How does the MIL series shake out?

[biittner77]

I went with Brewers sweep. :^o

 

Ted pictures of Lilly gets rocked to set the tone for the series. [-(

 

Sheets continues to own the Cubs. ](*,)

 

Dempster does ok but still loses. #-o

 

Harden pitches well but the pen blows it. :banghead:

[UMFan83]

I'm sort of pessimistic.

 

They've hit CC in the past but Sheets manhandles them. Dempster isn't the same guy on the road. I think the only "lock" is Harden.

 

I voted Brewers 3 out of 4.

 

How does Sheets "own the Cubs"?

 

3.76 lifetime ERA against us

 

2.31 this year

3.91 ERA last year against them

Didn't play the Cubs in 06 due to injury

5.49 ERA in 05 against them.

4.50 ERA in 04 against them.

 

He's good against us, but not even up to his career averages.

The Cubs are going to crap all over the Brewers in this series.

:-k

 

I'm still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or not.

[TruffleShuffle]

i would like to change my vote to "split"

[Vanilla Ice]

win lose win win

 

Cubs take three out of four

right on track so far

[NCCubFan]

After winning this game I think a split is the WORST likely outcome of the series, and 3 of 4 is very realistic.

My predictions anger the baseball gods... so I stopped making them long ago. But I am very happy about the way this series started.

[biittner77]

I stand by my original prediction :^o

[bukie]

After last night, I decided to go with Brewers sweep.

[NCCubFan]

After beating the Brewers' two best pitchers to start the series I'm thinking sweep now. I'm greedy.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Hmmm, the crow I'm eating is mighty good....

[NCCubFan]

With just the right seasoning crow can be downright delicious. :D

[Rob]

Feelin real good...

The five of us who predicted a Cubs sweep are looking pretty good right now.

[JimSorgi]

The five of us who predicted a Cubs sweep are looking pretty good right now.

Yes we are.

[NCCubFan]

I think the Cubs either split or take 3 of 4. I'm into aiming high this year rather than settling for good enough, so I voted 3 of 4.

OK, I'm aiming high, but not high enough. I want a sweep, dammit!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow...this series couldn't have gone better. 3 wins already with a chance for the sweep with Harden on the mound against a team of free swingers!

[CubmanPi]

I just voted that they split, but I hope I'm wrong.

Soriano and Fukudome approve of this message.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Cubs will kick the crap out of the Brewers in this series

 

Holla

[SouthSideRyan]

I thought we'd lose to Sheets, take 3 out of 4. This was incredible. Just an absolute stepping on their throats and mudering their families while they sleep.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I honestly think we lose the first 3, and Harden gets his first W as a Cub in the series finale. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so....

 

Well....at least I got ONE thing right--Harden got his first Cubs W!!!

[TruffleShuffle]

score one for the homer picks!

[NCCubFan]

I thought we'd lose to Sheets, take 3 out of 4.

I actually liked the Cubs' chances against Sheets (with Z pitching) better than Sabathia (with Lilly pitching). Good thing we were both wrong.
