1. It's insane to me that the Nationals are going to clinch before the Dodgers 2. Does anybody else not like this Dodgers struggle? I'd prefer they won 120 and then went cold in October, I just get a bad feeling of them limping into October and everybody laughing at them and then they flip it back on in October
save the bullpen yesterday to not use it today, it's September there's like 15 guys down there and nobody of consequence pitched yesterday. There was little reason for Carl to even start the 8th, no reason not to have a quick hook on him.
this may not be true or even something that can be looked up, but I feel like whenever they are in situations like today getting 4IP against a bullpen and down by only a few runs they never do anything.
16 pitches left to get 6 outs for John "Saddle Up" Lackey to get a Maddux in 20 freaking 17. somebody realized how close they were to being told they were going to bullpen, and likely pulling a sealboy 2016
they did shirsey's for the player's weekend jersey, i'm not sure if they are still for sale though edit - they are http://www.mlbshop.com/league/MLB/team/Chicago_Cubs/category/15024/browse/featuredproduct/2891056/partnerid/12725/source/ak1944mlb-pla?sku=9859307
