I remember going to a final game in the 2000s before getting over the hump of finally having a winning season. I was very annoyed that an usher kicked us out of a lower level section that we tried to sit in for a bit while making our way out since the whole section might have had 20 people in it in the later innings.
The atmosphere and the team are a bit different these days.
Expected around 96 or so it would be another waiting game for the franchise record and unlikely to get to 100.
Seems they didn't want to lose 60. An iconic regular season.
Why was Ortiz left in after he was hobbling a few innings ago? Why is Pratt in the game if he's unwell? If doesn't matter, throw Lockridge or even Naylor at third.
The bottom couple of spots on the postseason roster are going to be challenging. Stallings is the only one who deserves it, yet he'll probably be left off.
Gasser throwing the best ball of his career going into the postseason. Helped by Contreras appearing as though he's gotten some kind of cybernetic implant that gives him a perfect reading of the strike zone.
Cubs drop both games of the doubleheader. Now they travel to Tampa and it's looking like they'll be on the road in Atlanta or San Diego from there.
Division lead now at 13.
Only thing is it's San Diego winning the series in LA and up to 15 of their last 17. That's going to be a rough first opponent. Red hot, we struggle with them, and you know Machado will hit one out like he always does against us since our fans motivate him by continuing to boo him for an incident that happened eight years ago.
