so much for fielder's indifference.

This game is especially cool, because I have the under on the Diamondbacks season win total. (The under on the Brewers, over on the Blue Jays, and over on the A's are already pretty well decided)

[Cubswin11]

Let’s get hot for about 40 days here, offense

[bcl412]

That was fun. Get a series win now

[Cubswin11]

.642 win percentage during the death march

18 swinging strikes for Kyle. 2nd most in his career.

That was probably the least stressful win they’ve had in like 3 weeks. Thanks Cobs and Kyle

[Andy]

I have to say that this is a brilliant horsefeathering performance by Hendricks. He is in complete control to a degree we’ve only seen a handful of times in his career

Kyle is the most fun to watch pitcher on this team, by far, when he's on.

7-5 is fairly realistic and should be enough. Get it done, Cubs.

12-0 get us to 100 wins, let’s do that

7-5 is fairly realistic and should be enough. Get it done, Cubs.

Even 6-6 makes it hard for Milwaukee.

 

Let's say we went:

1-1 vs. Arizona

2-1 vs. White Sox

2-2 vs. Pittsburgh

1-2 vs. Cardinals

 

Milwaukee would have to do something like:

2-0 vs. Reds

2-1 vs. Pirates

2-1 vs. Cardinals

2-1 vs. Tigers

 

Just to tie.

 

And aren't two-way division ties broken by head to head now anyway? We own that, too.

Nope. They’d play a tie breaker game.

Might as well make it 23-0. Finish this thing off right.

Correct. The head to head would determine the location of the tiebreaker game.

 

And I’m looking at it to where we would win outright. So 7-5 means 8-3 for the Brewers isn’t good enough.

If anybody can do it it's the Duker

[The_Achiever]

I really want to clinch before the St. Louis series. Don't want to give those dirtbags any ideas.

I'll be at the Sept 29th game drunk as a skunk and yes I agree. I hope we have it wrapped up by then so I can enjoy my day there.
