9/17 Cubs (Darvish) vs. Reds (Gray) 7:05 WCIU/ESPN

[Schwarber Fan]

I guess it’s not happening tonight. Win tomorrow and sweep the Cards or probably miss the playoffs. I think that’s our reality.

[profisme]

Some pretty bad at-bats tonight

[Cubswin11]

Just not our night, sucks. But gonna happen. I was expecting we drop 1 so win tomorrow idiots

[UMFan83]

5 outs to work with, but this is really the story of this years team. Can't get a streak going. Have they won more than 5 in a row?

 

Yeah they won 7 in a row at the end of April/early May

I guess it’s not happening tonight. Win tomorrow and sweep the Cards or probably miss the playoffs. I think that’s our reality.

I, for one, don’t believe not winning the next 5 straight keeps them from the playoffs.

If we win tomorrow and win 3 of 4 from St Louis, we’re either tied or a game up on St Louis going into three games with Pittsburgh. That puts us in decent shape.

Thank you San Diego for the Wi(e)ck brothers

[soccer10k]

Somehow get to the top of the order, please.

[Brian]

Cubs lead the league in taking borderline strike 3 to end the game

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Good rally

[Schwarber Fan]

I keep forgetting the St. Louis series is 4 games. Yeah, 3 of 4 should do but need to win tomorrow.

[17 Seconds]

such a classic darvish game

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I can't be mad about losing to Sonny Gray and Joey Votto, maybe Mahle and Joey Votto

[TMan92]

When it comes down to it we should have beaten the damn Reds more this year.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[TMan92]

And one more for the evening

 

 

 

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Hat tips all around tonight.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Tomorrow is huge. A win and a Max win over the Cardinals gets us to 1 back.

 

Win 4 of 7 vs the Cardinals and sweep the Pirates and at minimum they get a 1 game playoff. If the Cardinals Lose 1 to Arizona then we are in no matter what.

 

Hopefully the Brewers can find a way to slip up at least 3 times as well, but it all starts tomorrow. Need to gain that game on the Cardinals.
