    C'mon, where is tomorrow's game thread? Who is on deck?

    Invisible, rain proof force field around Wrigley that prevents rainouts without adding an ugly roof.

    I would seriously rather have Maddux batting 2nd than Neifi. It's unbelievable how low the HR totals are for those Colorado hitters. Remember the good old days of Bichette/Walker/Galaragga/Castilla? Now the only Bichette doing anything is Dante Jr. at the LLWS!

    That sounds about right, though The Cubs would have to go 17 over .500 the rest of the way, which is pretty daunting.

    Many posters here in recent days have thrown around "90 wins" as the magic number to win the wildcard. This leads to much hand-wringing, as that would require the Cubs to go 30-9 the rest of the way. First, here is how the standings would end up if everyone played at their current winning percentages the rest of the year: PHI: 86-76 (20-18 the rest of the way) HOU: 86-76 (21-18) FLA: 85-77 (21-19) WSH: 84-78 (20-19) NYM: 84-78 (21-19) MIL: 80-82 (19-19) CHC: 79-83 (19-20) So at the current rate, 86 wins would win the WC. Now let's see what teams would need to do to reach other win totals, and how many more wins they would need above their current winning % to attain it: 90 Wins: CHC: 30-9 (+11) PHI: 24-14 (+4) HOU: 25-14 (+4) FLA: 26-14 (+5) WSH: 26-13 (+6) NYM: 27-13 (+6) MIL: 29-9 (+10) 88 Wins: CHC: 28-11 (+9) PHI: 22-16 (+2) HOU: 23-16 (+2) FLA: 24-16 (+3) WSH: 24-15 (+4) NYM: 25-15 (+4) MIL: 27-11 (+8) So if anyone were to get to 90 wins, they would have to put on at least a little bit more of a streak than anyone has shown so far. The Cubs best bet is for the WC winner to be in the 86-88 win range, as they would only have to play 10 over .500 or so the rest of the way (still a stretch, but certainly could happen)

    And the mighty Dubois was already demoted by Cleveland, so he seems to be a classic AAAA player

    Why not just get all of Dusty's old players over here? Can the Giants throw JT Snow and Kirk Rueter in too?
  8. Derwood
    and yet, they would still be outnumbered by "Dusty is Stupid" and "Corey Sucks" threads. so much bandwidth wasted....

    NL Wild Card Standings (Start of Day, 8/21) PHI --- HOU 0.5 FLA 1.0 WSH 1.5 NYM 2.0 MIL 5.0 CHC 5.5 Best case scenario today: CHC defeats COL MIL defeats HOU LAD defeats FLA NYM defeats WSH PIT defeats PHI Would result in: PHI --- HOU 0.5 FLA 1.0 NYM 1.0 WSH 1.5 MIL 4.0 CHC 4.5

    See, Dusty is a genius! He KNEW Ramirez's spot wouldn't get back up again!
  12. Derwood
    That's.....just.....great. Looking up at Milwaukee again.
  13. Derwood
    ha ha ha, I stole Len's thunder!
  14. Derwood
    Geez, that was a Vladdy Guerrero swing there!
  15. Derwood
    Biggest AB by Lee all year right here.
  16. Derwood
    Anyone smell a 1 run loss tonight?
  17. Derwood
    Man, how many frigging time can the Cubs have runners at 2nd and 3rd and not score? Is there a league record for # of times this happens in a year? Can someone at STATS Inc. hook us up?
  18. Derwood
    I hate this team. I really can't type what I want to (as I would face banination)
  19. Derwood
    Worst.......at bat.......ever
  20. Derwood
    Okay, here's the deal Cubs. You are down 1, you have the bases loaded with 1 out. Your season is hanging by a thread. This is very simple. ANYTHING but a strikeout or a double play should tie the game. GIT R DONE!
  21. Derwood
    Look out Lee, Ramirez is passing you by for the RBI lead (of course, Lee is always on base when Ramirez comes up, while NO ONE is on base when Lee is up)
  22. Derwood
    Alright Aramis, no swingy at first pitchy, comprende?
  23. Derwood
    Man, with FLA and HOU losing tonight, I would hate to blow this opportunity. Sure, PHI won, but the wildcard teams can be pretty bunched up if the Cubbies can pull this one out.
  24. Derwood
    Lawton has officially been "Dusty-fied". 58 walks with PIT, 1 walk with CHC.

    This is greatly helpful. Would you mind adding one feature? If you could add what the standing would look like if the best case scenario pans out, that would be interesting. If not, no biggie. Thanks for the info just the same. Funny you should ask, as I was thinking of doing just that. Let's see... NL Wild Card Standings (Start of Day, 8/20) HOU --- FLA 0.5 PHI 0.5 WSH 1.0 NYM 2.5 CHC 5.0 MIL 5.5 Best case scenario today: CHC defeats COL MIL defeats HOU LAD defeats FLA NYM defeats WSH PIT defeats PHI Would result in: HOU --- FLA 0.5 PHI 0.5 WSH 1.0 NYM 1.5 CHC 4.0 MIL 4.5
