Home field advantage

[Heyward]

Cards are 3-3 vs the Cubs in the second half, what makes you think a 4 game sweep is so certain?

One, it's a three game set, two the Cards have been on fire lately.

I hope I'm wrong though.

I'll wager a ban for the whole playoffs with you that the Cards dont sweep the Cubs.

Not that confident about it.

Am I dreaming or do I get an ounce of positivity out of you.

I meant anything could happen.

From two wins by us, one loss by them, then Sunday is meaningless and they could rest everyone.

I stand by it they will sweep though.

Dodgers just lost. We just clinched home field in the nlds.

Which is key. Now hope the Cubbies win tomorrow and we can basically seal up home field.

I knew it was too good to be true. Have you atleast given up on the Nats winning the division yet?

Will you eat crow if Stl sweeps?

If St. Louis sweeps, I'm suspending Heyward until the NLDS begins, just for saying they probably would, but unsure they would and not confident they would.

Ban me until the DS if we get HFA.

I'll ban you until the NLCS if we get HFA, considering that's when it would actually matter.

I still think (more sure after tonight) that we take 2 of 3 from the Phils and Stl taking 2 of 3 from the Cubs. I think our loss comes tonight vs Lee.

Definitely the toughest game.

Let's hope Meds keeps dealing but he seems to struggle vs Philly for whatever reason.

Just looked at the Cubs/Stl pitching match-ups. They aren't that bad.

Friday:
Wood vs Lynn

Saturday:
Jackson vs Kelly

Sunday:
Samardzja vs Wainwright

Not awful. Interesting that Wainwright is pitching on Sunday considering he wouldn't be able to start Game 1 of the LDS. However, if we clinch HFA prior to Sunday I bet they don't throw Wainwright.

The Cubs will take at least one of these games vs Stl. We just need to take care of business as well. If we could beat Lee tomorrow night I think we get HFA.

I see the Cards probably taking 2 out of 3 if not sweeping. They're playing really good baseball right now while we've struggled this month. With that said, it's not a foregone conclusion and I agree that the pitching sets up where the Cubs could win a game or two.

[Enscheff]

I thin kI read somewhere the Braves get 3 days off before the NLDS. True? If so, that verges on rust inducing time off.

I'm just worried it gives more time for Uggla and BJ to vouch for playing time from Fredi.

Yes.

[tululush]

I still say the Cubs take one of the games. While possible, a sweep isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Yes.
