Pitchers throwing a shutout helps make that math work

I don’t know either, and rooting for a specific opponent hasn’t worked too well for me in the past. But, if the D-backs lose both games to SD, Mets and Braves could go 2-2 in their last four and almost ensure a DH on Monday. Then, the D-backs are out, and a tired team comes to Milwaukee on Tuesday

What's the meme I've seen? "Name a more iconic duo. I'll wait"

Do we like Ross? Do we trust him?

Back in the days when I would pore over the sports page, I’d look at the daily standings. The day after the season ended, it would say “End of regular season” and it always made me sad.

Cubs beat Reds 1-0 in 1:48. Wind blowing in, two teams going nowhere, fast game.

It appears that KC has the tiebreaker over Detroit. I hope that KC can keep pace and get the five seed. Detroit is red-hot, and would LOVE to see them take Houston out.

End of this A’s game is nuts. Fans throwing smoke bombs and trash on the field

My apologies to this entire website.

Pitch number 2 called a ball. LOL.

Oh boy, O'Neil Cruz has had a bad day. He looks so disinterested.

Not if the players wanted to forfeit. I mean, teams not infrequently play 161 games due to rainouts not being made up at the end of the year.

Forfeits are allowed, I guess.

Errors aside, this has been an enjoyable game. A number of gappers that found the grass. Civale with a good five innings. See if he comes out for the sixth. Negative: "Hook and ladder, hook and ladder..." that FIrehouse Subs earworm is killing me.

Your "math" is a conspiracy I choose not to believe.

Dodgers go 0-5, Padres go 2-3, Brewers win out. Brewers 94-68 LA 93-69 SD 93-69 Not mathematically.

Hader with the 4-out save for the Astros last night.

Padres sweep Dodgers. Own the tiebreaker already over LA, 7-3 so far. They sneak into division title. Phillies go 1-3 the last four games. Brewers go 5-0 to finish the season. Padres, Brewers get the 1 and 2. Philly plays the Mets in WC round. LA gets the Dbacks. Make it happen.

Throw strikes, Joe Ross. come on.

Yikes, Sanchez has been poor tonight.

I don't understand your comment, either. Maybe it's me. eta: Never mind. I got it.

I truly believe that the Brewer defenders would have caught both of the RBI hits that the Pirate defenders couldn't get to.

Sal with some exit velocity! 1-0

Dillard: "The comeback win lit a fire under their bellies." What?
