Poppyrooster.  That's fake news.

Only if he said Atlanta did it.

Magic number is zero.  Bravos win the division.  Oh by the way, Atlanta hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001.  So Cubs and Cards should be a good one.

Is this the point where I say "Infield fly" and it makes your blood pressure go up, and you start to drive to the Lou to cut a bitch?

Jar, tell me where we're at.  The KC series hasn't gone too good so far and you end up with a series against the Brew Crew. Aren't you two neck and neck?  I can't cipher out who is in, could be in, won't be in....  Could the Brewers series be for a playoff spot or are you guys solid?

Jar's Cards and the Reds are tied at the moment and the Brewers are a game back.  

How many teams will get in from each league?  8?  The top 2 from each division and 2 at large?

If that's the case, the Central should get 3 teams in...assuming nobody goes on a tear to end the regular season.  Looks like the Giants and whomever ends up 3rd in the Central will be the at-large teams.

Cardinals (27-26, .509)
Yesterday’s result: Lost 12-3 vs. Royals
Where they stand: The Cardinals and Reds trail the Cubs by 3 1/2 games in the NL Central, with St. Louis currently holding the No. 5 seed in the NL. The Cards and Reds are one game ahead of the Brewers for the division's second guaranteed playoff spot. One thing to keep in mind: Because of the extensive postponements the Cardinals had in August due to COVID-19, they are currently scheduled for 58 games. If either of those two additional postponed games, both against Detroit, end up needing to be made up to settle home-field advantage or who is in or out, they would be played on Monday. They will not be made up if the only thing left to settle is seeding that has no impact on home-field.


Reds (29-28, .509)
Yesterday’s result: Won 6-1 vs. Brewers
Where they stand: The Reds are tied with the Cardinals for the NL Central's second guaranteed playoff spot, but the tiebreaker goes to St. Louis. Cincinnati currently occupies the eighth and final NL playoff spot, percentage points behind the No. 7 seed Giants.


Brewers (27-28, .491)
Yesterday’s result: Lost 6-1 vs. Reds
Where they stand: The Brewers are a game behind the Cardinals and Reds for the division’s second guaranteed playoff spot, and one game behind the Giants for the eighth and final NL postseason spot.

It's like I say it and an hour later you say it with like facts and stuff.

Yeah, but that’s the first I've seen of the 2 makeup games vs Detroit mentioned.

Cards magic number down to 4 after last night's win.

In the AL, everyone had clinched at least a spot, except Houston, who have a magic number of 1.  AL Central and West titles still on the line, so seeding could change.

Toronto Blue Jays (8) at Tampa Bay Rays (1)
Cleveland Indians (7) at Minnesota Twins (2)
Houston Astros (6) at Oakland Athletics (3)
New York Yankees (5) at Chicago White Sox (4)


In the NL
San Francisco Giants (8) at Los Angeles Dodgers (1)
Cincinnati Reds (7) at Atlanta Braves (2)
Miami Marlins (6) at Chicago Cubs (3)
St. Louis Cardinals (5) at San Diego Padres (4)


Marlins magic number for wildcard is 2, Reds also 3 for wildcard.  Braves, Dodgers, Padres, and Cubs have all clinched a playoff spot.

Huge double header today vs the Brewers for the Redbirds.

Good luck to your cheatin' Birds.  Let's get the Big 3 in and have some fun......until we bow out again in the first round.  Then the rest of you can bugger off. It's football season.

I'm not sure he even knows about the baseball forum on the X, if I can be honest.
