NL Central: Brewers win, Cubs lose. Tied for 1st heading into Sunday.

Same.
Dodgers up 9-0 in the 3rd, Rockies up 4-0 in the 4th. On a collision course for a 163rd game.
Brewers still up 2-0 in the 3rd, Cubs still down 2-0 in the 3rd.

All four teams now winning: Dodgers 12-0 after 4, Rockies 7-0 in the 5th, Brewers 3-0 in the 5th, Cubs 4-2 after 3.

Nope. The Bregman pick was given because of the failed signing of Brady Aiken.
-

Bregman was compensation for not signing Aiken.
The Norris trade to Baltimore got us Hader, LJ Hoes, and a draft pick that became Derek Fisher.

Anyway, for those interested, the Cubs are hosting this game because they went 11-8 against the Brewers this season.

Questionable strategy.
The speedy Cain, already on third, would have had a much greater chance to score tagging on that fly out to LF than Braun had of stealing second. But he couldn't because Braun made the second out.

Add Kiké Hernandez to the list of exes in the playoffs. Kinda bloomed at the plate this year. After Zobrist and Doran, one of the better 6th round picks of the Astros at 7.0 WAR and still relatively young at 27.
A Bobby Heck pick. Lots of busts in the early rounds of that 2009 draft but still yielded Keuchel, JD Martinez and Hernandez.

While it didn't matter at the time, in years to come, no one will ever be able to call the Astros WS "cheap" the same way that they try to devalue the Rockets' championships (because no Jordan). The Astros went through the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers for a post-season trifuckyou. I'm sure in 100 years time that will still register as balls-out legit.

Per the story @BoogSciambi just told, the minor league manager Kiké Hernández fooled into thinking he didn’t know English was former Astros AAA manager Tony DeFrancesco when Kiké was in the Astros system.

No one with any credibility or a thimble full of sense suggests the Rockets' championships are somehow "cheap", even ignoring the fact that Jordan was in the league for the second one.

Regardless of how stupid it is, it's been said. It's also stupid because the Rockets were the one team that had shown it could handle Jordan's Bulls; it was the Sonics they couldn't beat.
Yes, any Championship stands on its own, but beating arguably the three most storied franchises in the sport for your first is the stuff o' legend, and unimpeachable.

The stakes for that game were amazing. You win, you get a couple days off and home-field advantage through the NLCS. You lose, you are in another one-game playoff and on the don't have home-field advantage at any point thereafter.

I'm rooting for the Rockies all the way. FTC, FTD, FTB, and FBS! I do think the Brewers have done a fantastic job with their acquisitions. They have a good team outside of the dick-faced motherfucker and the Selig shit-stain.

After all of the eggs that Lester laid for me in our fantasy league this year, I sure hope he lays another one tonight.

RF overruns a routine fly from Bryant putting runners on 1st/2nd with one out.
Then the Cubs do something called "grounding into an inning ending double play". Weird.
