in form of an ace.”

Is Strasburg good right now or no?

 

He's at a career low in ERA+ (which is bad) and a career high in WHIP.

he's seemingly been trying to come back from injury all season. This will be his 4th consecutive start coming back from his latest injury. Got lit up the first game but had pretty solid 6 IP, 2 ER lines the other 2 games. This will probably be something similar to the last time we saw a Hendricks/Strasburg matchup (NLDS Game 1) where both pitchers matched 0's until the Cubs could finally break though.
