A play you don’t see very often almost ended the Cubs game and got Schildt ejected.

 

It involved an infield fly rule pop up.

 

I'm trying to figure this out on gameday, what happened?

 

1st and 2nd one out. Batter hits pop up and infield fly rule called.

 

Arenado falls down. Ball lands fair.

 

Cubs runners not understanding infield fly rule take off. Arenado throws to third but fielder doesn’t realize there’s no force and just steps on bag and throws to second where fielder does same thing. So, runners are safe at second and third, but runner on second thinks he’s out and steps off and is tagged.

 

Umps rule time was called so runner couldn’t be tagged out. So, play continues with runners on second and third and two out. Wild.

 

Happ strikes out to end game.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

Can't say the Cards didn't make the Crew earn it! Nice to be able to close it out in the final home game and let these last six games be a tune up. Now the Cards have to face the two-headed NL West monster to advance beyond the NLDS while Milwaukee get the NL LEast winner in the first round!

This is amazing and indicative of the luck involved in this improbable St Louis run. Time to end it.

Pretty awesome to see the Brewers clinch a division title at home.

 

With a whole week left of games.

 

And while the team chasing you has won 16 straight, including 4 against them head to head.

 

Congrats STL, your crazy winning streak has earned little more than an exhausted bullpen and a trip to face the dodgers or giants in a wild card game, then a short series against the other team. Good luck with that!

One of the best parts is this is an afternoon game and with the day off tomorrow they can enjoy it for a good long while.
Remember what Yoda said:

 

"Cubs lead to Cardinals. Cardinals lead to dislike. Dislike leads to hate. Hate leads to constipation."

I haven’t been blessed with many historical moments in person in my short while following the Brewers, but this is up there there. Probably behind Woodruffs NLCS homer. What a moment, what team. Really hope this isn’t the climax.

 

What a year, keep it going.

Braves are going to a tough out. They have bats the Brewers do not. It is going to have to be earned for sure.

Copying this from the thread from Game 4 of the Cardinal series. For posterity

 

Sweep the Mets this weekend, and those games against the Cardinals next week don't matter in the least, regardless of what the Cardinals do against the Cubs.

 

Yeah and maybe Santa Claus will come down your chimminy on Monday. :laughing

 

Looks like Christmas came early, Tiny Tim!
