Cubs lost to D-Back! 6.5 game out of first place!

傍晚check一下Cubs and D-Backs的比賽,正好九局上半,Cubs 4, D-Backs 5! Cubs 1,2 壘有人, 無人出局,心理捏了一把冷汗,還好後來一個雙殺化解危機,最後D-Backs守住!

終於,現在與Cubs僅剩6.5場的勝差了,Reds幾乎快要回到Contention了!

Cincy的運動部落格第一把交椅Lance MaAlister的部落格也貼出一些統計數字,雖說明天Bengals要進行第三場的季前賽,但是我相信Reds' talk將會佔一大部分, Baseball is back to Cincy!

Lacne部落格上的一些統計數字,(http://www.1530homer.com/pages/lancesBlog.html)

What would it take?
Let's just work on a Reds/Cubs scenario....

If the Reds go 25-7 (.781) in their remaining 32 games...they would finish84-78.
In order for the Reds to win the division, the Cubs would have to finish 17-17 in their final 34 games.

If the Reds go 22-10 (.687) in their remaining 32 games, they would finish 81-81. In order for the Reds to win the division the Cubs would have to finish 14-20 in their final 34 games.

And down the stretch they come
