[Cubzfan64]

Told you I had "one of those feelings" - I get em every now and then and more often than not they end up right.

 

Time to head to bed for a good nights sleep thankfully

[St.Paul Cub]

Now i can go to sleep in peace

 

AMEN!

Good thing the Brewers best pitcher didn't pitch. I mean, its going to be awesome seeing a fresh Cordero pitching the 8th tomorrow night when the Crew is down 9-1.

 

Ned Yost, LOL

[chuckywang]

Cardinals just beat the Phillies 2-1 on a walk-off hit by Molina.

 

gotta love the Cardinals tanking, but I really wish it wasn't this soon. they'll have nothing to play for by the time the Brewers play them, and it would be just like LaRussa to "rest" the better players as one last 'screw you' to the Cubs and their fans before going back to the AL.

 

I think the Cubs had something to do with the Cardinals tanking. :D :D :D

[ChiCubsFan]

Prediction: Atlanta takes 3 out of 4 from the Brewers

[weatherdood]

Guaranteed to be in sole possession of first through tomorrow night...Go Braves tomorrow!

[E.J.]

brewerfan.net in full Yost-lynching mode. I almost feel bad for them. And when I say almost, I mean not at all.

You can feel bad for them after we clinch :)

On top of the Brewer loss, it was nice to see a call go the Cubs way (even if it was the wrong call) to lead to a victory for them tonight too.

The call had nothing to do with the victory, Theriot "tagged up" on the single anyways.

[TMan92]

It did not take long for Brewer fans on their forum to say we caught breaks tonight. Coming from a team that has faced A-ballers the last three days and tied the game with a two run homer in the ninth. Whiners.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's great being back in first.

Run would have scored either way.

The Cubs are playing a team that torments them and Houston (and Oswalt's wife) practically lays out the red carpet for the Brewers, yet the Cubs get all the breaks.

 

Gotta love it.

 

Anyone who thinks the Cubs get all the breaks clearly hasn't been watching much Cubs baseball over the past couple months.

[CubmanPi]

The closest thing to a break the Cubs caught was Hopper over-diving on the game-tying triple in what would have been yet another beyond ridiculous game-saving diving catch. That ball was technically within Hopper's range and he could have come up with it, but after Carlos Lee came out of nowhere for that catch in Houston, that miss just barely serves due karmic justice.

Is this what it has come to? Players not making the catch of their career counts as a break for the Cubs?

That Carlos Lee catch was just [expletive]. And before we call Hopper's "missed" catch a break, let's remember how he robbed ARam earlier in the same game.

I'm not saying it counts as a break, I'm saying for how often such ridiculous catchees are made against this team, it's nice to see one fall that was techinically within their reach.

That Lee catch was the worst. It was like he channeled someone else, because Carlos Lee is physically incapable of making that catch. It was like Jason Tyner having a 4 homer game.

... let's remember how he robbed ARam earlier in the same game.

 

the Cubs got two terrible 'breaks' on that play. the second was Hopper catching the ball. the first was that he had an opportunity. with the way Aram crushed that ball, and the wind howling out, it was a freak of nature that the ball wasn't long gone.

Thank your lucky stars that we have such a bad manager or this division would be looking much different. I hate Yost so much but sadly I bet he has done just enough to lose the division for us next year too.

And if the Cubs' big bats played to career norms the Cubs might have 90 wins right now. Apples and oranges, could've, should've, would've.

 

No one has gotten more or less breaks, both teams have been pretty mediocre for a myriad of reasons. Let's not fool ourselves.

 

But having Yost giving away games is good for us.

The Brewers have had as many underachievers or more than the Cubs this season. Say what you will but Yost has cost this team its shot at the playoffs most likely.
