9/6/18 CLUBES (Hendricks) @ Nationals (Strasburg) 6:05 CST NBC Sports Chicago/MLBN

Way to go, boys! Pen will be rested because a lot of rain is coming.

[TMan92]

Have they explained why Jayson Werth gets a day?

 

For all the NLDS losses he led them to or for setting the record for most DL time over a 3 season span?

 

Glue guy, dude. W!

 

Forgot to add chews on toothpick

5-3 through Vaunted Tough Stretch

[UMFan83]

I love how Bote hits the ball so hard, hits he thinks are easy fly outs are doubles to the warning track

Nice choice of music on the PA following the Nats loss, considering they have backed down from almost everyone this year.

Cubs win!! Bote and Davis in the clutch!!

[Cubswin11]

The Cardinals and VBs picked up .5 games in the last 4 days

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

Chavez is the most real-life example of the Steve Buscemi gif I have ever seen.

Lester can go 8 tomorrow in a 15-1 victory. Let Maples come in for mopup duty to rest the pen

If the Cubs win and the Brewers/Cards lose tomorrow, I hope the regulars all head to Chicago a day early and they play all minor leaguers against Scherzer.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Very real possibility the entire weekend is rained out. The Brewers are at home so they won't be affected, and the Cardinals are in Detroit where it's not supposed to rain til Sunday. There's 2 off days scheduled the rest of the year, each of the next 2 thursdays, one in between home series, the other in between an Arizona night game and a day game at the Cell. I wonder how they'd handle it, punt to the end of the year to see if they actually need to play the games for the division/home field?

Yeah...I screwed that one up. Somehow forgot it was a four game series.

How about Lester only going 5 because the Cubs are up 15-1 after 5. They could use a nice blowout win.

 

Anyone else starting to have more confidence in Justin Wilson? He hasn't given up a run since August 2nd over 15 appearances.

I think this is what they would do. Not 3 of the games but maybe 1 punted to October 1st. Won't matter as Cubs will have division and #1 seed locked up probably just after white sox series

Tonight I not only officially embraced not dreading Justin Wilson, but I also have more confidence in him than Carl right now.

Now that you mention it, probably more accurate than "starting to have more confidence."

 

ETA: I think they need to go Nuke Laloosh on Carl. "Don't think. You can only hurt the team."

Thanks for not going to the game. What are they saying about the weather locally?

Pretty much nonstop rain and thunderstorms at least through Saturday night. I opted to not take up a friend on his tickets in equal part due to the weather (even tonight would have been miserable; it's been a heat index of over 100 all week, so even at night it's still feeling like it's around 90) and my gigantic, stinky jinx.
