Brewers(Suppan) @ DBR(R. Ramirez)

Assuming this brewer/red score holds, even when the Cubs get clobbered today the magic # will drop to 1

 

I guess thats why it's callled magic

 

Go Cubs

[BCVM22]

Brewers doing their best imitation of us today. Wow.

[C.C.]

I can't believe how bad they've been playing in September. Wow.

[FergieJ31]

Hold on, I think Barry Larkin just went yard ...

[Outshined_One]

Jon Lieber just went yard.

 

:D

Alfredo Amezaga just hit a 3 run jack against the Phillies... Marlins up 11-6 now in the bottom of the 5th.

 

Not good. It's looking like a first round date with Cole Hamels and the Phillies is inevitable. If the Mets hold on against ATL they'll have a 1 game lead in the loss collumn and also hold the tie breaker, essentially giving them a 2 game lead.

Between Moyer and Hamels (lefties who throw good change ups) the Phillies scare the crap out of me.

Those of us with tickets to tomorrow's game breathe a sigh of relief.

[shnsajax]

With Brewers playing at the same time tom I would almost prefer the scoreboard not to post their game at all. Make it more exciting incase they get shelled again.

[BCVM22]

Come on, Affeldt, just get it done.

[Soul]

Nice of the Phils to oblige us today.

Braves tie it up on back to back errors. Still got a guy at 2nd with no outs.

? We should be rooting for the Phillies.

[Guest]

Screw the Brewers.

 

I just got confirmation I have tix to games 3 and 4 of the NLDS in LA, but I don't want to see the Mets or Phillies play the Dodgers.

 

:evil:

Ah, I see. You don't want them to be the WC.

 

I was thinking HFA.

[BCVM22]

And it's up to the Bulldog tomorrow.

Does it really matter? Clinching the division is pretty much a formality at this point anyway. Thursday's game against the Brewers kind of sealed it. I think there will be a celebration when they win but at this point with such a big lead it will be rather anticlimactic compared to years past.

The clinch watch is on.

Heilman flirted with disaster with Infante, but K's him. 1st & 3rd for the Braves, 2 out.

[islandcub]

Funny cause I was looking at the 5/7 game thread today for pure comedy.

 

It would have been nice to see a big ol' Bakobomb thrown in there.

[mlarner]

I can't believe the Brewers season has spiraled this out of control.

 

If they lose this they will have gone 4-14 in September, gone from up 5.5 games to down 2.5 games (if the Mets and Phillies scores hold), losing 8 games in the standings in an 18 game span. This will likely crush the hopes of all Brewers fans, who really didn't deserve to have this happen to them at all. I mean after waiting 26 years for your team to go into the playoffs, and to be 5.5 games up heading into September, to having this happen to you and knowing that your 2 Ace starters are almost certainly going to leave via FA and you are going to have to start over again....I just cant imagine how bad it must be to be a Brewers fan. I really want them to make the playoffs, but can't see myself rooting for them to beat us, even if the games are meaningless for us.

I hear you, this is exactly what I was thinking myself. I don't dislike the Brewers like I do the Cards, so I do feel bad for their fans (Of course, I wont be losing any sleep over it either :D )

[Soul]

....and just like that, a Brave error, 2 on for the Mets no outs. Mets in position to pull ahead in the 8th

[Guest]

Haha, the Angels lead the Rangers 13-12 in the 5th inning. :shock:

[mlarner]

Wow, Tavarez getting shelled
