It is really hard to speculate how any of those teams not fighting for a playoff spot (or perhaps, positioning w/i the playoffs) will get up for the last few games. There may not be much difference, if any, between fish/nats/cards/dbacks/dodgers/cubs all having absolutely nothing to play for. throw in cincy who is locked in at a 2/3 seed too.

We were:

4-2 vs San Diego
2-4 vs Colorado
4-3 vs San Francisco

Based on my (very) rough calculations, we have about a the following chances of relevant ties:

SD: 4.3%
Col: 2.9%
SF: 3.1%

Total: 10.3%

These are my rough estimates of the chances that:

-We end up tied with one and only one opponent
-The team we tie did not win their division
-There is no other team in front of us in the WC

Cincy has a number of odd incentives.

Assuming that they are trying to minimize the chances of playing the Phillies without HFA, it would seem they want either: (1) to end up in second place overall (2) for the Braves not to win the WC. (2) would seem to imply they wouldn't want to tear apart the Padres.

But then again, the only way they can be a lock to avoid the Phils is to be second in win%.

I would guess they will be up for it in light of all that.

****ing christ why would you ever throw him a slider..a fastball is so much tougher to get a bunt down on

especially on 0-2 at least try a couple high fastballs first
