Had to go on a medical call, was hoping I’d come back to a rally….probably a good thing I missed that bad call🤬

Yeah you were better off not seeing that call. It made my blood pressure rise. I am ok this morning and to the point where I am not going to let these games bother me anymore. We just aren't playing good right now so if we miss the playoffs, it will be disappointing but not shocking. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The only thing that will make believe again is, if we sweep Colorado. We need all 3 and we should win all 3, they stink. Knowing my luck, Kris Bryant will beat us with a grand slam or something. He is still a good player.

[HOZER]

It’s all in Gods hands brother. I’m hoping Ol’ Harry Carey bumps into him up there and tells him to give us a break, lol!

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Game time, I never thought I would say this but go Brewers later on when they play the Marlins.

[2006Coltsbestever]

We have a great UMP behind the plate today. He is a VET. I have seen him do games before and he is usually pretty spot on. After last night, the league probably thought it would be good idea to get someone in there that didn't have their head up their rear  . I would guess Ross called someone and complained about last night's nonsense. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Kris Bryant gets a standing ovation, now get an out MVP  .

[2006Coltsbestever]

1-0 Cubs, on the board first. On to the 2nd Inning. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Suzuki with a 2 run blast. 3-0 Cubs. We needed that!

[2006Coltsbestever]

To the 5th Inning, 3-0 Cubs. As of now this looks good. Still a ways to go though.

[HOZER]

Sitting here at the Purdue Football game watching them get crushed. This new coach has them unprepared once again. Terrific. 
 

Glad the Cubbies won at least !  Gotta keep winning!!!!GoCubsGo!!!

Stick a fork in the Reds season. They’re done. At least we won more than the 60 games originally predicted… still, it’s frustrating they were so close this year to making the playoffs. David Bell may be a good overall manager, but pitching was supposed to be his specialty, and since he’s taken over as skipper the pitching has been mediocre at the most crucial of times. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs back in the 6th spot and in the NL playoffs again after a 6-0 thumping of the Rockies. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I am nervous when the Cubs play - get mad, get happy, and I am score board watching to see what the Marlins and Reds are doing as well. Marlins and Reds both lost tonight. Pirates playing spoiler right now. Brewers did me a solid tonight by beating the Marlins.

 

Here are the standings heading into September 23rd for that final WC playoff spot:

 

Cubs 80-74

Marlins 79-75 (1)

Reds 79-76 (1.5)

-have to remember that the Cubs do not have the tiebreaker over either team. 8 games left folks.

It isn't over yet, you have the tiebreaker over us, I do know that and the Marlins are only a half game ahead of you.

People that don’t follow baseball do not get the excitement and stress of a playoff run. It is so satisfying when your team wins after watching a long gut wrenching game. I feel like the last 2 weeks have been playoff games. Seeing what other teams do too gets the adrenaline going. The actual playoffs itself is insane, with every pitch and game situations. It is just hard to explain to someone that doesn't follow baseball.

[2006Coltsbestever]

We are going to get to get the Stro Show today. He's back! Ross also said that Adbert will be activated. 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Stro Show gets them 1-2-3 in the 1st. Lets get some runs.

[2006Coltsbestever]

1-0 Cubs, Happ baby!

Bryant doubled and the Rockies had a couple of hits. They are up 3-1.

But bad pitch, bad call, bad luck, or just baseball that inning?

Nah, it was all legit. No bad calls. Stro hasn't looked that bad, they have had a couple of bloop singles. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

We got out of that. We need to get some runs here. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Good start. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Nothing.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Good easy inning for Assad. Still down 3-1. To the bottom of the 4th.

Yep, I am back home, saw since the 5th inning 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bases loaded and no outs, crowd getting loud!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bellinger is up, time for a BellyBomb

[2006Coltsbestever]

Close but we got a run home. 4-3 Cubs.

[2006Coltsbestever]

We need 6 more outs. 4-3 to the 8th.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Thank God! They had bases loaded and only 1 out and we got out of it. Still 4-3.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Insurance baby! HR by Morel.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs win, big win. Fly the Flag @HOZER. 7 games to go, Marlins are beating the Brewers 3-0 right now, so this win was real critical. No matter what happens, we will still be a game ahead of them at worse going into tomorrow.
