Shows how quick things can change.  If they right the ship tomorrow it’s probably OK.  Get swept and oyyy.

Giants winning.  They could be back to 3.5 back of the Cubs if they win after being left for dead on Wednesday, though having been the 1 team we actually own the tiebreaker over they concern me less.

Cubs magic number is down to 18

Reds end up losing, aided by an overturn of an illegal slide at 2B that allowed a double play to count.

 

This is roughly how we end the night:

MIL --

CHC -4

 

and

 

PHI  +3

CHC --

ARI 1

---------

MIA 2.5

CIN 3.5

SF 3.5 or 4.5

(so as to not confuse anyone, these standings only reflect how many GB these teams are to the Cubs, as opposed to how the WC standings are usually presented)

It could be a lot worse....we're basically where we were at before the Giants series in terms of our playoff cushion, not as much our cushion over WC3.  Win tomorrow and look to get some momentum in Colorado
