The official Wild Card discussion thread....

[Chris]

They're going to have to figure out how to beat the Reds if they want to get closer in the WC chase

Don't do this to yourselves, guys. By even talking about the possiblity you're setting yourself up for a dissapointment.

 

We're in another classic Cubs tease. They're showing you just enough to get you believing again, and then when they have your heart again, they'll rip it out and stomp on it.

 

In fact, it woudln't shock me if they pulled within 2 and had people coming around again, and then went on a collapse.

 

No, no, no. The Cubs will tie the Astros for the Wild Card and lose in the 15th inning of Game 163.

 

That wouldn't shock me, either.

So how are they gonna do it? Walk in the winning run? Dramatic walkoff homer?

 

My money is on at least one error being involved in the play.

The bases would be loaded, the Cubs would be ahead by 1, and there would be a play that SHOULD be routine for the 3rd and final out that someone would screw up, and 2 runs would score to give the Astros the win.

Better yet, in a key at bat the idoit will bring Mitre to serve up a gopher ball..."Dude, I didn't want to burn out Novoa, Williamson or Dempster."
