Saint Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs

CHC (98-55) look to get their 99th regular season win for the first time since 1935 Cubs (100-54), who went on to lose the Eries to the Tigers. Hammel (15-9, 3.56 ERA) to open for Chicago.

STL (80-73) are half a game back from a wild card slot, and hoping to secure a spot in the postseason. They're also hoping to prevent a sweep at Wrigley, which would result in the Cubs getting their 100th win against the Cards. Reyes (3-1, 1.03 ERA) to open for St. Louis.

If Chicago sweeps St. Louis this weekend, it'll be their first time reaching 100 wins in September since 1907, and their first time reaching 100 wins in a home game since 1909.

Just put us out of our misery desu senpai

Hopefully then, we'll fire our idiot manager.

This will also mark the first time doing any of these things since they moved to Wrigley in 1916.

What the fuck is this picture

a lil early senpai, game isn't for another 2 hours

America.

>If Chicago sweeps St. Louis this weekend, it'll be their first time reaching 100 wins in September since 1907, and their first time reaching 100 wins in a home game since 1909.
And if they don't sweep STL this weekend, they won't reach 100 wins at home this season.

They'll probably still reach 100 wins before September ends though.

Not a bad recovery.

plenty of time for second half Hammel to continue his suckage

Oh son of a bitch.

Dexter is the gift that just keeps on giving.

why does jason heyward still have a lineup spot? anyone?

le fat contract man

i hope he chokes in the postseason

but his defense is superb

Naperville is comfy as fuck

same reason Hammel keeps a spot in the rotation after August 1st

Who /meth/ here

Cubs far too inconsistent to win the World Series. They are too streaky. Expect them to lose the NLCS again.

Nah, cards just have their number at Wrigley

6-3 on the year

...

As do Brewers. A truly great team can't have bogey opponents.

>this butthurt

/cycle/ watch

>mac & cheese

for what purpose

The south has the most blacks, that's why

the ottoman empire was still around the last time the cubs won a world series

southern mac and cheese is fucking delicious

Rams win the superbowl
ie they throw in a whole stick of butter

get fucked shitcago fan

rams don't even exist and will win a super bowl sooner than the bears

Oh. I moved out of Illinois years ago.

awful throw

reminder cardinals hitting coach is the best in the league

>CUSB

all the cusb fans nowhere to be found

embarrassing

Well, so much for breaking 100 at home. Would've been a huge windfall to the local economy. Instead it's going to happen on the road and benefit Pittsburgh or Cincinnati.

it won't happen at all family :)

how does it benefit Pitt or Cinc?

he thinks there's actually cubs fans in those areas

Things that were still around the last time the Cubs won a World Series:
> Qing China
> the Eiffel Tower being the tallest building in the world
> the Congo Free State
> Chagatai Turkic as a first language
> Deutsch-Neuguinea

Things that didn't exist yet:
> Arizona
