If this holds up, at the close of play today, the Astros will be only 3 games out of the Wild Card.
That seems so wrong.
It should be noted that if Milwaukee loses, the Phillies pick up a game in the standings as well.
Last year, or maybe two years ago, the Cubs had the same problem in a Miami series. All three games were cancelled, when it would have been relatively simple to switch to Chicago, since the Marlins were scheduled to go there the following week or so (and thus switch back to Miami then).
That seems so wrong.
I like it. And as I type, Roy Oswalt has just set the all time Astros record for consecutive shutout innings at 31-1/3. He surpasses J.R. Richard and Don Wilson.
No impact.
Because there's three of them, and the Cubs only have one off day between now and the end of the season, and that's Monday. If those games do not get played this weekend, they won't get played until after the season. That sets back the start of the playoffs, and let's be frank - it's not like we aren't already a hair's bredth away from having snow in the World Series at the rate things are going.
A.) Cause I want to see McClane lose the gate.
B.) I don't want a potential Cubs first round opponent to get extra days to set up their rotation because of this stupid ####.
Look you have a right to get your home games at your home, but it has to be within reason. When there's a ####### hurricane barreling down and it wipes out 4 days of possible games, then you suck it up and play in Atlanta or whereever. If they can get the 3 in on Sunday and Monday, then fine, it'll suck, but fine. But you cannot tack on 3 games to the end of the season like that. Beyond the fact that it sucks that the Cubs opponent gets to set their rotation, it sucks in that it'll push back the start of the playoffs and #### up the TV schedule(And we know the bewigged satan wouldn't dream of that)
Your keyboard to god's eyes.
If the Cubs get their heads out of their asses, those games won't mean anything and they can start scrubs like Jason Marquis and Kevin Hart and Randy Wells (was that the guy they just called up?).
Well, those games would mean something to the Astros, and there would be a lot of pressure on the Cubs to field the best team possible for the best interests of the game. I'm not saying Lou should do it, of course, but it seems like every year we hear all kinds of junk about teams that are out of it or have locked up a playoff spot "mailing it in" against teams that still have something to play for.
Again, I'm not saying that Lou should start Z, Harden, and Dempster in any makeup games at the end of the season, but you'll see a lot of media outlets saying that and Lou'll get a ton of questions about it.
There's also the notion that it may be in the Cubs' best interests to do everything they can to keep the Astros out of the playoffs with the way Houston is playing right now....
