9/25 Pirates (Archer) at Cubs (Montgomery) 7:05 on Worlds Greatest Newspaper channel

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs get shut out tonight they will have averaged 0.83 runs per game in their last 6 games against the Pirates. That’s.....hard to do

[Sammy Sofa]

We're excellent at getting people into scoring position with 2 outs and not a second before.

 

Hey, let's be honest; they're even worse at capitalizing on having in them in scoring position with less than 2 outs.

Sorry Len, the only crooked number the Cubs are putting up tonight is if the scoreboard guy was hanging out with Joe before the game and hangs the 1 at an angle.

 

You were one of the four in my quick poll last week that had the Cubs winning the division.

 

Still? Or no?

 

If it’s 0.5 after tonight I lean towards no just because of the schedules.

 

If it’s 1.5 I think we at least tie.

 

If it’s 2.5 then yes we win the division.

If it's 2.5 after tonight I will run down the block naked. There will be no proof. You will just have to take my word for it.

As my friend texted me, Reyes is for sure a computer-generated MLB The Show character

[UMFan83]

Remember those articles about how mad Theo gets when things aren’t going well? I can’t imagine how he is handling this

[Brian]

and broken fingers/hand/wrist to go with dead shoulder

[Andy]

A hit-by-pitch killed him, maybe it can bring him back to life.

[weis21]

well he's certainly dead now i guess. horsefeathering horsefeathers

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm assuming that shattered the entire side of his body.

[r_mack]

Maybe Bryant will magically hit for power now

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm pretty sure at this point that if the Cubs had any road games left in the regular season their plane would somehow fly into a volcano.

[Andy]

If they were trying to suck in the most annoying ways possible I don't think they could do it any better.

[Brian707]

Cards had bases loaded 0 out. Got 1 run. Heyward hits into a dp. Fun times

[Andy]

I miss when the 'wish we were the Astros' complaint was laughed off.

 

[Brian]

can we get some more of that rain

Tough to shake a WS hangover when your manager and president are barely functioning alcoholics.

[Brian]

i had almost forgotten Kintzler existed

[Sammy Sofa]

Kintzler's in; Joe's giving up, too.

 

Time for bed. Andy, you're up to do tomorrow's death mar-, er, game thread.

Funny to think only about 1 month ago we had roughly the same record win% wise (think we had 1-2 fewer wins or losses) and a bigger division lead than them.

That's not funny at all.

Oh that’s definitely not happening. Just figured I’d include it in case the Pirates just let us take our last 15 outs all in one inning.

So we’re definitely falling to a WC spot and then we’re going to lose to the Cards, right? That seems like the fitting way for this horsefeathering season to end.
