  1. Also, it would have been funnier if CC had gotten through 7 (he was only at 55 pitches when he got tossed) and then plunked the first batter in the 8th just so he got his bonus.
  2. Sabathia had hit a Ray player in the bottom of the 5th (almost certainly not intentional since it glanced off the back of the guys hand. Because the Romine pitch was the first one in the top of the 6th, I’m going to lean towards that being intentional.
  3. Stick around John Lackey. You’re our only hope.
  4. Chris Sale average fastball velocity since coming off the DL: 96.4 (only 1 inning) 94.4 92.8 90.4
  5. First time in franchise history with four straight playoff appearances. Eat horsefeathers, Mordecai Brown and the 1906-1908 Cubs. That gutless, choking 104 win 1909 team that went 9-13 against the Pirates deserves all the scorn they’ve gotten over the last century plus.
  6. With the caveat that I don’t expect the Cards to roll over for us if they’re eliminated, the Dodgers hurt us today. If they had won, they’d be 2 up on St Louis instead of 1. If the Rockies win tomorrow, they’ll be 2 up on St Louis. Which means the earliest the Cards can be eliminated is Saturday. If we beat them on Friday and the Dodgers win, they’ll be 2 back with 2 to play and we play before the Dodgers play on Saturday. Would have been nice to bounce St Louis Friday in the hopes that they’ll be a little off on Sat and Sun.
  7. Was just coming to post that article. Also not surprising at all that Javy and Willy also have huge splits between low/medium leverage and high leverage. Both seem to go up there anxious in a big spot like they'll swing at anything.
  8. First time in franchise history with four straight playoff appearances.
  9. First time ever the Cubs have made the playoffs four straight years.
  10. Or just leave Happ in. He's plenty fast. Then you don't lose his bat.
  11. Going to need a WP or a steal of home.
  12. If you're not going to have Gore steal, why the horsefeathers is Freeman swinging away? Just asking for a GIDP.
  13. Going to need Gore to steal 2nd, 3rd and home to win.
  14. Saving him for the WC game. At least we know we'll have that.
  15. If the Cubs can hold them here they will win it in the bottom half won't score and we'll go to the 11th.
  16. Another rocket on a 3-1 count.
  17. Also Carl shouldn't pitch unless we're up 8 or down 8. He got this horsefeathers started in the 8th.
  18. If our horsefeathering coaching staff was horsefeathering paying attention, they would have shifted like a vast majority of the teams and that would have been an easy groundout. I mean, when Cervelli stepped in, Freeman was shifted in the exact spot that the single went.
  19. If we blow this game I'm done until the playoffs.
  20. So now they have the 2Bman shaded over to the middle, right where the last ball went. Nice job, whoever is in charge of that.
