Rosen was 19-26, 292, 4 TDs in the 4th quarter.

They only have to go 12-14 to get to 104 so I'd say yes. They do still have 3 against Arizona, 3 against Washington and 7 against Colorado though.
-
They are pissed off about losing a scheduling advantage, plain and simple. The Brewers have the day before off while the Cubs have a night game in Pittsburgh. What's the rationale behind scheduling the Cubs for a night game in Pittsburgh anyway on getaway day? The Brewers should actually be mad at MLB for the schedule.

Just rounding into postseason form.
-
Bruce Bochy is in fine September form already. First day with expanded rosters and he uses 8 relievers to get 11 outs. Only one of them went a full inning.

Coming back to this, assuming Panama doesn't get any points later in Azteca, you have: USA 8 pts +1 GD Honduras 8 pts -6 GD Panama 7 pts -1 GD With these schedules: USA: @Hon, v.Pan, @T&T Hon: v.USA, @CR, v.Mex Pan: v.T&T, @USA, v.CR A tie and a win for the US would not only put them at 11 points, but make it extremely difficult for them to be caught since Panama would likely be on 10 points and Honduras 9 entering the final game day where the US has by far the best matchup. 4 points from the next 2 games isn't a given, but Honduras hasn't exactly defended their home field well, and there's other uncertainties like Panama taking 3 from T&T(they haven't won at home in the hex). We're fine unless Costa Rica clinches a top-3 against Mexico and decides to not try in their last two games. It's unlikely with the matchups but Mexico would absolutely tank that last game if it screwed us over. But the only way that would happen is if we beat/tied Honduras but lost to Panama and then Honduras won in Costa Rica. Even to finish third we could lose a close one to Honduras and still be fine because of goal differential. Lose to Honduras, win the next two and Honduras would have to beat Mexico by 7 goals or something to make up the GD.

The big run started with a 16-2 stretch after getting swept by the Phillies. Related note, it's funny how big that 4 game sweep of the Giants was considering they won the second wild card by 13 games, but they were actually a half game back of the Giants before the series started.
-
The bottom half of the draw has a bunch of guys left who have never made a major final and made a combined 1 major semifinal. Murray (2nd) pulled out while Zverev (4th), Cilic (5th), and Tsonga (8th) all lost already. Isner at 10 is the highest seeded player and Querry is the only one to have ever made a semi. Meanwhile, the top half has the best four players left by seed plus Del Potro and Monfils, who both have at least as many QF and more semis than everyone still alive on the bottom half combined.

I'm pretty sure Coomer just said "Darby Swanson".
-
You forgot the most annoying part - that he frequently does it on pitches that are right over the heart of the plate. And not curves from lefties either. He does it on fastballs from righties.
-
Another dong for Stanton tonight. That's 18 this month and 30 in the last two months combined (one off the record).
-
On Olney's pod today he said Stanton is tied with Sosa for 2nd in HRs in 2 consecutive months behind only Albert Belle. I was surprised it was Bonds so I looked up his splits in 2001 and he topped out at 28. That also led me to see that Bonds hit .403/.607/1.078/1.685 with 16 HRs in Sept, which is just insane.

At one point earlier this year I said something along the lines that the Cubs could win 100+ games each year for a decade straight, win the World Series each year, and he'd still overreact like this. It's just who he is and nothing the Cubs do will ever change it. I mean you're probably right but there have been plenty of frustrating moments this year that at least somewhat warrant some of it. You declared the game over at 2-0 in the first inning. That would be a stupid thing to do if it was the 2012 Cubs playing this year's Dodger team with Kershaw pitching. This is, at the very least, a decent Cubs team playing a crappy Phillies team. It's just a flat out dumb thing to post or think. There's a big difference between complaining about a starting pitcher getting knocked around or a player on another team killing the Cubs and saying a game is over in the 1st inning.

How many World Series do we have to win before people like him aren't complete idiots in game threads? At one point earlier this year I said something along the lines that the Cubs could win 100+ games each year for a decade straight, win the World Series each year, and he'd still overreact like this.

Sorry guys but none of this counts. Schwarber Fan conceeded this game to the Phillies after the 1st inning.
-
You are the worst. Just go away.

Prince Fielder got $24M to not play this year, and has another $72M coming over the next three seasons And he is still more valuable than Pujols, who has between -1 and -2 WAR by both B-R and Fangraphs. I know it's been brought up before but man we dodged a bullet in 2011.
-
Albert Pujols is hitting .231/.276/.381 (and doing it batting 3rd or 4th all year). He's due $114M over the next four years. Miguel Cabrera is hitting .254/338/.405 this year. He's due $192M over the next six years.
-
Stanton hit two more homers tonight and has 49 on the year.
-
Thanks for ruining my game thread run before it even started, jerks.

CUBS are 34-30 on the road CUBS are 25-13 in the second half CUBS are 12-10 in August CUBS are 8-12 on Friday CUBs are 4-3 when Quintana starts CUBS are 3-1 against the Phillies this year CUBS are 1227-1106-18 all time against the Phillies Go CUBS !!

Spurs drew the toughest group with Real and Dortmund. Could see it coming when Man U and Man City drew two of the weaker teams from Pot 1. Chelsea got a tough one also with Atletico and Roma. Poor APOEL is the 4th team in Tottenham's group. They could break the record for most goals allowed in the group stage.

Of those 12 losses, only twice did the Cubs not have the potential tying run bat in the 9th: - a 6-2 loss in Arizona where the Cubs scored 2 in the 9th and Zobrist struck out to end the game with runners on first and third. - a 11-4 loss to the Cards that the Cubs led 3-2 in the 8th I think they did the same thing to start last season where in the first couple months, there were only a couple of games that they got blown out and didn't have a chance to win late.
-
I told a friend the other day that excluding the Cubs, there's not much I'd rather see in the playoffs than the Dodgers getting bounced in the NLDS. He asked if I'd like it even if it was the Cards eliminating them. I got annoyed just thinking about the possibility of an 85 win Cards team winning the WC game and bouncing a 110 win Dodger team.

That's rough for Hill. Perfect through 8, no-hitter through 9, give up 1 runner that's your fault and lose the game.
