Meanwhile in much more damaging news, the Pirates have decided to shut down Mitch Keller and he won't pitch this weekend against the Marlins. -
Why not? 4 games left in the season and they play a team that is also fighting to get into the playoffs this weekend.
-
DBacks lose. Optimal result tonight is ARI +1, CHC, MIA -1, CIN -2. So I'm sure it will be ARI +2, MIA +1, CHI, CIN -1
-
Like I said early, I fully expected that. That's just how they operate and they get a good 4 days off between Sunday and the start of the NLDS. Cubs should just be lucky we got the bad part of their rotation. It's funny that we're commenting on how gassed guys like Dansby must be and how its affecting their play while the Braves just play everyone every day at like 6 of their 8 defensive positions.
-
DBacks down 3-1 in the 7th. I know I know they're virtually up 3 with 4 games to play. I still think Houston is gonna be tough for them this weekend, even in Phoenix. But we're also at the point where the Cubs would need to go 4-0 to give them any shot at the Diamondbacks and at that point they probably (maybe?) pass the Marlins anyways.

Bears Week 4 vs Broncos Sunday at noon on CBS

Pretty sure it was Mooney. You can see at the very end Moore is the closer receiver and number 11 (Mooney) was the deep guy -

lol JT didn't do a free video for Fields this week but he did share this clip "I've never seen the 'yell block' before....you see something new every time you watch these cats" -
I was actually thinking about how tense the players have looked lately, and wanted to go back to the 'never let the pressure exceed the pleasure' manta Maddon had, but then I remembered 2019 lol. Dude had no way to stop that avalanche
-
POR 1st (lottery protected through 2028), then the next 1st they can trade is 2027 I believe. They don't own a 2nd round pick until 2028 either.

What would be hilarious is if the Bears fell in love with Eberflus and hired Poles over other candidates partly because he was on board with/would have hired Eberflus anyways. -
I think they're obsessed with their top guys playing all the time. Dansby used to play 162 games with them even though they had clinched stuff. Olson hasnt missed a game this year. We'll see but it feels like they don't care about rest - after all they are going to get 5 days of rest while the WC round is played. Maybe my brain doesn't want to accept the difficult position we're now in but I have a feeling we win today and the Marlins lose. The race has been too topsy turvy to end like this right?

lol we peaked at 93%. This is some 2016 election horsefeathers

Last week of the season in 2008 I remember we played a series at Shea Stadium against the Mets. The Mets were solidly in the playoffs at one point that month but were in the middle of a collapse. The Cubs had clinched the 1 seed and HFA in the NL and had absolutely nothing to play for. It was also the 2nd to last series of the season. I think the Cubs took 3 of 4 that series and I remember laughing and making fun of them throughout for being unable to win when everything was on the line for them and nothing for us. I guess this is payback lol
-
You do realize that tied for the Cubs in this case means 1 GB right? Like they can win the rest of their games and not be in. I think they can still make it....I'd put their odds at about 30% at this point. Edit: Also I think that was sort of what you were trying to say? Honestly your posts have been so bizarre lately I cant really tell lol
-
I've railed on Poor Tom Ricketts for year but I don't think its a Jerry Reinsdorf sort of situation where an extremely unlikely set of circumstances need to occur to go into the tax. They will go into the tax next year most likely. I'm one of the most cynical sad sacks in this place but I feel fairly confident in that.
-
The Cubs have played in 50 games since they acquired Cuas. He's appeared in over half of them (26). That's unreal
-
He's happy, the Brewers and Twins already won their divisions
-
Kind of funny that it took the Cubs going 6-12 in an 18 game stretch to blow their WC lead...how bad do you have to be to win this horsefeathers?
-
We didn’t control our destiny last night, we don’t tonight. Just pretend nothing changed tonight. 4 games left, gotta find a way to outplay them by 1. If not, it is what it is
-
Everyone is cooked in the pen, thats why they blew the 4.5 game lead and why they're losing these games. They've apparently lost 5 games this month with a lead in the 8th or later which is tied for their most in a month in 50 years.
-
Guys they’re tied with 4 games left despite blowing 2 painful games. It’s gonna be ok. Just have to take care of business and hope the marlins lose
-
So glad I didn’t follow literally anything today. Much easier to just see the score and say oh well. Feel bad for those who had to go through that pain edit; out of curiosity though which one was more painful?

Until Moore says f- this and demands a trade to a team with a real QB, but yeah there's logic behind that. -

I saw some report from Peter King last night that claims that Poles has never been on board with Fields as their QB of the future and is not going to give him a ton more rope this year. I was too pissed off about the Cubs game to post it last night and now I cant find it lol. If King's report is accurate, seems like something Poles camp would leak right about now to distance himself from Fields and give him a chance to pick his own QB after the season.
