C'mon D'backs and Mets, do your fricking jobs!!

[Choonch]

Nice to see that the Brewers have to face Webb, although he has been roughed up a bit lately.

[otis89]

Webb started the game out with 5 called strikes in a row. :shock:

[CubsBears29]

Bags full, no outs for the Beerdrinkers.

 

T2. Ugh.

[TysonCBulls423]

Bases loaded none out for Brewers

[CubsBears29]

1-0 on a WP. Still no outs. Guys on 2nd & 3rd now.

 

CMON WEBB!!! :x

[CubsBears29]

2-0 on a Ribby ground out from Kendall.

 

Guy on 3rd, 1 down.

[CubsBears29]

Brewers run themselves into a DP on a groundout to the pitcher.

 

Pickled the runner between 3rd & home, and batter thrown out at 2nd trying to advance. End of inning, but enough damage done.

 

2-0 Brewers, mid-2

[17 Seconds]

Man, the D-bags are terrible.

[CubsBears29]

3-0 on a Hardy HR.

God hates the Northsiders.

Just to give you perspective on how bad the NL West is, last year the NL Central with 6 teams went a combined 54 games under .500 for the season.

 

This year, just over halfway through, the NL West with only 5 teams is 53 games under .500.

[Schwarber Fan]

The one year when the Cubs get to be the class of the NL, the Cards and Brewers have to be right there with them. It's aint gonna be easy.

The NL West is TERRIBLE!

And on the other side of the coin, remember how the NL Central race last year was better termed "Survival of the Best of the Worst"?

 

Its an actual division race this year (currently). Cubs have the best record in the NL, but are in one of the closest and most heated divsional battle in their own league, and the Majors.

 

Its been stated before, but both the Cards and Brewers would be the divisional leaders ,currently, if in either of the East or West NL divisions right now. StL (2.5 in East on Philly & 6.5 in West on 'Zona) and MIL (0.5 in East on Philly & 4.5 in West on 'Zona).

[CubsBears29]

The NL West is TERRIBLE!

 

If the score holds, there will not an above-.500 team in the West after today's games. That is pathetic.

[CubsBears29]

For more NL West ineptness talk...

 

Of the 11 non-divisional teams, only the Nats and Reds have -.500 records vs the West; 2-8 and 7-11, respectively. All 9 other teams are above .500 vs the NL West.

[WTFCUBS]

2 on no out zona

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And the Dbacks get nothing.

 

They've had baserunners all game with nothing to show for it. Frustrating.

[CubsBears29]

5-0 Brews on a Cameron job.

 

This is soooo laughable.

[TruffleShuffle]

boy arizona is really not a good baseball team.

 

four pitch walk to manny parra, LAWL

[VanceJergins]

The NL West is TERRIBLE!

They are all already under .500

To think some were calling the West the toughest division in baseball before the season.

 

 

And how bad are the D-Backs? It's hard to believe that is the same team we saw in April/early May. Pathetic.

[17 Seconds]

I just looked at the schedule and after today the Brewers start a 10 game homestand against the Pirates, Rockies (4), and Reds. Yikes.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Looks like Manny Parras shaping up to be the latest gem to come out of the gold mine that is the Brewers farm system.
