My mistake

So the Cubs will sweep them

We're 3-2 against the Cubs this year, and we blew an 8 run lead in one loss and replay fucked us in the other. Ain't skeered of the Cubs. Terrified of the Dodgers and Rockies though.

And the Angels were 8-1 against the Red Sox in 2008. That worked out real well for them...

I wouldn't expect us to win any series, really, I'd just be happy to get there this season, but it just feels good to know we have beaten a team to make it seem like we have a chance.

I actually going to propose an avatar bet to you this series but forget to bring it up and am realllyyyyy glad I didn't.

When did the Pirates become the Mets offensively?

Going to be a fun September for sure in the NL. All these races are going to be awesome to watch. Will be interesting to see which teams make it.

We're a better road team than home team, and we're undefeated in starting pitchers making their MLB debut this season. Weird things happen in baseball.

8 plausible teams chasing 5 spots with a month+ to go, that's pretty cool.

They all blow compared to the AL teams making the playoffs but that doesn't lessen the fun of a wide open pennant race.

Cardinals are hitting really well and beating teams in the later innings with a strong bullpen. Tyler O Neill is a mess in the outfield, though.

Rockies look like they're surging at the moment. Both teams have a series coming up so that should be interesting.

Dodgers and Cubs are leaving dudes on bases a lot lately. Not sure that is going to last so I think both of those teams have runs in them.

In all fairness, Braves haven't faced any of the Cubs 3 best starters....won't be that way in a playoff series...

Cardinals pitchers are like Patriots running backs right now. They'll win games and wreck fantasy teams all at the same time.

Just play the Pirates and you can guarantee a jump in the wildcard race. Next up for a winning streak the Brewers.

Crazy to think the Dodgers may not make the playoffs but 3.5 back of WC2 and 2 other teams 3 games ahead of you is a tough ask with only 35ish games left.

Total schadenfreude of course but I would LOVE for the Dodgers to miss the playoffs

Ehh not really. The only team ahead of them I would say is tough for them to catch would be St. Louis. Colorado playing damn good baseball but they have 6 games left with Colorado so that can be handled on the field.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the Phillies.

Cardinals swept them almost entirely because their closer stunk and the Dodgers left a million runners on base.

I can't imagine the 2nd thing is a trend but a bum closer can lose you a playoff race.

You can count the Rockies out they’re not making shit, they sweep the Braves but then lose 2/3 to the fucking Padres. That’s who this team is, garbage.
