i Didn’t get to watch the game but wasn’t surprised by the L. Sounds like they piled on 6th and we just dug ourselves too big a hole. Bummer but not the end of the world. I just hope the cubs don’t play spoiler for us.

That 6th inning was a gift to Arizona. Edman started with an error, then a walk and then for some reason, Martinez was still in the game playing defense botched a ball that turned into a double.

If we win 2 against the Cubs and the Brewers win the next 4 to tie up the division, you just have to tip your cap. That would make them 22-2 to finish out the season.

But maybe we can sweep the Cubs again. I have no idea what to expect out of them. Obviously their season is over so maybe they just want to get it over with. But I have a feeling they will want some revenge.

The run that the Brewers are on is just insane. Hopefully it ends soon...

Looks like we are going to see at least Red (#2) and hopefully Ozzie (#1)

PS, any other #2s and #1s are welcome, though Cubs are fighting.

Cole hammers and Yadi getting after it. I’m surprised that erupted so quickly. What happened? It looks like some old wounds or something. Yadi didn’t look happy immediately after the pitch that came in.

Thank goodness for the Rockies. We sure look like a team that wants to back in.

Flaherty set to start tomorrow's season finale vs. the Cubs. If they win the division, then Flaherty would start Game 2 of the NLDS with Mikolas the Game 1 starter. If there's a game 163, then Mikolas would start that game.

Derek Holland set to start for the Cubs tomorrow.

Final: 9-0 Cardinals. Ended the season with an exclamation point. NL Central champs at long last!

Anyone expect this after May?

No way. Remember when everyone was throwing Mozeliak under the bus for not making any moves at the trade deadline? What a turnaround.

Let's do this thing. Schildt has a couple playoff roster spots to decide on. I hope Arozarena can make the roster, but I doubt it. He would be a nice spark plug off the bench though. Hopefully Wong is good to go. It would be a big upgrade to be able to move Edman back to 3rd and have a big bat like Carpenter pinch hitting. Although, I will say Carpenter looked better in September so I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a big October. Hopefully Wacha is good to go. He could be a big piece out of the pen. The type of guy that could come in and go 3+ innings if the starter needs to be pulled early.
