So Quintana would start a tiebreaker or wildcard game? Or Lester on short rest?

 

[anotheridiot]

well, Q had not done bad and he only got to 70 some pitches. I would think they would prefer Lester wild card game over a game where they do not control all their own destiny. I mean, its Tiebraker, wild card game, then immediate series right?

I still prefer the offer of hookers to the detroit clubhouse.

If the cubs take 2 of 3 from the cards I'll be happy regardless of what happens with MIL and DET.

60/40 Cubs favored tonight. I've lived forever around sucky Cardinal fans. I want them to suck themselves right out of the playoffs at this point.

Will you be happy if Cubs win 2/3, Milwaukee sweeps, and then beats us in a tiebreaker?

Boston has 107 wins winning at a .673 clip. 2/3 is .667 winning clip. Right now Milwaukee is defying odds.

Does it matter that they are defying odds? Results are all that matter, not excuses.

Winning a series is a positive result.

Heck of a game by Hendricks.

Yep. Not very comfortable with only a 2 run lead if the bullpen comes in. Luckily Hendricks' pitch count is low.

Now go get your shine box !

 

[beckdawg]

Interesting note from the game.... in game 1 of this 3 game series the cards have used 6 guys from their bullpen. Might come into play sat and sun. Importantly Hicks threw 22 pitches.

Just looked at the DET MIL lineups. Don't recognize anyone on DET's lineup

 

[beckdawg]
