you don't?

it's the even year curse.
and the cubs are the cubs.

Giants this year isn't the even year Giants we expected. Cubs can hit. Even on a bad day Cubs can put up numbers.

 

[IceBringer]

Cubs aren't hitting lately. They're gonna choke in the playoffs

 

[BFIB]

Just now realizing that the Nats or Dodgers are gonna have to make it out of the first round. Is the universe gonna even allow that to happen?

Nats win, then Daniel continues the Murphy curse on the Cubs. Indians win it all and everyone rejoices.

 

[Line_HTX]

11 to go, gotta win them all out.

Fuck the Rangers.

 

[distantmantra]

Ugh. Going to the game today.

Please go home, Canadians. I love you guys but not when the Jays are in town. Kthxbye.

 

[Corran Horn]

You should of believed in Romo all this time.

Romo is great until he gives up a home run... Which is often enough to give scare for a one run lead.

 

[GK86]

I don't want to see the hitless wonder that is Bruce in the lineup today.

 

[Line_HTX]

How come no one told me about Chris Devenski? Last 11 appearances: 17 IP, 6 hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, 20 Ks.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I spent over an hour on this avatar. Don't let me down tonight Dodgers!

While a 3-team tiebreaker would be hilarious, I don't see it happening. How would that even work? STL @ SF, then loser @ NY to see who faces the winner of the first game?

Depends on record, right? NYM and STL tied the season series, STL beat SF, NYM beat SF. I would guess the Mets get a spot and the winner of SF@STL would face them. But if STL wins, the location of the WC game would depend on intradivision record, I think, since NYM and STL tied for the season series.

I sort of hope this happens for maximum fuckery

edit: or maybe SF isn't even in because they lost both of the season series?


Double edit: per MLB, it would be NYM @ STL to determine first WC spot, then the loser vs SF for the second spot. Much less confusing than I thought :lol

Wow, no way the Mets make it out of that. I see the Cards getting in if the tie happens

 

[BFIB]

No 3 way tie. Selig fucking things up even in retirement.

 

[BFIB]

Gonna find this schmuck and take her BFIB card.

Of course they're going to choke in the playoffs.

I bet a division series sweep knocks them out.

[perfectchaos007]

Gattis with a 2 run HR. Astros lead 4-1

 

[jello44]

I just saw a dude wearing Blue Jays gear at the Astros/A's game.

I think he got lost on the way to Seattle.

I give them 1 win. Lester will win his game and that's it

As a native St. Louisan who used to live down the street from Wrigley, please do

They sandbagging it. Nothing there to play for now.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Dumb strategy that bites teams in the ass every year. They sandbag and then in the playoffs when they try to "turn it back on" they find themselves struggling to do so. Its better to keep your foot on the gas in every game.

 

[Line_HTX]

Evan Gattis CF 439 ft, what...

 

[PROh1bited]

JOSE!!!

 

[Lexxism]

Wooooo tie game

 

[Future Foundation]

Holy shit, you guys weren't kidding about Seattle sounding like Toronto.

 

[Mortemis]

Eddie just can't get his fastball high. Hope he can fix his fastball control.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Dat bautista skip

 

[Chris R]

Eddie just can't get his fastball high. Hope he can fix his fastball control.

Should only pitch the 9th, never more than that.

This is 2 now that he's blown, but only when asked to pitch some combo of 8th+9th

 

[Line_HTX]

Umpires reviewed the call...

OUT AT 2nd BASE!

ASTROS SWEEP A'S!

Baltimore better be afraid. Be very afraid!

Hope you guys take us too now that we're out of it.

Anyone but the Red Sox or Rangers at this point from the AL is fine by me.

I think y'all are still alive, but I agree... anyone but the Rangers.

Nah, Jays need to get knocked out. Please go home.

 

[ShaneB]

I mean the Jays can bunt right? =/

 

[Loco4Coco]

Bruceless line-up and the Mets already winning. Coincidence?

 

[Malo]

Sanchez is a baseball god

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Fucking Gibby, Tepera is going to lose it for us.

 

[Caja 117]

Sanchez is a baseball god

Arod sacrifice himself for the greater good.

 

[ShaneB]

God dammit.

 

[Line_HTX]

Wow, Bucholz got out of that no out jam.

LOL, TORONTO PLEASE

 

[Mortemis]

We avoid a sweep and stay (barely) alive. All that luck that's avoided us in the last 15 years, feel free to come pouring in now.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Lackey looks hurt. Topping out at 88-89.

 

[Slime]

Gibby puts in Loup and Tepera, and it's Donaldson that loses them the game.

 

[Malo]

Sanchez has more homeruns than anyone on the Giants.
