Guest marlins02 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 i believe its a win and an Astros loss im so damn giddy thinking about it and my playoff ticks and a trip to the ballpark tommorow for the 1st time in 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 We win tonight, the Astros lose tomorrow, and the Dodgers lose tonight or tomorrow, and we'll clinch the Wild Card. Our magic number is 2 with all three teams as of this exact moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer_fran Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I kinda have mixed feelings the most important things is winning tomorrow, but I'm really hoping the Astros make it in the central instead of the Cubs, because the cubs are dangerous. I'll be happy if we win tomorrow and the astros win tomorrow. That would mean our magic number would be down to 1 going into the series against NY, and the Phillies would be eliminated.

Hugg Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I don't think the Cubs are any more dangerous than the Braves and Giants. Plus, if the Astros make it, who cares? They ALWAYS lose in the first round, we'd never see them, it'd just give the Braves an easier road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs make the playoffs they have a huge advantage because of their top 3, and pitching wins in the playoffs, that's why I hope they don't make it. I'd much rather face the braves in the NLCS, than the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Does home-field still revert to best-record in the NLCS, even if we're the Wild Card? Then playing the Cubs gives us home field and yes, they have a great top 3, but ours isn't too shabby. Basically, I guess my point is at this point, I'm not scared of anybody with this team, I don't think we need to dodge anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we've got the better record, we should have home-field and I'm not just saying that because it's us. :whistle Seriously though, doesn't make much sense to me. No one can justify to me why we shouldn't be the three seed, we have the better record in the better division. Rules are rules though, I guess.

Admin Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Division champs get seeded 1-3. There's arguments for it both ways but it does make sense I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marlins02 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 i guess they're just trying to give teams an incentive to winning the division instead of setteling for the Wildcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
