The Cubs try to complete the sweep and finish the season on an 8-game winning streak. They know they’ll be playing Pittsburgh on October 7th, but they don’t know where yet. The Reds try to take 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh. If both of those happen, the game on Wednesday will be at Wrigley Field. If the Cubs lose or if Pittsburgh wins, the game is at PNC.

Why are they playing a DH today? I just figured they wouldn’t make the game up.

Coghlan better hit today after all kvetching he did about PT

Mercurial Outfielder,
He hadn’t done much for quite awhile until last night.

I hate the erds

Exactly, but he has been a lot better at not pounding the ball into the ground 96% of the time.

Your redundant comment was better than the repetitive promos on MLBTV

Aramis is third in the league in games played without playing in a WS, behind Ichiro and Hunter.

Blue Jays probably regretting doing Mark Buehrle a solid to try to get his IP to 200.

I’d think so, but the Royals were leading last I checked so it may not have mattered one way or the other.

Len and JD just mentioned something about people questioning Arrieta’s start against Pittsburgh last week since he’ll face them Wednesday. Really? People are doing that?

Haren is starting to Haren.

Dan Haren is not good at sports anymore.

Great play by Castro.

Whenever these things come up, I gotta imagine it’s other media guys groping for narratives, not necessarily fans.
Suburban kidQuote Reply
Mercurial Outfielder,
You’d think 85 mph fastballs would fool Major League hitters, but no.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Suburban kid,
I guess that will be the narrative on Wednesday if he gives up a couple runs and they lose. I’m glad I pay no attention to them anymore. If it’s just the media, I wish Len and JD wouldn’t even mention it. Or maybe they could say “earmuffs” to alert me.

Pirates had a ceremony for A-Ram and A.J. before their game, and gave them bad paintings of themselves.
Suburban kidQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
It would help if his one pitch was a good one
Mercurial OutfielderQuote Reply
Here you go, Aramis, we didn’t think much of you when you were younger so we traded you. Here’s a painting to make up for it.
dmick89Quote Reply
If I was the Pirates, I’d just walk the leadoff man and let him steal 2nd and 3rd and then retire the side with no runs scored.
dmick89Quote Reply
2-0 Pirates
Suburban kidQuote Reply
Wow. Two straight grounders against Haren.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
It’s time for the Erds to at least make this a more interesting day.
dmick89Quote Reply
So, Haren actually was just fine against Brewers.

Votto took the usual 13-pitch walk.

Another tootblan in the erds game

Maddon really wants his safety squeeze.

Too bad the Reds suck ass, eh fellas?

They made it interesting yesterday, but fell apart on Friday. Had they just held on that night, the game would be at Wrigley. Oh well. Arrieta.

I couldn’t be happier for Bryant’s performance today if he did get his 100th RBI.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I believe in the power of the Jake.

Shit Bryant, my arm hurts just watching that.

I’ve never enjoyed a third-place team so much.
