Brew Crew losing 4-2. \:D/

[otis89]

Go Astros!

 

I can't believe I just said that.

Sorry to burst your bubbles guys, but the Brewers just took a 5-4 lead. Bases loaded w/ nobody out, Weeks hits a single to right that somehow gets by Luke Scott. All three runners score.

They need real competition

Mets tie the game in the ninth.

It's 11-4 now. WTG Astros. Solid ball club.

:lol:

 

My best friend is a big Cub fan, and we always get into friendly arguments. Whenever the Brewers win he says the exact same thing.

[Sarcastic]

The Brewers don't lose. Will they ever face a real team again?

I think it's an indictment of the Astros pitching staff.

Wild card, here we come.

[Coach C]

7-2, KC over Angels in the top of the 6th.

 

Unfortunately for us Royals fans, the White Sox picked a heck of a time to play aganist Tampa Bay.

Barrett just threw out Dave Roberts trying to steal second to end the game in the bottom of the 10th, giving SD a win

We're 6 games out of wild card

That's true. They did move another 1/2 game closer to the WC last night. Also, if the Cubs can beat Colorado today, they will move past them 5th in the WC chase, and are only 2-3 games behind Atlanta and Philadelphia for 3rd and 4th.

Much more difficult to jump a bunch of teams in the Wild Card than it is to chase 1 team in the division.

Did I ever say anything to the contrary? The Brewers and Cubs both have an easy schedule coming up though after they face each other-this is just another option if the Cubs and Brewers both keep winning games. Believe me, I'm watching the division race really closely as well, but if the Brewers keep winning I certainly do not think the Cubs are out of the WC chase yet.

For the Cubs to win the wildcard, they would have no choice but to play very well for an extended time.

 

For the Cubs to win the division, they would be able to back into it by playing averagely if the rest of the division plays poorly.

 

Given the Cubs' play this year, the second scenario seems to be more likely.

I agree with all of this. All I'm doing is not dismissing the WC as an option. I know the division is the best chance, but plenty of people are tracking the division race, so I thought I would also track the WC race. It is certainly possible that it will take less wins to win the WC than it will the division. I also believe the Cubs have the capability of playing to the level of what the WC would need, and there have been so many changes in the team that I'm not sure what the team did earlier in the season applies as much anymore to what they will do in the future.
