Not particularly encouraging matchups for our interests... but go Reds, Marlins, D'backs, Phils and Mutts!

Vargas stinks. The D'Backs better pound the snot out of him.

[A New Era]

I'm at the point I'm not even caring about Milwaukee. Give them a couple of weeks without Sheets. They'll start a little losing streak soon enough. Plus our position in the wild card is very good. My focus is hoping this team can get to 10 games above .500. That would be a nice goal for the near future.

Every time the Cubs win, they essentially gain a 1/2 game on the league. Every time the Cubs lose, they essentially lose a 1/2 game on the league.

 

As long as the Cubs keep winning, they'll gain ground in the league.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Snakes lead 2-0

[otis89]

Brew Crew tied it up at 2.

[inari]

Brewers take the lead. Ouch.

[jjgman21]

Davanon's arm makes Pierre's look like a cannon.

[BCVM22]

Brewers win; 4.5 up on us now.

[TruffleShuffle]

what's the brewers record in one-run games, 35-2?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

16-11

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, at least the Mets are beating Peavy 3-0 so far.

[TruffleShuffle]

16-11

 

all i know is that the brewers have 53 wins and francisco cordero has about 52 saves

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Mets lead the Padres 7-0. At least we won't lose ground in the WC hunt.

There will be time for the Cubs to gain ground (like when the Brewers play on the road).

Or whenever they're playing Arizona and we're playing San Francisco.
