9/23 Cubs (Hendricks) at White Sox (Rodon), 1 pm, ABC, MLBN

[soccer10k]

Cubs won yesterday. That was good. They should probably do that again.

 

And if the Pirates and Giants want to win, that would be great also.

[UMFan83]

Too bad the Rockies won tonight, we could have clinched a playoff berth against the White Sox tomorrow with a win and Rox loss. Oh well will have to settle for celebrating at Wrigley but I’m guessing they will save it in anticipation of winning the division

Still holding out hope the Rockies can get past the Dodgers or Cardinals. So go Rox!

Yeah, the Rockies are our only chance to prevent the Cards from making the playoffs. I hope them and the Dodgers win out.

Let's send Hawk out on retirement 10-2 Cubs

I’d so much rather face the Cards in the playoffs than the Dodgers.

Maybe. This is me being a ninny but I really don’t want the Brewers or Cardinals to beat us. We are better than both but can obviously lose to either and I don’t want to take that chance

[gobigred]

Winning the division and having the best record in the NL would be quite the accomplishment but this year just feels different. I could see us losing in 4 in the divisional series or making the World Series. Just happy to have some playoff baseball to watch and probably complain about.

As much as i hate the Cardinals, id prefer dealing with them in the playoffs over the Dodgers..

 

Rockies could win that Division

[chibears55]

Need good Hendricks and a couple guys after Rizzo to help with the offense

4-4 / 6-1

3-5 / 5-2 / 7-0

2-6 / 4-3 / 6-1

1-7 / 3-4 / 5-2

0-8 / 2-5 / 4-3

 

Reminder that the Brewers and Cardinals play each other this week.

[Brian]

With the Brewers getting the Tigers at home to close out the season, we should want the Cardinals to take at least 2 from the Brewers.

Probably no sweep. Dont want the Cardinals coming in here 3 back or less Friday. Unless the Cubs take 3 of 4 from Pittsburgh

[UMFan83]

With the Brewers getting the Tigers at home to close out the season, we should want the Cardinals to take at least 2 from the Brewers.

 

Eh. Just do our thing. If we can win today we just have to go 4-3 in the last homestand to almost certainly put it away. I’d rather see the Cardinals knocked out of the WC2 spot

He's like for-real permanently broken, though.

[Sammys Boombox]

If the lead is 3.5 after today, I’m probably wanting a Brewers 2/3 or even a sweep depending on how our series goes against the Pirates.

Get this division wrapped up ASAP. Which probably means wanting the Cardinals to win 2/3 at the least.

I want the Rockies in the LDS. So I want them to win enough to pass the cards, but not enough to pass the dodgers. Then braves over LA to set up the NLCS.

When people argue against signing Harper because "we won't have money to pay Bryant", this is what I tell them

[Schwarber Fan]

KB gonna go off in the playoffs.

This is how I feel. If we're 3.5 up, I root for the Brewers on Monday and go from there. If we keep winning, we root for the Brewers to keep winning. Ideally, we win today and the Brewers lose, both us and the Brewers win Monday through Wednesday and we clinch the division on Thursday.
