Balta1701 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) On pace for best 2nd half ERA in MLB history. Just have to hope Cardinals hold them off forNL Central crown. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) 6. games. back. Not even in 2nd place. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Cardinals about to lose the suspended game also. Lost 7 of 9 and looking awful. I don't get why Broxton is getting important innings for him, he was freaking awful in Milwaukee. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) The Cardinals have lost 7 of 9. I guess that clearly invalidates 5 months of a .650 winning percentage. They're totally losing that division. They should have sold at the trade deadline. Like how when the White Sox won 7 straight it propelled them to the best record in baseball and clearly established they were the best team. That winning streak still hasn't ended. All right, I'm bumping this. Despite everything above...on September 12 the Cardinals lead was 6 games. On September 24, the Cardinals lead is 7 games. The Cardinals elimination number for knocking the Cubs out of the division is 4. The Cubs are on their way to the playoffs and about to clinch the wild card, but the Pirates lead on them has held steady and is up to 3 - the 2 teams have a 3 game series this weekend and unless the Cubs sweep or the Pirates fall apart the Cubs are likely to have to go to PNC park for the Wild Card.

LittleHurt05 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 NL Wild card game at 7:08 PM on October 7. Blackhawks home opener and banner raising at 7:00 PM on October 7.

Harry Chappas Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) Ha, even when the Cubs win, they lose I'd take that in a hearbeat as a White Sox fan and seeing a banner raised does nothing for me in comparison to my team playing playoff baseball. The cub game will greatly overshadow a pretty meaningless hockey game. Opening Day in baseball ends a long cold winter. Opening day in hockey even with a banner raising signifies the start of a long cold winter. Game one of hockey playoffs is my equivalent to baseball opening day.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but it annoys me to no end how many people think that Arrieta is a better pitcher overall after one great season.

Basically the Pirates need to not be swept in this series. If they win 1/3, the Cubs have an almost impossible task of catching them for home field in the WC game and the Pirates are 50-25 at home on the year.
