We have a brutal schedule ahead. I thought I read 13 of the last 16 are with teams in first or second place. We are eliminated from the division title- now it's all about the WC.

It’s definitey a long shot, but 3.5 back in the division and 3 games each against the Cubs and Brewers, we are not eliminated from the division.

16 left. 9-7 gets us 90 wins. That should be good enough for the WC.

2 weeks ago 90 wins seemed like a cakewalk. Unfortunately they've pissed away the start of September and have just scuffled along at .500 the whole time.

They really should have a shot at 93-94 wins but they've just lost a ton of momentum due to really poor situational hitting.

Don't worry. The Dodgers suck now. :facepalm:

on the flip side, considering they were .500 until Matheny was fired and we have now the 4th best record in the NL, it ain’t so bad.

Every team in the NL besides the Brewers, has been inconsistent lately. How do you think the fans of the Dodgers, D-Backs, Rockies and Cubs feel right now?

We went to LA and swept them. Rockies and won the series. We have been Kershaws kryponite. 4.20 ERA. 2-6 W/L. We beat him tonight the WC is almost ours.

I think I could hit off Norris.

defintely going to need some strong kryptonite tonight. Kershaw 114-3 when given a 3 run lead.

Going to need more than 3 if Gomber can't find a put away pitch.

Feeling like it's game 6 and 7 of the WS all over and Maddon forgot how to manage baseball. Cubs are in the middle of a 23 or so game stretch with no day off and it's taking it's toll on the players but Maddon has been epically stupid.

Might have just lost Strop for the remainder of the season because with the bases loaded in the 10th and only 1 out he decides to let Strop hit after he was brought in during the 8th and he ends up pulling his hammy running to first.

I’m getting tired of those same pathetic AB’s from Martinez. He just looks at a get over strike. No intention of swinging. Then he gets shit from the pitcher the rest of the AB. Finishing up with a pitch in the dirt way over in the other batters box that he swings at like it’s little league. And they keep batting him 3rd.

Does our playoff hopes die this weekend?

We need a split. 1-3 leaves us tied with the Dodgers and momentum behind them.

Ran into some tickets for tomorrows game. They look to be good seats in the Home Redbird Club. I haven't been to a game at the new stadium and I am looking for suggestions for parking. I will be coming in from Columbia via I-70.

I sat in the same section earlier this week. Nice seats with a privateish option for food with some tables you can actually sit down and eat at.

We parked in the garage at the northwest corner of the stadium. $20 may not be the cheapest but you are literally one turn onto 64 and can get onto 70 that way.
