    They started it last year, every game on the last day of the season starts at the same time. Think they hope there's division/WC spots in play to add some drama. It's so you don't end up with a scenario where one team doesn't have to try because their situation was determined by a game earlier in the day and it benefits some other team just because they played 3 hours later. They started doing it in soccer years ago because a couple teams in the World Cup played a boring draw so they would both advance (had there been a winner, the loser would have been eliminated). There was also an instance where one team knew how many goals they had to score to win the tiebreaker since they played later in the day.

    We need the Dodgers and Indians to both lose tomorrow for record and run differential. Indians have matched the Cubs at +252.

    Dear Cardinals:

    Down goes USC.

    Stanton with 2 HRs today. So he's got 3 games to get one more for 60.

    It will never happen but a Heyward game winning dong would be amazing.
  7. soccer10k
    Ian should have taken until he threw a strike.
  8. soccer10k
    Get two runs. Bring in Wade. Pop bottles.

    Wilson comes in to end the Cubs rally.
  10. soccer10k
    Yeah, camera work got me excited.
  11. soccer10k
    Please make this a real rally and not a fake one.
  12. soccer10k
    Zobrist!

    Heyward! We're right back in this thing.

    That was incredibly stupid from Almora. Just play the ball off the wall.
  15. soccer10k
    Dammit.
  16. soccer10k
    Come on Rizzo. Don't let him off the hook with just the one.
  17. soccer10k
    LOL. Catchers interference.
  18. soccer10k
    Come on, Ian. Make him pay.
  19. soccer10k
    Go Brewers today, I guess.

    With 6 days in the season? No... I even skimmed that thing to check. Guess I should have read it closer. In that case, I request all home runs this week for myself and Andy (since we're the two closest) to be counted twice. After all, we can't have Duke winning after he repeatedly tried to kill the 2017 Cubs season.

    Weaver had given up 12 ER in 52 2/3 IP this year before yesterday. He gave up 8 ER in 3 IP yesterday. ERA went from 2.05 to 3.23.

    I knew Detroit was bad this year but I didn't realize they were that bad. Not that it matters too much but the Phillies and Giants are both a 1/2 game worse than the Tigers.

    One last bullet to fire. Drop Lamb Add Blackmon

    Went to GRB today to enjoy a little Cardinal misery about the games the last two days (mainly Saturday's) and before I can click on a game thread, I notice another thread titled "Carpenter's got to go". In case you're not sure which Matt Carpenter some of them want to get rid of, it's the one who: -has put up at least a .828 OPS in 5 of the last 6 seasons (2012 was a partial season) -has put up at least a .365 OBP in each of the last 6 seasons and is 14th in MLB in OBP this year and was 17th last year. -has put up at least 2.9 bWAR in each of the last 5 seasons -has put up at least 2.8 fWAR in each of the last 5 seasons -got paid 6.25M in 2016, 9.75M in 2017 and is due 13.5M and 14.5M the next two years The original post contained this: I didn't read the whole thread (it's 208 posts) but it was started in early July (Carp had a horrible .372 OBP and .816 OPS at the time) and is the second topic in their baseball talk forum.
