Massive Tie Scenario

The Cardinals didn't help the Massive Tie Scenario as they lost to the Pirates 10-2. Nate McLouth missed the cycle by a single, a tough way to fall short on the feat. Nyjer Morgan and Luis Cruz did a good job setting the table for Nate as he drove in half the Pirates runs. The loss reduces the most wins for a five way tie to 93.

Again, with only Philadelphia and Milwaukee playing head to head, there's plenty of room for variation here. The closer to .500 the Mets and Brewers play, the more the odds of a massive tie improve.

For today, here's what I'd like to see happen:

  • St. Louis defeats Pittsburgh
  • Philadelphia defeats Milwaukee
  • Atlanta takes at least one from the Mets

The Cubs stayed in Texas, so with Ike still raging, there's no chance of playing the series at a neutral site. Sunday is not looking good for a makeup either, so it's possible all three game may be played after the scheduled end of the regular season.

Oops...I think you mean the Astros stayed in Texas.

Probably at Miller Park.
