1. Walt Davis Posted: September 07, 2021 at 07:48 AM (#6038546)This year was pretty full -- 14 games on Mem Day, 16 on the 4th (Mets-Yanks DH) ... but now just 12 on Labor day. 2020 obviously doesn't count. In 2019 there were 14 on Mem Day again but only 12 on the 4th. In 2019, the Cubs played on the 4th (a Thurs) but not on the 5th (a Fri, really weird ... just 13 games). Then just 12 on Labour Day 2019.

finally the Marlins realize he doesn't have his "A" game lol, and he is removed
Probably the second HBP that tipped them off
70 pitches, 2 out in 4th.
+ trailing 3-1, just gave up a sac fly. Cole signaled to the bench.
Pesky actual score.

At least we have Ted Simmons and Larry walker going in tomorrow. I grew up watching Simmons pull line drives down the line in LF and RF which was the only way to consistently hit balls out of old Busch. He was brilliant at that. One of my favorite players ever. Every time I see a highlight reel of him hitting with his distinctive swing I get transported back to childhood. He might not have been Johnny bench but he was pretty darned close.
I remember being 10 years old and waiting in line at Crestwood Mall to get his autograph. (I only have three autographs in my collection, Ted Simmons, Stan Musial and Keith Hernandez... also Billie Dee Williams and Morena Baccarin and Stan Lee... but Williams is for my buddy, and all three don't relate to the story of baseball autographs)
I was supposed to have tomorrow off, and was looking forward to watching the ceremony, but I work retail and unload trucks and the truck driver forgot to show up today, so tomorrow I have to work now, but it's 3am to 11:30 so I should still be able to watch most of the ceremony. (have to be up in 4 hours...yea great sleep)
Glad to see we agree. The "actual" score should only count when the Cubs lead. If not, we should keep working our way down until we find some vaguely meaningful category the Cubs have outperformed their opponents in that game. When you do this, it's easy to see the Cubs are nearly a 500 team this year and in the hunt for the 8th playoff spot. Oh, did I forget to mention we add/reduce playoff spots depending on whether that helps the Cubs' postseason chances?
Not impossible at all. He has 101 hits in 111 games, just a little bit of any improvement and he's there.
Next guy singles in two. An 8-run 2nd inning for the Padres. Four walks and a HBP in the inning, all five of those runners scored. I think I can stop watching this.
I can see the newest target for the Cardinals pitching staff. (In case you forgot, the Cardinals were on pace at one point in time for most bases loaded walks in a season... I think they probably set the record)
Muncy with a weak ass homerun against Waino..
Let's see how Shildt screws this easy decision up.... (note if the Cardinals score a run in the bottom of the 8th inning, then you let him pitch until tying run comes up to bat.)
1-1, runner on 3rd and one out, bottom 10
rookies Sanchez, de la Cruz, and LDiaz up next
booth notes that the right approach is go after Sanchez, walk hot-hitting de la Cruz, then go after LDiaz.
Sanchez whiffs, 2 out
de la Cruz, predictably, hits one to the wall and the Mets' season is thatmuchcloser to being over.
it's like watching a horror movie where the SWAT team crisis expert is explaining the proper survival strategy - but the people on the screen can't hear it.
carnage ensues.
BTW, who had Ohtani and Salvy as finishing 1-2 in the homer standings this year?
ATL 73-65 --- (L)
PHI 71-68 2.5 (L)
NY.. 70-70 4 (L)
ignoring LA/SF, the other NL WILD CARD goes to one of:
SDP 74-65 --- (W) (unless they blow an 8-3 lead in the 7th)
CIN 74-66 0.5 (L)
PHI 71-68 3 (L)
STL 70-68 3.5 (W)

Since about May, the Cardinals were on pace to shatter the record (with like 120+), and as recently as a month ago were on pace to break it this week. Since then---having revamped their staff over the past several weeks---they've hardly hit anybody, and are now on pace to just squeak past the old mark, with 96.
But lo and behold, the Cubs have now passed the Cardinals for HBP, and are on pace to finish with 99. Given the recent trends, I would wager the Cardinals will fall short of the record (they currently have 82 through 138 games), whereas the Cubs still have a decent shot to become the first MLB team to hit 100 batters in a season.
they have yet to be swept in any of them.
the Amazins swept two of the first four, then had seven straight splits, another sweep, and a split.
they have one more scheduled, and perhaps Mother Nature will have one more in store...
(in unrelated news, the Mets are 70-70 overall)
The Cardinals played 11 doubleheaders last year---in just 60 games.
1. Turner -scherzer trade Is a big win. If the Dodgers end up in a one game playoff they can likely throw scherzer and still have plenty of arms for the series that follows. Turner is a dynamo for them as well.
2. Cody bellinger sucks. Really bad. Why are the Dodgers playing him - to the extent they lose any games, a lot of they can be laid at his doorstep. Automatic out. They need to find a different warm body. He swung at a ball today that only went about 55 ft in the air. It was embarrassing.
3. Pujols is a dangerous batter against lefties. But the Pujols/muncy first base platoon is not good defensively
4. Lots of good pitching in LA
Overall my impression is that it’s a team with a lot of great parts that don’t completely mesh well. Still, it’s a deep, deep team
all three Leasters blew late leads but only the Braves rallied to win anyway
ATL 74-65 ---
PHI 71-69 3.5 (L)
NY.. 70-71 5 (L)
ignoring LA/SF, the other NL WILD CARD goes to one of, thru Thurs:

HUNGER GAMES: Mets vs Yankees, 9-11 weekend. two teams enter....
sorry, I was mesmerized by an MLB Network special on the first NYC sporting event post 9-11, which was Mets vs Braves at Shea Stadium 10 days later.
The Braves starter that night was Jason Marquis from Staten Island - and along with Mark DeRosa (Meadowlands NJ) and Al Leiter (Jersey Shore), they all grew up a bit in the shadows of the big city. John Franco is from Brooklyn and Steve Karsay - yes, a key player in this saga - is from Flushing, Queens.
all of them appear in this MLB Network special, and explain how and why this game was so particularly personal to them.
they all do a fine job of describing the mixed emotions they had of that game even being played - and how it changed once the game was over. with plenty of game highlights, and the most cathartic stadium roar I have ever heard.
worth looking for as an inevitable rerun on the channel all weekend. and if it's age-appropriate for your offspring, if they start to get immersed - I'd like to think they're going anywhere until they see how it all turns out.....
Lots of 9-11 stuff on this week, 20th anniversary.
"Remembering the Game for New York" is the title.
