Win, you bums!

[erik316wttn]

Beat the Pirates. Don't pretend they're the '27 Yankees like the Cubs do against the Reds.

[Butterscup1679666578]

We're gonna sweep this series. I guarantee it.

[CubmanPi]

Cubs definitely need the day off. They did pretty well on this big stretch. Hopefully they come out firing against Pittsburgh and put them away like Milwaukee did to Houston the first two games.

[Andy]

We're gonna sweep this series. I guarantee it.

Against 3 lefties? Maybe knocking back a few too many after long days in the athletic office?

[Brian]

I'm trying not to get too excited, but

 

The Brewers have to win 3 more games over the next 11 days than the Cubs to win the division.

I am reminded of Indiana Jones in the first movie, when they move the slab to reveal the crypt with the arc, and Indy drops a torch in, takes a look inside, rolls over, and says "lefties.........why's it gotta be lefties?"

[Omar]

I hope I never start again this year.

[soccer10k]

I hate you CSN.

[C.C.]

Hopefully we can eek out a snarky-like series win. Go Cubs!

[Mark_R]

Hopefully Jason Bay goes all Brant Brown on us, Brewers fans deem us the luckiest team on Earth and we trade Jock to Pittsburgh since the fans have grown tired of Bay's lackadaisical attitude in the field.

 

Some wishful thinking sure.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good:

Day Game

Bad Era

Bad Record

 

bad:

Lefty

[Smack]

I'm not quite sure why - but I've got a really good feeling about Marquis in this start.

[gerby23]

Good gravy, Bay has KILLED Marquis.

[Keener98]

Good gravy, Bay has KILLED Marquis.

 

Yea he has, but Im pretty surprised at the rest of the team. Marquis has dominated Pitts lineup outside of Bay and Izturis(ha).

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good gravy, Bay has KILLED Marquis.

 

Yea he has, but Im pretty surprised at the rest of the team. Marquis has dominated Pitts lineup outside of Bay and Izturis(ha).

 

With Wilson out of the lineup, I could see Izturis being one of those little rat bastard ex Cubs to come back to get us.

I really can't imagine he'd be any more harmful to the Cubs than he already has been. Not that I care to see him try or anything.

What's the over/under on how many amazing, diving, over the shoulder, up against the ivy, game saving catches Nyjer Morgan will make against us?

Sign me as one who has grown tried of seeing the opposition make their defensive plays of the year vs the Cubs.
