Has to be a Schwarber GIDP, right?
-
Oh, man, that just means we are going to be playing a desperate team that needs to pull out all the stops against us. The way our season is going, if you told me we could end St Louis’s season for the third time in four years, but wouldn’t win the division and would either lose the WC game to the Rockies or to the Brewers in the LDS, I’d probably take it.
-
On the plus side, the Rockies are up 8-1 so if the results hold, the Cards will be half a game out.
-
Contreras K or weak groundout PH fly out Murphy solo dong Zobrist weak groundout on 3-1 or 2-0. Happ in means I’m changing the second out to a K.

Probably the medical staff. PTR had to cut back So some people had to double up jobs.
-
So we’re definitely falling to a WC spot and then we’re going to lose to the Cards, right? That seems like the fitting way for this horsefeathering season to end.

If it’s 0.5 after tonight I lean towards no just because of the schedules. If it’s 1.5 I think we at least tie. If it’s 2.5 then yes we win the division. If it's 2.5 after tonight I will run down the block naked. There will be no proof. You will just have to take my word for it. Oh that’s definitely not happening. Just figured I’d include it in case the Pirates just let us take our last 15 outs all in one inning.

You were one of the four in my quick poll last week that had the Cubs winning the division. Still? Or no? If it’s 0.5 after tonight I lean towards no just because of the schedules. If it’s 1.5 I think we at least tie. If it’s 2.5 then yes we win the division.
-
Sorry Len, the only crooked number the Cubs are putting up tonight is if the scoreboard guy was hanging out with Joe before the game and hangs the 1 at an angle.
-
Willy says not to worry, if the ump won’t call strike 3, he’ll just have to swing and miss to get the job done.
-
Oh good a runner. Perfect time for a Willy GIDP.
-
Holy horsefeathers KB. That was as middle middle as a fastball could be. Swing the horsefeathering bat.
-
So who hits our solo homer today? I’ll go Murphy.
-
Good work Monty.
-
8 pm central start time.
-
why couldnt they start this game at 1 today? Because then the Brewers would cry about us getting special treatment.
-
I hope we skip over Blauser and go right to Rossy (or whatever random crappy middle infielder that you want who has worn #3 that we’ve employed over the last decade).
-
Yeah we need the 2 game L column lead at minimum going in to the weekend, imo. Can’t be depending on Tigers win(s)/sweeping the Cardinals. We should really win these next 3 games and take care of business ourselves and not depend on the stupid cardinals for help. Yeah, if we win and the Cards win tomorrow, we're fine. Then we're 2.5 up with 5 to play (4 for Mil). Then I only care that we win on Wednesday. Worst case scenario for us now is Milwaukee sweeps. That means they're, at worst, 1.5 back going into our extra game on Thursday.

Tommy Pham is hitting .347/.444/.620 since moving to the Rays.
-
This will come as a surprise to literally no one, but Bob Nightengale probably has no idea what he's talking about in this case either. [tweet] [/tweet]

What happened with the ump?
-
I think the most frustrating part of this season is we haven't had any sustained stretch of dominant baseball. In 2015 and 2017, we lit up the league in the second half. In 2016, we lit up the league for the entire season outside of 20 games before the ASB. We haven't had that this year. In 2015, we had 11 stretches where we went 12-3 or better over 15 games. 2016 we had 22. 2017 we had 8. This year we have 4. In 2015, we had 15 stretches where we went 15-5 or better over 20 games. 2016 we had too many for me to count. Last year we had 4. This year we have 2. Last three years we had a second half winning percentage of at least .660, this year we're at .571. This isn't to say we're not a good team because we obviously are. Just saying why it feels different from the last three years.

Lets hope this is like the White Sox series where we lay an egg the first game but still win the series.

Sigh.
