NL Central: Brewers win, Cubs lose. Tied for 1st heading into Sunday. NL West: Dodgers win, Rockies lose. Tied for 1st heading into Sunday. Sunday should be fun. I’m rooting for the same outcome for all four teams tomorrow.
Dodgers and Rockies both leading 2-0. Cubs down 1-0. Brewers up 2-0.
I'm rooting for all to win or all to lose.
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.It’s happening?!?
Dodgers won, and all the other teams' leads have grown. The outs are dwindling. It's happening.
Ryan Braun drives in another! 3-1 Brewers.
Then gets thrown out at 2nd for the 2nd out.Questionable strategy.
He was only out by a few feet! Cut him some slack.
Hader 3 up 3 down
Another former Astro in the playoffs.
Someone here said that one by product of the Hader trade turned into the Bregman draft pick.Is that right?
Fuck the Cubs!
Rizzo flies out.Brewers win 3-1.6 out save for Hader.FTC.
High drama in that AB. FTC.
I'm sure it's been said, but how'd they determine home teams in these two games? Head to head?
Anyway, for those interested, the Cubs are hosting this game because they went 11-8 against the Brewers this season.
No score at LA in the top of the 4th.
I didn't watch any of the Astros/Dodgers games this year. I haven't watch the Dodgers since the World Series. I've forgotten how much I hate the Dodgers.
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.
FTD.That's not quite fair to their fans, whom I also hate. FTDF.
A Bobby Heck pick. Lots of busts in the early rounds of that 2009 draft but still yielded Keuchel, JD Martinez and Hernandez.
I never thought much of Mier but I was always surprised that Jonathan Meyer didn't amount to more than he did.
Robert Ford @raford3 2 hours agoPer 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.Pedro Moura @pedromoura 7m ago“We have zero problem with Walker being the cocky motherfucker that he is,” Kiké Hernández said.
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.
Yes Sir. You play whoever shows up, when you have beaten them all, you're the champions. End of discussion.
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.
I hate the paring of Matt Vajcursing and AWad.
Defense matters.eta: Heh. Drop a fly ball in the OF, no worries, just turn a great DP on the next pitch.Rock Rockies Rock.
Butera's a fucking butcher back there.
Is there a single Astros fan in the history of ever that wants the Cubs to win here?Sweet K.

Just tuned in. Why did they pull Freeland? Matchups? Looks like he was cruising.
They said he was starting on short rest tonight, so I imagine that Black didn't want to push him too far.
Also: just tune it to ESPN2. It isn't close.
Those guys who slide with the front foot in the air are dumb.
He was in the area of the bag in time, but it was really hard to tell if he actually had his foot down or not. I guess they thought he didn't.
That strikeout to Story with a runner on 3rd and 1 out in the 1st is huge.
Why doesn't he just turn it all the way sideways like Stick with Mick?
Everything about the cubs is so annoying.
Especially the pending walkoff. We all know it's gonna happen.
He just bat flipped a walk.
There's the super excited walk again.
I'm terrified to think what he would have done with a walk-off HR.
Lead off walk.. shit.
Are those bad?
Say this for the Rockies: they don't make you wait long for the anticlimax.
So they’re high school boys?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Arenado wanted a love fest instead of trying to make a play.
Statcast broadcast just referred to “Kings of soft contact” and I now know my new fantasy league team name. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
2nd baseman is a ball hog.
Awesome 3-2 pitch
Review it. No way it hit him.
Fuck Contreras especially for celebrating walks like they're game winning home runs.
What an utterly humiliating end to the season.
Don't worry, ESPN has Mark Fuckface Texeria here to tell me how great a team the Cubs were.Jesus Christ, SHUT THE FUCK UP.This was not great baseball. This was two teams that struggle against good pitching... struggling against good pitching.
Heard an interesting rumor out of Chicago. I heard to not be surprised if Joe Maddon steps down and Joe Girardi becomes the FTC skipper.
Interesting. I wondered how The Genius would be treated after this underperforming team cratered at the end. Losing TWO crucial games in the Friendly Confines to achieve elimination cannot sit well with upper management. They are losers for sure but certainly are not lovable.
Lost 3 out of their last 4 at home to end their season, scoring a grand total of 3 runs in the losses. After having been in first place since July 13th. Homer said it’s impious to exult over the slain. Unless it’s the Cubs or the Rangers. Fuck em.

Anybody know if SlingTV carries MLB Network?
And he also said "Homer no function beer well without." And that may explain his silly ideas.
All work and no play make Homer something something.
Go crazy?
