There aren't enough lolz in the world.

[Balsa]

Well I'll be damned.

 

WHAT A GAME! Way to go Cubs, taking maybe the toughest looking matchup from the Brewers!

Great win tonight. This one I pegged for a loss, so I feel good about our chances to take 3 and even better about our chances to split.

 

Suck on it Brewers!

I'm dieing over the Plesac riding the big blue train graphic. :lol:

Does Zambrano have any younger brothers, I wonder

[Bruno7481]

Don't overlook the job Lilly did tonight. I know he gave 3 at the end, but he pitched very well. I'll take that at the back end of the rotation.

[Hall7810]

Weeks was just releasing that ball when Johnson took him out.

Next time, Howry should replace Fontenot, and Zambrano should use a sledgehammer.

Tonight was much bigger for the Brewers than the Cubs, I'm glad we took it. Now we leave Milwaukee, at worst, -1. But I expect much better.

 

It's early to tell, but most pleasing was the plate approach looked markedly better. We'd been getting some guys on against the Marlins, and did a decent job against CC. Glad to see that pitch count up on both him and Torres. The Brewer's bullpen progression should be interesting tomorrow night.

post game ESPN comments by Buck Showalter:

 

"I still like the breweres in the NL central. CC pitched well enough for them to win tonight and had his high pitch count for the year."

 

Wow. What a bafoon. It's fine if you think the Brewers will win the division, but give a better reason than that crap.

2nd game of a 14 game win streak? ; :grin:

[17 Seconds]

Man, best win of the season right there. I thought we had little chance of winning this game, with the worst of our 4 starters going against their best. I'm liking the matchups the rest of the way.

 

This team showed me a lot today. Twice they blew leads and twice they responded. Good to see that on the road.

[ELCABALLO45]

good game, Crazy game.

 

The Brewers lost it themselves and that is the worst part of this loss.

 

This is how these are suppose to be

[WTFCUBS]

130 CC pitches, for nothing.

 

 

Awesome.

suck on it indeed

Not according to Buck Showalter.

[VanceJergins]

So what was CC's official pitch count?

[bukie]

This game really shouldn't have been even as close as it was. The Brewers offense was held in check but for one inning, and the Cub offense had chances all night. Eventually the Cubs are going to start converting on their fair share of chances, and the runs will come more frequently.

I know the Brewers' pen is terrible, but I was surprised to see Yost leave Sabathia out there for 120+ pitches.

You don't know much about Ned Yost.

I saw that interview a few minutes ago, "oh theyve got a whole lot going for them"

 

Yea, in insane manager, a terrible bullpen, and a feast or famine HR dependent offense.

[bukie]

The Brewers lost it themselves and that is the worst part of this loss.

 

This is how these are suppose to be

 

The Brewers hardly beat themselves. They blew one defensive play and saved themselves several other runs (of course, a couple were thanks to 3rd base coach Mike Quade). The Cubs had chances all night and barely converted (finally in the 9th). The Brewers had chances in one inning and got the most of it.

The botched double-play was directly caused by Reed Johnson's slide. That wasn't a blown play as much as it was a blown up play.

giddy as a schoolgirl in that interview.
