Re: the Official Baseball thread
It's looking good for Arizona to make the Wild Card game at the very least now. Colorado's kind of slipping, but nobody wants to catch them. I thought Miami was on the move, but Washington stopped them a bit.

I think I'm gonna spend the rest of the season watching Stanton mash
Re: the Official Baseball thread
I think Arizona's gained eight games on the Dodgers in the last ten now. I would be so amazed if they could pull off this comeback for the division. It's so improbable, though.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Speaking of the D-Backs, J.D. Martinez hit four homers tonight. In four consecutive at-bats. Off four different pitchers. Wow.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
By the way, Cleveland's won 21 in a row and looking for 22 tonight.
Re: the Official Baseball thread
22 did not come easy. I stayed up for that one. Drama in the 9th to tie it, then they won it in extras. Meanwhile, in news that will make Yelsey happy, the Cubs are going to put the Cards out of their misery this weekend.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
I sincerely hope so.
Also, Indians' streak finally came to an end tonight. I... think it was the Royals that ultimately ended the A's streak back in 2002, as well.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Getting your wish. Ever since that awful non-strike call that got Lackey and Contreras ejected, the Cubs have outscored the Cards 11-1. With the Rockies winning, too, that's putting the Cards on the brink.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
And the Cubs indeed sweep the Cardinals. They're not *mathematically* eliminated, but with the small number of remaining games, their odds of making either the division or the wild card seem very, very slim. Not that they haven't overcome odds like these before, mind, but yeah.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Cubs took six of seven from the Cards the last couple series to completely crush their playoff hopes. That was something else.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
Forgot to put in the last World Championship thing like I wanted to. Only four of the teams in this have won one since 2000.
Chicago (2016)
Boston (2013)
New York (2009)
Arizona (2001)
Minnesota (1991)
Los Angeles (1988)
Cleveland (1948)
Colorado (Never, lost only appearance in 2007)
Houston (Never, lost only appearance in 2005)
Washington (Never, have not won a playoff series in Washington and lost in the NLCS in 1981 as the Montreal Expos)

I have a feeling Cleveland will do what Golden State did last season and avenge its title loss

Re: the Official Baseball thread
D-backs/Red Sox would tie me in a mental knot, but that's a very unlikely matchup, so... I probably don't need to worry.
Just. Anyone but the Dodgers and Yankees, thanks.

Re: the Official Baseball thread
So three of the four series are at 2-0 for the favorite. Only the Cubs managed to get a road win here. Kind of surprised by that.
Re: the Official Baseball thread
Congratulations to those scrappy underdogs, the New York Yankees, for overcoming the seemingly insurmountable 2-0 series hole they found themselves in to take down the Believeland Indians. I can already see the messages of apathy from the Discord channel now with LA and NY in their respective League Championship Series with the potential of Washington joining them tonight.
Go Cubs go.
