9/27 Cubs (Alzolay) at White Sox (Lopez) 2:10 CT Marquee

[PackLandVA]

Marlins or Reds, either would be fine to see first. I just don't want yet another Cardinals series

 

Same. But I acknowledge it’s because I’m a wuss and don’t want the possibility of losing to the stupid Cardinals

 

Wouldn’t mind seeing the Cubs play a team we haven’t seen this season. Maybe several (4?) we haven’t seen.

if mia/stl win and cin loses, dont we get the reds?

To give you the details, the second place teams in the divisions are all seeded 4-6. The two wildcards are 7 & 8 no matter what the records are.

 

i know, but i was confused about the tiebreakers

How would Cincy move above StL in that scenario?

Killing Gio after all his years of him junk balling us to death is a nice cherry on top of the weekend.

cinci could still theoretically finish a game ahead of st louis if the cards had to play the DH against detroit tomorrow and lost both. but i guess it wouldn't affect home field so it won't happen.

6 more Brewer outs until we’re locked into Miami

But how does that happen in the scenario you listed with StL winning and Cincy losing?

[Tim]

Also, it wouldn't matter because cincy and StL would just swap the 5th and 7th spots with Miami still being 6th since they'd be the worst second place team.

it was a typo, i meant if they all won

[Tim]

Q looking pretty good also. I'm pretty comfortable with the pitching going into the postseason. If we hit, I think we've got a decent chance.

[bukie]

I'm looking forward to an NLDS in Texas featuring Cubs vs Reds and Cards vs Brewers.

[Brian]

they didn't let them do alcohol celebration for the division, but what about retaining the crosstown cup?

[Tim]

Cleveland took the lead over Pitt, so it looks like we're knocking the sox down to 7th place.

[Brian]

BRAILYN TIME BABY

[Brian]

yikes, how many days ago were they the #1 seed?

A week ago they were the top seed.

[Brian]

almost like they shouldn't have waited till the last day to do this

[Tim]

Brailyn does not look like he's throwing hard. But the nerves appear to be getting to him a bit.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Good thing we have a huge cushion because it looks like nerves are getting to him.

[bukie]

Should have just held off on using him until a low leverage situation in a meaningless game.

[Brian]

that was sexy

[PackLandVA]

Abreu goes down on 99mph hi cheez,

[Tim]

Man...that's easy gas.

[Brian]

whatever that 91mph pitch is it's going to be a problem for hitters

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Not the greatest debut.

[Tim]

Guess this is why we haven't seen him until now.
