NL Central thread

That's why games are 9 innings long.

And sometimes longer than that.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Are you trying to say that if IFS and BUTS were candy and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas?

@scoutyjones2 is just a little slow tomcat. I was trying to have a little fun with his "remember his name" reference to JF...oh well, I tried.

Good effort but what is even more sad is that scouty calls Cardinals fans morons even though he spells it 'morans'. I guess swinging that ax in the pacific northwest to split firewood so that his ass won't freeze to death during the winter has affected his moronic brain.

Never seen this before?

Yep, scouty has posted it many times but I've always tried to spell correctly.

The Cubs -270 lose at home tonight to the Marlins.

Wow...the Brewers play at the Cubs this weekend then don't play the Cards or Cubs again until the end of July...that's kind of odd scheduling.

They've already played each other numerous times in the first month.

I don't understand how the MLB office sets up the schedule either. The Cardinals played two series at the Brewers before the Brewers played their first series at the Cardinals earlier this season.

Odd schedule indeed. The Brewers are done with the Mets and the Dodgers already. Da fuq

Getting the Dodgers out of the way early is a good thing. Looking at who the Brewers have played already(the Cards and Cubs, too), all 3 teams are going to have great records at the end.

Yes it is an odd schedule but at least with your Brewers having finished with the Mets and Dodgers you won't be having to face some of the NL's better pitchers the rest of the way.

I'd like to think the Cubs, Brewers, and Cards will all have great records at the end but I think these three teams will be exchanging wins and loses against each other so much, simply by playing against each other so much, before the season ends in the tough NL Central, that a wildcard team might not even come out of this division, but we'll see. I do think the winner of the NL Central will be battle tested and ready for the playoffs however.

Maybe, but outside the division so far

Cubs 10-7
Cards 11-5
Brewers 12-7


Can the Central keep it up? Who knows?

 

[Clayton]

Cards need to start winning in the division. Im going to tomorrows game so maybe I'll get to see a divisional win

That's Scouty!

Not looking good today. Down 4-0 in the 7th.
Then tomorrow starts a 4 game series with Pitt. That'll be 17 days in a row they have played.

We agree on 'maybe' and that's why I said "we'll see".

Most of us here talk about the big 3 in the NL Central but I think the Pirates should be included in our conversations too. I know, many people will say the Pirates will fade but his could be true with any of the big 3 as well with a key injury, suspension, or just plain bad luck. Thanks for posting the big 3's record outside the division since I haven't looked it up lately. This NL Central is loaded and MAYBE the team that wins it won't have the best record in the NL when the playoffs begin because of this.

I hope you enjoy the game! With the Pirates hot and the Cardinals cold I hope your attendance will turn things around. I hope you won't see Wacha giving up a grand slam either.
