Against losing teams, Perez is 1-6 with a 6.31 ERA. Yeah, he's a fucking schizo. Mets have 3 bench players playing in starting roles for over a month now, only 250 ab's from church/alou combined, #25 ranked bullpen in MLB (19 blown saves), while the Phillies lead the NL in HR's and their closer is perfect in save opportunities. And yet putting all that into consideration, the Mets are only one game out of first place. If the Mets can come out of this weekend only 1 GB the Phillies, I'll sign for it. Probably won't happen though unless the Pirates win another game or Brian Stokes pitches a gem tonight (why niese isn't pitching is beyond me) btw- I realize the Marlins and Pirates have Hall of Fame pitching staffs but surely the overpowering Phillies lineup could've found a way to score a run in 23 straight innings in the hitter friendly confines of CBP. Nice job by Victorino getting doubled off first to end the game w/ the league leader in HR's on deck. lolol

Nope. That was the '96 Wild Card team. IMO, that team didn't have good enough pitching to win the W.S. either, but they might have made it if it weren't for Maier. They would've gone back to Baltimore with a 2-0 series lead. The '97 team actually had really good pitching and won the division over the Yankees. Also, I kind of agree with Yid that I don't really see any NL teams beating the Cubs in the playoffs, but I think any of the top three AL teams (Rays, Red Sox, Angels) should be favored over them.

Given that the Cubs losing to the Rays in the World Series is about the most painful way I can envision this season ending it's almost a guarantee at this point that's how it's going down. So maybe you guys are right and they will get out of the NL. We'll see...

IMHO, The Cubs would be favored over the Red Sox, evenly matched with the Rays, and over matched by the Angels.

Damn my nephew for offering me the ticket. It seems every time I go to a game I had not originally planned on going to, the Cubs seem to lose. I even left at the end of the 7th so I could catch the 6.30pm train home. My other option was to stay and watch the slaughter and not get home until 10pm. I went to four games this week, well, actually 3 and 1/2 since I left Monday's game after the first deluge. Today's loss dropped me down to 19-8 for the season. Next game will be Tuesday Aug 19 against the Reds. To get my season average up, I might be seeing the Cubs play the Nats in two of the three games in two weeks at Wrigley.

So option A happened and the Cardinals fans would run their mouths and taunt Cubs fans... nothing new there. And as for option B as much as it would hurt for that to happen, the pain would be blunted for me by the spectacle of an all-Chicago World Series.

Carlos Lee hit by a pitch and is likely out for the season, or at least 6-8 weeks. Our remaining 2 series' against the Astros just got a lot easier. Ryan Braun apparently left tonights game with lower back tightness. Hes expected to be just fine, but then again, so was Bernie Mac.

It's just such a great place to go to watch a ballgame and hangout. I believe this is the first time i've ever seen 3 triples in a game while in attendance. Two by Rollins and one by Werth. I'd like to thank the Mets for continuing to push our biggest threat further down in the standings. Heh. And yes i have more pics!

I disagree, mostly because of the homefield advantage factor. The Rays are a really, really good home team. On second thought, I think the Cubs are probably better than the Red Sox, but it's close.
