Oh, how I would love to see Davey's smiling face in the Magic Number thread tonight...
Yes, Marmol is in to pitch the bottom of the 9th.
One out...
Marmol retires Winn, one done, Cubs still up 5-1.
Two more!
Marmol gets Pujols to ground out, two gone.
Cubs one out away as Pujols grounds out.
Get Davey ready for the magic number thread
Marmol dealing, Holliday Ks. Cards gone in the 9th, Cubs win 5-1.
Reds magic number now 13.
13.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
It would be interesting to see what the Cards record is against teams with losing records. They are getting beat regularly by the worst teams in the league.
Cubs win 5-1. Magic number 13.
Cubs won 5-1.
Even if the Reds go 6-12 the rest of the way the Cards have to go 14-7 to tie.
9-9 they have to go 17-4 to tie.
11-7 which is my prediction, 19-2 to tie.
