What a game last night! Wow, see saw action and then finally in the bottom of the 12th, the home team wins. And I guess Miggy Cabrera made some of it up with his 2 run shot.

Why should any get left out?Originally posted by Flatlander Fox View Post
And that's exactly what the sabermetric revolution was designed to combat.It's not just about the stats. It's about the perception of how good they actually were.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

That was a really, really fun baseball game. 12 innings of high drama. Questionable managerial moves, umpire calls (or non-calls), good defense, bad defense, good baserunning, bad baserunning, pitching into and out of jams...
Game 1 in NY tonight. I will, unfortunately, miss most of it. Let's go Yankees!

I saw that live and was stunned he didn't get to that ball. Off the bat, I thought it was a DP grounder, but it got through. Somehow. I'm not really sure what happened there.Originally posted by -Jrabbit View Post

Well according to the stats put up on ESPN there are only 5 teams to have been up 7 in September and still lose the division. Tigers and Mets recently, and then Pirates and NY Giants (twice) 50+ years ago. So I suppose the Cubs don't quite measure up.Originally posted by rah View PostCaptain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Based on that criteria yeah, but that's not my definition.
You go to other sites that don't cherry pick it that way, and it's different.
The chubs were up 9 1/2 game in mid august. Then didn't miss by one game, the finished 8 behind.
And of course living in Chicago and having to listen to NY fans remind us continually about this does bias our thinking a touch on this subject
I was 15 at the time, and was sufficiently tramatized.

On the radio description, the announcers said, in essence: "Should have been an easy DP. Polanco was so focused on getting to the bag for the force, he just took his eye off the ball and it went through."Originally posted by Arrian View PostApolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I heard that too somewhere but I can't remember where exactly.
But If I remember where I am when I wake up, it's a good day.

Unbelievable... A great season is basically over because the Cards can't hit lefties and Matt Holliday can't catch...Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks...Comment

Holy ****, I couldn't believe Holliday dropped that ball. That was the final out of the game, would have sent it to StL tied 1-1, but he drops it, the Dodgers come back and basically series over.
Wasn't even a hard catch at all to make!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
