Better hope for the latter considering Cole's 7-1 in 9 starts against the Cubs.

The Pirates are 3-1 against the Cubs this year when Cole starts.  He has 2.48 ERA against the Cubs in 25.1 IP.

The Cubs are 3-0 against the Pirates when Arrieta starts.  He has a 0.82 ERA aginst the Pirates in 22 IP.

Chances are it is going to be a low scoring game for both teams.

Those are two very interesting different perspectives.

If the Cubs win 2.48 to .82 I'll take it.

I'll take 1-0 or 20-19.  I'm not picky.

Don't look now but the Cardinal's rotation isn't doing so hot.  Wacha got lit up again today.  Martinez is down for the year.  Lynn has not been good for a while.  They are looking at Lackey, Garcia and Lynn in the playoffs.   While not terrible considering their problems on offense I'm glad they would be the Cubs opponent in the NLDS.

Cespedes was hit in the wrist with a pitch and pulled from the game.

The Cardinals have won the NL Central.

The only race left in the NL is the home field advantage in the wild card game.  The Cubs are 2.5 back.  If they win out and the Pirates go 1-2, the wild card game will be played at Wrigley.

1st year back in the play-offs and cub fans cant WAIT to play the cards in the play-offs... its a easy win....

October Cardinals have more voodoo then regular season carninals btw... Matt Carpenter will turn into barry bonds in roughly 85 min.

Cubs will be lucky to get past the Pirates let alone the Cardinals.

Not going to happen this season. But a good learning experience for the team going forward.

I dont know if we're the type of dominant, elite team that normally wins the World Series but other than the Cards Im not sure there is that type of team this year and St. Louis doesnt really scare me.

We may very well be one and out but if we do go on a magical run and win it all it wont be the most surprising thing Ive seen in sports.

Maybe just the most out of the blue.

Either way Im excited for the chance to see our Cubbies in October.

Evan Gattis with his 11th triple of the season tonight.

ELEVEN.

Gattis career steals?  Zero.

Triple tonight a product of RF falling on his face attempting to catch Gattis liner.

Would like to see compilation of all Gattis triples this season. Think maybe more pratfalls.

The Reds visit Pittsburgh for a three game series that starts on Friday.

Depending on the storm track, hurricane Joaquin could have an impact on the weather in Pittsburgh starting on Saturday and possibly lasting through Tuesday.
