They lost possibly the most important game of the season today. Anyone think that they even have the slightest chance to still win the Wild Card? I personally think the Astros will now take it.

sux for them

i wanted to see nomar play against the bosox in the series.

we have to keep hoping for the cubs. i want them to go to the post season and and onto the world series to beat the bosox. we deserve a cubbie/bosox world series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what do you mean, they are only a half game back!!!!!!!!!! go cubbiessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im a mets fan and seeing the cubs loose 2? to the mets thats just sad the mets are doing horrible and those two games shouldve been for sure wins for the cubbies yet another failure for them cubs

its not over til its over. i think the cubs will wait til the postseason to choke.

what happens if there's a 4 way tie for wildcard?

i remember there was a 2 way tie between cubs and giants a few years back...do they go off of head to head record? or they just played the 1 game tiebreak?

A couple of my friends went to the game today and coming from a Sox fan, I think the Cubs played a great game.

White Sox in 2005!

I'm crossing my fingers my Cardinals will go all the way. I have been hoping for a
Cards/Yankees series since the 64 series!
Yeah, I'm THAT old!

Giants will go in as the Wild Card and if they do, expect them in the World Series. Their pitching has rejuvenated out of nowhere and their offense is coming through and not relying on Bonds.

Shut up A-hole.

ha. just playin,
The cubs still have a chance but its gonna be a whole lot harder because ther are 2 other teams in contention also.
BTW, cubs had a tiebreaker game with San Fran when they tied for wild card.(Its a one-game outcome)

yeah, but we have a possibility for like a 3 way tie. then what?

so does anyone know, is it based on head to head meetings at all? or is it simply record based, and then a tiebreak game?

If there is a tie, say between the Dodgers, Giants, and Cubs. First tiebreaker would be between the Dodgers and Giants to see who would win the NL West Division. Then the winner would play the Cubs for the wildcard spot. And since the Giants won the coin toss, they would get home field advantage should the situation arise.

Another loss today, and another blown season. Sorry, Cubs fans.

why does our bullpen suck???????

why can't we score against cincy??

pfft. too bad.

being that I am from StL GO CUBBIES!

no way I want to face Houston in the NLCS

It's either the Giants or Astros going.

dude your guys' names are too similar, i get you confused
plus you both post about sports often


cubs aren't out yet...

I'm going to Saturday's Astros game. I'm pumped and ready for the Wildcard!! We got the Rockies, Cubs got the Braves, and Giants play the Dodgers. On paper it would look like we hae the easiest games, but we don't play the games on paper. GO 'STROS!!!

We planned it

I think we need to lose this one.

It'll teach them to play better, and that they can't just slip into the Playoffs.

Cubs will be officially out by tomorrow night

Ahh boo hoo... poor Cubbies

yeah, i don't know what went wrong. if last year just went to our heads, maybe they just expected to make it there, and this time not choke, but we forgot to get there first...or if it was the injuries....

on paper we have the best team in baseball....our 5th starter has 300 wins...we have how many guys with 30+ homeruns, 4?
man, i'm so depressed...i've been sulking around all day...
and just for the record, i've been a cub fan since i was about 6 or whenever i figured out what baseball was....
at least we'll be back out of the spotlight like usual, and all the bandwagon fans from last year will leave us alone...

man, why did the cubs have to play atlanta the last series of the season. weve clinched 2nd best record in the NL, and i have a warm spot for the cubbies too.. just cant pull against my team though.

2-2 game right now...

you're lucky though, you're team is in the playoffs automatically...

Cubs lose again.. 8-6. They're out, no chance for the Wild Card.
See you next year Cubbies.

They're out

todays a sad sad day...
i actually had high hopes for this year...

Astros clinch Wild Card....

Not to mention they were 10 1/2 games out one month ago

for the cubs, let it be said for the 96th year in a row, theres always next year.

GO ATLANTA

(I am from St Louis)

GOOOOO ATTTTTLLLLLLAAAAANNNNNNTTTTTTAAAAA

just let this thread die...i hate being reminded that we didn't make it this year
