  1. Cubs just need to go 8-8. There are 5 "non Cardinals/Brewers" games left on the schedule. Even if you win all 5 of them, that means the Cubs went 3-8 against the Cardinals and Brewers. Lets say its worst case scenario and all 3 wins are against the Brewers meaning the Cardinals won all 7 of the upcoming games. If that were to happen, the Cardinals would still need to go 4-4 in their other 8 games to win the division if the Cubs went 8-8 in their last 16. But again that's worst case scenario. A more likely slightly less disastrous scenario (for an 8-8 Cubs team) is the Cubs go 5-0 against Rays and Reds, go 2-5 against the Cardinals and 1-3 against the Brewers. If that were to happen, the Cardinals would have to go 7-2 in their other 9 games, and/or the Brewers 9-3 to overtake the Cubs. Also, the Cardinals and Brewers play a 3 game set the last weekend of the season, so that guarantees that 1 of those teams will lose at least 2 more games. Edit: And on the positive side, if the Cubs go 4-3 against the Cardinals and split against the Brewers, that would put them in a situation where even if they lost 3 of 5 reds/rays games, the Cardinals would have to go 9-0 and the Brewers 10-2 to overtake the Cubs.
  2. Let Schwarbs dong it open early and genital piercing can play the last three innings. True, he's like that lethal striker that is subbed in for the last 30 to put the game away.
  3. FREE ALMORA! Super SSS but whatever, Almora is 4-10 lifetime against current Cardinals with a double and a triple and only 1 K. And 9 of those 10 ABs were against righties (3 were against Carlos Martinez, who he doubled off of for his 1 hit)
  4. I'm so disappointed I can't find a gif of the horse killing Don's father. Would be perfect for a Lackey start
  5. Oh whooptie do Cubs you won 3 games against a AA team. Even with you purposely handicapping yourself by starting Tseng and Davis to make things fair, NOT GOOD ENOUGH Thinking of Lackey's punchable face reminds me of another very punchable face http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc84e93364c120ec82857d57e9b20bf4/tumblr_n2l9e9YmVO1qdqnato1_500.gif Today we take on the satanic fowl and this dude: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Ruo9ZWAgi4/TrpnajBBkHI/AAAAAAAAAJo/LlqgatuHnOo/s400/Yadier+Molina+tattoo-flashz+06.jpg http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/BettyHairUproxx.gif
  6. Goodbye Night Wrigley. Hope it's not the last time we see you in 2017
  7. Geez of course we start the series with our 5th starter against their ace The series is basically their top 3 starters against our bottom 3 (although you can make an argument that Hendricks is our 2)
  8. I thought the barstool guy was singing. Either the Cubs saw the blowback and changed their minds or they were trolling Cubs twitter
  9. When you follow up a 17 run game with a 14+ run game...we're going to score -4 runs tomorrow
  10. Good news guys: since the start of that Brewers series we have averaged over 6 runs a game. 3 vs Milwaukee and 34 so far against the Mets
  11. sweet 2 on nobody out! Let's get some - oh wait Heyward, Davis, Tseng due up
  12. http://i0.heartyhosting.com/okmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/ok_040513_joan-airplane.gif
  13. Remember last year where we spot started guys like Adam Warren and Trevor Cahill and they actually did really well?
  14. Eh what's one little loss when we're up by 2.5 games with 17 remaining. Plenty of time to put this division away. Tomorrow let's see if we can have Jay play all 9 positions in one game
  15. No don't excuse him for having nerves. That is what you risk by having someone make their unexpected major league debut in the middle of a pennant race
