Tragic number is still 1 (with the Cubs and Marlins).

It's actually pretty impressive that without Joe and Yu they're still alive on 9/26. If I had been forced to bet money I'd have wagered they'd have been eliminated weeks ago.

I think the Marlins are going to win the final WC slot with 84 or 85 wins. FWIW, we would still be alive if we had won those two games that we lost, in the same position as the Reds. I really wish that we had either sold Snell and Hader at the deadline for pitching prospects, OR actually made better trade deadline deals to get a legit starter, not Rich Hill. In either scenario we would be better off. At least we do get to see a Padre Cy-Young winner, which is pretty cool. I think Snell should get it, but do you think it's possible Strider could get it based on his performance, and the fact that he pitches for the Atlanta Braves? Can't fathom Strider getting it regardless of how well Atlanta's played. NL Wins Strider 1st w/ 19 (a number of those Ws were because Atlanta is the best hitting team in MLB) 26% more WinsSnell tied for 5th w/ 14 Ks Strider 1st with 274 15% more KsSnell 2nd w/ 234 ERA Snell 1st w/ 2.25 70% better ERAStrider 13th w/ 3.81 WAR Snell 1st with 6.1 46% better WARStrider 13th w/ 3.3 Strider has also been terrible pitching the last month: 5.72 ERA and STILL won 4 games. If he were to win it, the Cy Young would be a joke!

If he were to win it, the Cy Young would be a joke! Yeah, I hear ya. I just hope they don't use the 'ol, "He's pitching on a playoff team" excuse for one of the reasons for getting it. Snell deserves it, and I expect that he'll get it.

Marlins lead 2-1, top of 9. In a rain delay? Really?
Cubs losing 5-3, bottom of 8.

Cubs lose. Marlins winning 2-1, but the game may be suspended with 2 out in the top of the 9th. The Marlins MIGHT have to go back to NYC on Monday to finish the game, as the rain is supposed to continue--heavily--into tomorrow night. The Marlins are in Pittsburgh tomorrow, and through the weekend.
Just make it stop already...

They better, as the Mets already screwed them over once in this series. The radar doesn't look very promising though.

Rain delay continues in NYC.
Padres still have the smallest of chances.
Delay has now been at least 2 hours.

Tarp off the field...but they apparently suspended the game.

That's a bad utilization of resources and not entirely realistic.

I'm almost surprised they didn't just try to finish the game, as it rained quite a bit harder after the rain delay started. If the Marlins do have to complete the game, at least they won't have to travel (Pittsburgh to NYC).

IF AJ is relieved of any duties, I would think it would be ALL duties. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the post season meeting that has Preller, Melvin, and Seidler's reps in it.

Preller’s body of work when it comes to building interpersonal relationships is poor. If there’s a cancer in the organization, he’s it. If he is not the cancer, then he’s certainly one of the cancer causing agents…either way, he must be excised.
