"Hopefully we get to go in the pool," Keuchel said of closing out the season in Arizona.

and as we head towards the post-season, the Cubs helped out the Cardinals by beating the Pirates, and requested a little love on Twitter. It didn't quite get the reaction desired, a Cardinals' fan responding with one of the best burns of the 2015 season.

The Games in Diamondbacks Tweets
Diamondbacks 8, Dodgers 0
"Stephen do you want to go get a drink?" Well no but I can't be left alone in Dodgers stadium wearing all #Dbacks gear.
— Stephen Hicks (@StephenHicks23) September 23, 2015
#Dbacks get a run on a double and two groundouts. The sparse crowd hardly budges from its slumber.

Diamondbacks 1, Dodgers 4
awful job by #Dodgers fan watching Peralta go over the left-field wall and not helping to brace his fall or help him get up. #MLB #Dbacks

The Dbacks bullpen doesnt just need a rest; they need to hibernate.

@AZSnakepit Forget a closer addition, they need to find reliable arms that can get it to the closer.

The Brandon Drury experiment at short is going well. No one has hit a ball to him in three innings.

The Padres paid for depicting Ender Inciarte as Jabba the Hutt. His sixth-inning triple is the first hit off Robbie Erlin.

Arizona's two Venezuelans -- Ender and David -- are 4 for 4 with a walk and two homers today.

Chacin out, Chafin in. For those keeping score at home just change the middle letter from a 'c' to an 'f' and you'll be fine.
