9/29 Cubs (Hamels) vs St. Louis (Mikolas) 12:00 FOX

[Sammys Boombox]

One of the worst games of the season.

[Brian707]

Just lose tomorrow so we’re fresh for the playoffs. I don’t wanna mess with a tie breaker game or whatever

 

Why have two chances at the NLDS when you can only have one?

[chibears55]

Can’t wait to see what the .550s OPS tigers have in store for us tonight

They win 10 zip

Lol

[PackLandVA]

So best record in the NL and 1st place in the NL will net the Cubs two additional playoff games before the NLDS, right?

 

Fitting for this season.

One of the worst games of the season.

 

I can probably name ten more in like 20 seconds.

[Perd]

The Tigers are winning, tonight. That’s all there is to it.

 

And we’re getting an on-field celebration tomorrow.

Sorry but i don't think it matters unless you just want a division title...

 

I mean wheater they play WC or NLDS, how much confidence do you have in the offense against a team top 2 starters and the BP to hold a lead or keep a game close

 

what team's top 2 starters scare you in the NL playoffs?

Against the cubs all of them..lol

 

Dodgers

Kershaw

Wood

 

Rockies

Freeland

Marquez

 

WC game, their gonna go up against either Kershaw or Freeland and that gonna be tough

 

Brewers

Chacin

Miley

 

Brewers in NLDS may be easier if they somehow get past the WC game or if they win division, the Brewers get pass the WC game

 

Kershaw is pitching today and Freeland pitched yesterday so if the Dodgers or Rockies want to threw them on two or three days rest, they can be my guest. And since the Cards won today, the Dodgers might have to try tomorrow and Buehler is scheduled to pitch. And if by some chance the Cards make it, Mikolas and Flaherty won’t pitch either.

You got Kershaw going on three days rest?

I have let people have their fun today calling wins and comebacks, but this is now going too far.

 

The Tigers are in no shape or form winning a baseball game tonight. Or tomorrow. I know, I know, baseball. horsefeathers baseball. It's not happening.

[CubinNY]

What do we want: ROBO UMPS

When do we want them: NOW

[Sammy Sofa]

Can’t wait to see what the .550s OPS tigers have in store for us tonight

 

Hey, it's at least better than the -.422 OPS Cubs.

[UMFan83]

On the bright side the Cubs are used to playing every day and I’m guessing the Brewers will be gassed having to play 4 whole days in a row

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Go Tigers.

[Sammy Sofa]

Fortunately, you can chalk this one up to having the misfortune of facing a good starting pitcher, something which NEVER EVER EVER happens in the playoffs.

[Cubswin11]

Wade Miley needs to remember he’s Wade horsefeathering Miley tonight

I’m not saying it’s smart I’m just saying mentally I don’t wanna have to think about it

Ah, yes; one facet of the vaunted VB theory, that still has a whole...*checks watch*...30 hours or so to finally manifest itself.

I'm at the point where I weirdly just want the hole season to be over. Call it a wash and come back next year after a non-sham of an off season and pray horsefeathers doesn't go wonky again.

[UMFan83]

Guessing potential pitching matchups this week:

 

Monday - Chacin vs Quintana

Tuesday if nec - Hill vs Lester

Thursday - Miley vs Hendricks

Friday - Gonzalez vs Hamels

Sunday - Anderson vs Quintana/Lester

 

Obviously if the Cubs don’t have to play Tuesday this will change for Cubs

[Soul]

Darn it. Crew won’t lose this weekend and I cringe at the thought of a tie breaker game followed by a WC game.

The chant builds slowly. First just a lone, unidentifiable voice deep in the crowd. A few more pick it up. Momentum builds. Soon, the thunderous clamor fills the world:

 

re-build. Re-build. Re-Build!

[UMFan83]

At least the Cubs wouldn’t have to travel Monday or Tuesday

Wow that looks frightening. We are winning tomorrow and worst case Monday. The NL sucks and we are going to the Series this year.

[UMFan83]

Lol if this week plays out with max games the Cubs will be at 44 games in 46 days. That’s cruel

[We Got The Whole 9]

We would have won the division by 10+ games if we had signed Cain and Mikolas instead of Darvish.
