NL Central Thread 2016

God, I don't ask much of you. But if the Cubs can get to the NLCS, I'll become a dirty Protestant, I swear.

FOX Keys to the Game:
Cardinals: Take care of business
Cubs: Don't let up


Insightful as always.

Management and coaching makes the difference. It was inevitable that the cubs were going to the WS soon with a coach and manager with several WS' under their belt.

Bases loaded. No outs. Cards walk a run in to make it a one run game.

HTF do the Cubs fuck that up!!! Dammit!!!

 

[scoutyjones2]

LOL...The Scrubs really Cardinal'ed that bases loaded situation up! They tried to give you the game...but, phew, Cards pull one out. 7 more to 100

Oh look, another Cardinal injury...and a player missing games because of a Scrubby slide!

I'm beginning to believe the Cards, Bucs, and Cubs are incapable of losing to any team but each other.
This is ridiculous.

This weekend is going to be PRIME.

There have been 3 days this year when all 3 teams lost on the same day and 37 days when all 3 won on the same day... LOL

Before the year I had the Cubs at 95-67 so Im looking good there, of course I also had them winning the division with that record. In reality they could easily end up a few games better than that and still finish in 3rd. Thats crazy

Its kinda nuts that the 2nd and 3rd best teams in baseball will be playing a single elimination game to get into the playoffs

What's the record for that? As any other divisions had their top 3 only lose 3 times together? Or more than 37?

Not sure. Didn't actually see the stat anywhere. Just looked at their schedules and did it myself. Pretty amazing when you consider they play each other so much

Can't get a runner in from third with one out in the ninth down by one at home.

Not with Soler and Baez up anyway. Dont think we could have had 2 worse guys coming up since both of them swing at shit pitches all the time
