I want to puke

[David]

I know nobody is going to calm down, and I know it's not going to help, but I wish people would relax.

 

The Brewers coming back to win this division at this point is pretty statistically improbable.

 

People seem to consider it extremely realistic because in their mind they are, for whatever reason, expecting the Brewers to win every game and the Cubs to lose every game.

 

Sorry, but it's absurd to tell fans to calm down when their team is playing like crap at the end of the race. You are way off on your claim about the fear. MIL doesn't have to win every game and the Cubs don't have to lose every game. If they lose today, and MIL wins, all they need to do is play one game worse over the weekend, and they will have to play a play-in game, which the Cubs won't have anybody good to start, and they will screw up their chances in the playoffs anyway if they give the ball to Zambrano. The only reason not to worry is if you think it's next to impossible for the Cubs to lose this game and 2 of 3 to Cincy, and for MIL to take 3 of 4 against SD at home.

 

I didn't say they have to play out that way. I said that people are just assuming Cubs games coming up on the schedule are losses and Brewers games coming up are losses. The Brewers..who have showed a propensity to blow big games all year... They have to play their games, too. And tougher games at that.

 

"OHHHH the sky is falling."

 

It's not impossible for them to blow it, but it's definitely improbable and I'm not going to complain at this point about the situation the Cubs find themselves in. If they blow it, they didn't deserve it. It's that simple.

and then he strikes out. this is too predictable at this point. too painful as well.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I have to go pick up my girlfriend. When I get back I expect this game to be different.

[CubmanPi]

Um...anyone know where the team that played last weekend went?

They lost to the Diamondbacks today, 8-0.

What I'm worried about is (since we proved we can't win a game) that we will have no shot at going anywhere if we do make the palyoffs.

[UMFan83]

Seriously...anyone that wants to tell me its statistically improbable to lose this division, have your freaking team win a damn game and then I will believe you.

 

You can keep saying 'oh the lead is 1 with only 3 to go, all they have to do is win 1 game and they have to go 2/3 to tie." Don't give me that crap. Win a freaking game.

[illiniguy]

nice hit theriot. you have been huge these last two months.

[E.J.]

Riot crushed that one.

[Burtonbell]

Either way, The Cubs suck right now...
