Reds win tonight with Castillo pitching.  

 

 

They already played. And the Reds fucking lost. Again.  Cunts.

Brewers go to Coors to close out the season. Hopefully those assholes can slug their way to at least one fucking win.

[Beau Vine 54429]

Tabernac!

[Capn81 373]

I have a feeling we need Milwaukee to lose twice in Colorado. I was hoping that the Reds would do something today, but of course, they fucking suck.

Yeah this is feeling very dicey, especially how the pitching is lining up.

• Hudson vs. TBD tomorrow (feel OK about this)
• Mikolis vs. Darvish on Saturday (hmmm)
• Waino vs. Hendricks on Sunday (in Waino we trust?)

The good news is that Busch will be full and rocking.  The Friday game feels like a MUST WIN with Darvish and Hendricks coming on Saturday and Sunday.

Cubs getting beat early by the bucs. Maddon probably isn't coming back. Maybe they check out? Hopefully?  

Or don't go 6-20nor whatever we did in May. That would help, too.

Negative. 

Quote

Already eliminated from the postseason this week, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was asked if he'll play his regular lineup against the Cards.

"We're going to put a good team out there, but of course they're going to bitch," Maddon said with a laugh. "Of course they are. I get it. But quite frankly, there are certain things I don't give a s--- about. And that would be one of them."

Cubs pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish have been shut down, and stars Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez are all nursing injuries. Righty Alec Mills will start Friday's series opener against Dakota Hudson, and Cole Hamels is slated to pitch a few innings Saturday against Cards starter Miles Mikolas. Hamels has been out with a sore shoulder and is only pitching to prove he's healthy entering free agency.

"This is the first time I'm going into free agency and I don't want that in the back of team's heads," Hamels said.

The Cubs haven't announced a starter for Sunday and could just go with a "bullpen game." Maddon says his team will still compete; it just won't be with many of the regulars.

"I will put out the guys that I think are the appropriate guys to play based on what's good for our people, not for their people," he said. "But we're going to put a good team out there, regardless."

Changed it. Going Hudson tomorrow and waino Saturday. Sunday will depend on where everything stands. 

[oSuJeff97 3435]

I feel MUCH better about Hudson/Waino on Friday/Saturday.  Waino may not be in his prime any more, but he's had a good second half and I trust in him big spots, even without his A+ stuff.

[The Dude 1246]

Colorado trying to do their part, now let’s get some runs

[pops 7006]

I fucking give up. Keystone fucking cops

Not to beat a dead horse, but giving up seven runs in one inning says a lot about the manager's bullpen management acumen.

Jesus Kee-rist, Waino.

Is the wildcard game in St Louis or Washington?

Rockies keeping cards alive

No matter who wins between the Cards & Brewers, the wildcard game is in Washington. 

[pops 7006]

Wow, maddon doesn't even give a shit. He was easily safe a 2nd. No challenge. 

[OnAComputer 1405]

Soooo.... Central division champs for the 12th time in the Wildcard era.

LETS.FUCKING.GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2740]

Yup. I’ll take it.

[Beau Vine 54429]

 

Huzzah!

[Pimphand 5889]

Rockies swept them bitchassy hoes

[oSuJeff97 3435]

Feels good.

The proper order has been restored.

I don't get the Cubs firing Maddon.  Two years removed from a WS title and this is the first year they haven't made the playoffs under him; also, their run differential suggests that they should have... basically they had terrible luck this year.

Those dumb fucks are going to regret booting him.

Would be kind of hilarious if the Pirates hired him, but then I don't want him in the NLC. 

[spystud13 2371]

Well, they didn’t exactly fire him, contract is up. Hou ain’t firing Cole either. 

[pops 7006]

Get Jack for 2 in the braves series. Hopefully they can give him some run support. Haven't hardly paid attention to the braves since the divisions split but seems like their season was even more improbable than the cards. Need to get hot.

Any word on Wong?

[oSuJeff97 3435]

Wong said during the post-game/celebration interviews yesterday that he was available to pinch hit yesterday and will be "ready to go" in Atlanta.

[Beau Vine 54429]

Either 4/5pm on Thursday and 3:30 Friday.  Fucking hell, I'm supposed to be in a worthless university-level committee meeting at 3:30 on Friday.  Pretty sure I'm going to come down with some sort of malady.  

[Beau Vine 54429]

Fuck the Braves: 

 

 

[jimmyjazz 46130]

For what it's worth, head-to-head records this season:

 

Cardinals VS Nationals  5-2 (0.714)

Cardinals VS Dodgers   4-3 (0.571)

Cardinals VS Brewers   10-9 (0.526)

Cardinals VS Braves   2-4 (0.333)

[pops 7006]

Didn't we catch the braves for a series in May when we couldn't even beat a redheaded step child?

We went 1-2 against the Braves twice in May:  3 games in Atlanta, 3 games in St. Louis.

 

[oSuJeff97 3435]

Well I was ready to start talking shit about the return of CardinalsDevilMagic, but with Carlos giving me an ulcer every time he trots out there, I think I'll keep my mouth shut, lol.

[Capn81 373]

C-Mart doing C-Mart things. What an incredible waste of a great Waino start by him and the offense.

[jimmyjazz 46130]

Glad I missed that game.  Jesus.

[You don't know me 1161]

Did anyone else listen to the Cardinal radio broadcast yesterday?  On Ocuna's double in the 9th Mike Shannon just deadpans "well that's another homerun".  Nope, just a double.  I swear, he has a way of making me want to do very bad things.

To be fair, Shannon was likely hammered at that point.

Isn't that one of the flying Molina's?  Doesn't Bengie do the Spanish cards play by play?

[jimmyjazz 46130]

Hell if I know.

[jimmyjazz 46130]

Well, I've been rooting for the Cardinals for over 5 decades, and I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like 10-0 after the top of the first.

It feels like Rout 66, but from the other perspective.

[The Dude 1246]

Well.  That was a nice inning 🥳

[jimmyjazz 46130]

Lulz at the double triple off the wall.

Followed by a double off the wall.

I'm staying off the main thread, nobody needs to rub it in, and it looks dead.  I will say this -- the Cards needed a game like this big time.  They will be sky high going into the next roun, assuming no crazy letdowns.

[Beau Vine 54429]

I had a meeting at 3:45.  I sat myself at the far corner of the table and watched that inning on my phone.  I don't think anyone realized.  Can't believe I didn't yell out anything or start clapping.  

[jimmyjazz 46130]

Need to pull Flaherty.  He'll pitch Monday regardless, but why hit him now?

[You don't know me 1161]

I like a good ballgame, but I like it this way much better.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2740]

Still playing with house money as far as I’m concerned.

[TonyTexas 10527]

I like this manager

 

[The Dude 1246]

Pretty awesome. Rook should have left the phone in his locker though lol

fify.

Yeah, that is completely out of bounds to film something like that and post it.  "Doesn't leave the locker room" is kind of rule number 1.  I will guarantee you that Goldschmidt wants to beat his ass, even though he's pretty much a pacifist.
