    Awesome. I also saw that his daughter posted this thread on facebook, which I think is awesome that family and friends can see how beloved he was in the virtual world (which of course spilled out into his personal life as several stories here elude to).

    For his career, Lester is 4-16 hitting against the Cardinals, and 4-134 against all other teams

    3 months ago: We are still in the division race, we just played the hard part of our schedule, they haven't had a down stretch yet. if we can get to 4-5 games by the break we like our chances 3 weeks ago: We are not thinking wild card, we are still thinking division. yesterday: We just need to split this series to stay alive in the wild card race

    I honestly cannot decide who I'd give the award to. Fernandez is a good choice I hadn't really considered as a prime candidate this year but the numbers check out. Lester, Hendricks, Scherzer and Bumgarner also all have good cases, Kershaw has a very outside chance.

    Welp, I went to the game against the Pirates last year where a win would have clinched a playoff spot, and they lost because we couldn't get Starlin home from 3rd with 0 outs. I'm going this year and hoping to have better results, but if they lose you can clearly all blame me.

    I'm sure they've fixed guys and we just didn't make a big deal out of it but it seems like the Cubs have 2 players who they tried to refine into better overall hitters with disasterous results.

    9-20-08 Of course in 2008 the season ended on September 27th I believe. This year it ends on Oct 2

    Oh wait I can pull up an obstructed view ticket for only $64!
  10. UMFan83
    I don't know why I waited to buy tickets. Was able to pull up plenty of $30 tickets during the game, and on stubhub they were selling for 35. Now I cant pull up any tickets to the game, and the cheapest on stubhub are $69 (nice) Anyone want to sell me a face value ticket :)

    I wonder if MLB considers this an official clinch or if they even realize or care. Because technically no matter what outcome occurs the rest of the season, the Cubs will own a playoff spot. So it should be official, right?

    I think I can tell which tweets jersey makes on the account vs tweets tim makes
  13. UMFan83
    I think that would make it 10 then. It was "officially" 12 coming into today, really 11 with the tiebreaker
  14. UMFan83
    Playoffs!

    31. That's his second today Forgot about that!
  17. UMFan83
    Technically, since the Cards play 4 with the Giants and the Cubs combined magic #s with the two would be less than 4, the Cubs would clinch a playoff spot with a win today. Haha awesome, thanks bukie, 3 outs from a playoff spot
  18. UMFan83
    Even though we already screwed the closer with a 4 run lead, I'll still call this a Screw the Closer game.

    #30! Riz!
  20. UMFan83
    Damn, he probably would have had an inside the park HR if he went for it just based on where the throw went.
  21. UMFan83
    3 outs from guaranteeing that we play a 163rd game
  22. UMFan83
    Damn, was hoping that last out would put his ERA into the 2.30's. He will have to settle for ending the day at 2.40
  23. UMFan83
    I'm surprised Maddon is letting him face another batter, I thought once Jedd's AB finished he was done as he's at 96 pitches and Rondon can obviously use some work
  24. UMFan83
    Up to the minute MLB ERA leaders: 1. Hendricks - 2.03 2. Lester - 2.42 3. Syndergaard - 2.43
  25. UMFan83
    I mean, Hendricks pitched well two days ago. He did? Must have missed that... :D Hendricks is pulling an "Arrieta" second half for sure, but Lester is the seasoned vet you want with the season on the line in a game 5 situation. Hendricks 2nd half ERA - 1.33 Lester 2nd half ERA - 1.51 They are both putting on 85% God Mode Jake 2015 2nd Half performances.
