    Maybe the Cubs will put a wrench in their plans next week.

    Guardians finish off sweep of the Tigers, they were carrying baseball' best record for most, if not all of the first half. Looked terrific in doing so, then shortly after the break went in a downward slide and never really recovered.

    Now that you mention it, I distinctly remember watching that catch and thinking WTF?

    Anyone watching Tigers - Guardians? A few moments ago Skubal gave up a tying HR, followed by consecutive singles. Guardians are driving up his PC and are within 4.5 games in the AL Central. I like the Tigers however, it'd be interesting if the Guardians win today and make it closer. Tigers are limping to the finish, not too confident in their PS chances. Skubal can't pitch in every game, bullpen is very shaky. And just like that, Skubal out, Jose Ramirez hits a 2R-HR.

    For the Brewers bigger loss may be Megill, don't know his current status, he's on the 15 day IL.

    Isn't Quintana kind of the Cubs version of Colin Rea? Early on, was never thought to play a big role and had an unexpectedly good season but, may be left off the playoff roster?

    I'd love to see the Mets crap out, would be hilarious.

    This game - https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN201709280.shtml - forgot all about that, certainly was a hangover/forfeit lineup.

    Good luck. Was thinking about 2004, Cubs desperate for wins, Mark Prior goes 9, gives only 3 hits and 1 run, K's 16 and the Cubs lose in 2-1 in 12. That horsefeathers schmoe, Austin Kearns, had some big games in that series. Shoe is pretty much on the other foot today.

    Today could be one of those games that we've seen when the Cubs were in Reds' position. Needing every win they can get facing a team with a lesser pitcher and, in Cubs case, probably a hangover line up. The Cubs win anyway while the Reds grind saw dust from their bats.
  11. gflore34
    Haven't looked at the numbers, would a split effectively end the Reds season?
  12. gflore34
    Although the WC #1 is still in play, I'm super glad the playoffs are no longer in question. Most especially against the Reds, don't know what is about them but, they're annoying shits who I cannot stand. I love that it's on the Reds to basically win every game and, even then, their playoff chances are slim.
  13. gflore34
    I think it best to assume Tucker is done, wouldn't be surprised if that's Craig' starting point as well. Regarding your point above, I was thinking the same. Yes, a healthy Tucker improves the lineup but, I do think the version of Tucker before IL stint is replaceable. Does anyone know the status of Cassie? Concussions are nothing to be taken lightly, I'm convinced a concussion effectively end the career of Andre Curbelo (Illini PG) and they've ended the careers of may others. If healthy, is Cassie a possibility for the playoff roster?
  14. gflore34
    I think, unfortunately, the Dodgers staff is starting to get healthy, or at the very least, their starters. They've been on quite the heater and, I suspect, come the PS, their bullpen will be adequate. Then again, they are older than dirt and I believe Ohtani arm's is a ticking bomb.
  15. gflore34
    Really? Have you not read the season long Brewers' fluff pieces on this board? Should the Cubs make out of the the WC the match up is the their bats vs. the Brewers pitching. Cubs have a big edge offensively, they can put up runs with one swing of the bat. Brewers have the edge on the mound there's no denying that point. One caveat - being it's the post season, the Cubs can tune their staff, no more Ryan Pressly's, Chris Flexen's and Colin Rea's types for the Brewers to exploit.
  16. gflore34
    For shits and giggles it'd be cool if the Brewers lost tonight.
  17. gflore34
    Still playing for the #1 WC but, the pressure to make/not make the post season is off. That's nice, was really worried the next 7 vs. the Reds and Mets were going to be of the win and in, lose and out variety. Good they don't have to go into Cincinnati having to take three of four or some such nonsense. Actually, it all on the Reds, I'm guessing they have to sweep the Cubs plus several other permutations of teams winning and losing to even have a chance.
  18. gflore34
    They're old and injury prone, think that's played a big part in, for the Dodgers, a pedestrian 84-67. Don't know about Ohtani pitching, still think his arm is going to explode at some point.
  19. gflore34
    The Dodgers will, of course, deferred until 2500.
  20. gflore34
    I'm seriously questioning if he's worth a mega contract from the Cubs. Sure, if he plays, but, this is bringing up memories of Kris Byrant.
  21. gflore34
    Did anyone have the Cubs 3 games better than the Dodgers this late into the regular season? What I also find surprising is despite the Brewers being literally unbeatable for a significant stretch the Cubs are only 5 games back in the loss column.
  22. gflore34
    Most definitely, at best, a mediocre defense, I like that Ben Johnson didn't use the injuries as an excuse. Regardless of their very big impact.
  23. gflore34
    I know I saw it somewhere, the Lions offense pre and post the Bears losing their two best defenders. Pre injuries the Bears were doing okay, forced some punts and were not getting rolled. With all of these over the top reactions did one ever consider it was a perfect storm for the Lions? There isn’t a team in football that can overcome losing their two best defenders in the same game. Add in a motivated Lions team and it was recipe for the disaster we saw. I’m certain the Lions win without the Bears’ injuries on defense. And I’m certain the Lions don’t score 50+ points under those circumstances.
  24. gflore34
    If he was loafing Sunday, not blocking down field because the Bears were hopelessly trailing. I've no problem with phasing him out or benching him. I'll bet Luther will bust his ass out there regardless of the score.
  25. gflore34
    In no way am I excusing DJ but, wasn't he technically not an eligible receiver or blocker because of something about being pushed out of bounds? The manner in which he just went and sat on the bench was ****** even though he was unable to participant in the play.
