Common misconception about the 2018 Cubs is that they blew the division. Sure they could’ve played better but they were still winning. The Brewers won that thing. Cubs played September to roughly their overall pace. This year the record isn’t as good but a 7-3 streak is great but the Cardinals just keep winning. Frustrating. Edit: Scoring 1 run in our last 3 losses didn’t help the viewpoint but that team was still pulling out Ws. That was just the culmination of the 2nd half. In the first half they scored 476 runs in 93 (5.1 per) games with a +114 RD. In the 2nd they scored 285 in 70 (4.07) games with a +2. They played way over their heads in the 2nd half and won many games we really had no business winning. If the Cardinals had outplayed their RD that badly everybody here would be screaming magic dust luck. This year they scored 455 in 90 (5.1) and a +55 in the 1st half and are at 188 in 41 (4.6) and a +9. Not even doom-bonering here but they have sputtered in a similar fashion. Our Pythag was still 3 games better than Milwaukee so the Brewers were probably the more lucky team. Especially since they won a game because Adolis Garcia fell rounding 3rd instead of tying the game and the next game Castellanos deflected a ball over the fence for what would be agame winning home run. My point being was that we didn’t have some dog horsefeathers September. The Brewers only losing 7 games did us in. Of course aided by us losing 4 of 6 vs them. Could’ve been a 3-3 split if Carl and Cishek aided by Bryant didn’t give up 2 of the most dumb runs ever.

This sounds an awful lot like last year, though. Not exactly a comfortable feeling.If the Cardinals go play like .800 baseball from August to the end of September like the Brewers did last year there isn’t much you can do Common misconception about the 2018 Cubs is that they blew the division.

Sucks using everyone that’s trusted or semi trusted tonight but the W is all that matters.

We are going to end up losing this one

Would’ve been nice to have a relaxing game but I guess not.

What a night by Javy!

I am not watching another second of baseball after this horsefeathers show. It’s definitely tough to watch but I’m still aware of what’s going on and don’t want to live during a Cardinals and Yankees WS. Plus the Dodgers not being able to break through despite being pretty damn good for a decade is hilarious.

Well if the Cubs don’t make it I’ll probably be rooting for the Nats. The Cardinals and Dodgers are definite no gos.

That’s horsefeathering hilarious

Setting up the force probably would’ve been the best option in both scenarios.

Lmao. 2.5 back headed on the road vs 3 tough pitchers.

Needed a little bit bigger of a dick from Nick there.

Haha. Probably not 80 percent, but it will be a lot of percent. Yeah not quite. Since August 1st (including today) 104 runs, 52 from homers. So, 50% on the nose.

Are we desperate enough for this batter to hit a walkoff homer?

Dirty Craig!! I’d like to thank Robles and the Babip Gods for their assistance!

109 Is that all?? Haha

Weak liner by Soto there.

Great start to continue our trend of allowing runs after we tie it.

Walk Trea and he’ll steal

Ryan got the weak contact. Wick had thrown 24 pitches and only 12 for strikes and had already walked 2. Soto is pretty even vs lefties and righties but better at working walks vs righties. Got unlucky with the weak contact. That’s baseball.

horsefeathering losers

Tie it up then get on the edge of giving it right back up immediately.

Hoping it's Pedro that is IL bound. Holland it is.

Umps are going to miss but just say you call what you thought you saw, otherwise you are going to look like a jackass.

A sad ending to Strop’s Cub career.
