8/25 - Other Games Thread

[Derwood]

It's an off day for the Cubs, but....

 

NL Wild Card Standings (Start of Day, 8/25)

PHI   ---
HOU   1.5
NYM   2.0
FLA   2.0
WSH   2.0
MIL   5.5
CHC   7.5

Best case scenario today:

CIN defeats WSH
MIL defeats FLA
ARZ defeats NYM
CHC fire Baker, traded Burnitz, Hollandsworth, Macias


Would result in:

PHI   ---
HOU   1.5
NYM   2.5
FLA   2.5
WSH   2.5
MIL   5.0
CHC   7.5

The best case scenario is even less likely than normal today. :x

We're too far out of it to worry about scoreboard watching.

 

We've dropped our last two series. I know it's hard to accept, but this team is going no where.

Who said anyone is watching the scoreboard? I just wanted an excuse to post the WC standings. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

As long as the Astros don't win the Wild Card, and the Cards don't win the World Series, I'm happy.

I don't know - how would MLB.com represent the Dusty Baker firing on the scoreboard? :lol:

There are some good minor league matchups tonight.

 

Rich Hill is pitching for the Iowa Cubs vs. New Orleans at 7pm. His games are always fun to listen/watch.

 

West Tenn is continuing to fight for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Greenberg is back in the lineup, and Brandon Sing needs one more HR and one more BB to break the West Tenn season records. Carlos Marmol is starting vs. Mississippi at 7:05pm.

 

Peoria is 3 games out of the MWL Wild Card with 12 regular season games left to play. Matt Weber starts vs. Western Michigan (Tigers) tonight. Ryan Harvey is leading the league in HRs and RBIs.

 

Angel Guzman is scheduled to pitch for the Arizona Cubs tonight ... but there's no broadcast for the AZL games, so you just have to wait for the box score to post.

At the risk of taking this into Minor League discussions, Greenberg's return will probably be my game of choice. I'm getting quite attached to the DJaxx.

Okay, so I put on ESPNews and they say that Pedro has a no-hitter through 5. So I flip over on MLB EI to the game, and Mark Grace is trying to jinx Pedro. He sticks his head out the booth window and yells "Hey! Pedro! It's me! Gracie! You got a no-hitter going!"

 

What happens next? Next batter gets a single.

 

HI-LARIOUS!

Holy crap :shock:

 

Jose Lima and the "almighty" KC Royals beat Curt Schilling and the Red Sox..

And in the process took my bet winnings from £2 to 30p. I knew I should only bet on the BoSox when Wakefield is pitching.
