09/28 Cubs (Guzman) @ Brewers (CC) 1:05 PM WGN TV

It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, but - honestly - I always enjoy seeing the Cubs win (whether it be w/the A-team or B/C-team). Therefore, to help muster some good karma, here's some pics (pardon the fact that they are not necessarily Cubs-related):

Dear Chicago Cubs,

 

I appreciate what you did to the mets and because of that we're back in the playoff race. However if we(Brewers fans) could ask for one more favor and please lose this game it will be greatly appreciated.

 

Yours Truely

 

Brewers Fans

 

 

At least you folks have a sense of humor. Most of us here appreciate it; just ignore the haters. They forget that the Cubs were once in a similar position versus the CARDS AND THE ASTROS.

 

Either way, my fondest baseball memories are from riding the train from Oklahoma to Milwaukee and going to see baseball games with my grandfather. Of course the team back then was called the Braves and the venue was County Stadium. Even back then it was :old_givebeer:

 

Ah the memories. As Fred and I know. :yahoo:

The creepazoid on the left looks like he has eyes for the kid in the blue, and the kid just wants to get out as fast as possible.

I want the Cubs to win their 98th game of the season! I'm not hating on the Brewers but IMO, the Mets are a better first round matchup than the well-rested Dodgers. Oh yeah, there's some serious over exposure in this thread. :lol:

 

Go Cubs!

Go Twins!

Go Mets!

Go Indians!

 

FYI, TBS will be showing the Marlins vs Mets after a rain delay.

After reading all the whining on the Brewers board yesterday, really it doesn't matter what Lou does those people are going to cry about something. Personally I thought the point of making the playoffs was to win and earn your way instead of expecting other teams to lay down for you. The Brewers have blown plenty of opportunities to win games and make the whole situation be entirely in their control.

When are the effects of throwing a bizzillion pitches going to show up for Sabathia? Will it be today?

Exactly! I know it wasn't the majority of Brewerfan yapping about Lou but the people who were are delusional. The Brewers had the second best record in the League, at one point, so the fact that they are in this situation is all on them.

Wow, who's that?

[CubmanPi]

Soriano definitely looked overmatched.

[UMFan83]

I have a feeling that Sabathia is going to dominate us today. I don't know why, we've hit him well, but we'll see.

 

Wow Soriano is in a bad slump

[UMFan83]

Soriano definitely looked overmatched.

 

Yet he's pretty good lifetime vs. CC

[CubmanPi]

Nice short inning for CC. WTG Cobs.

[UMFan83]

I know the Cubs have done well swinging early in the count vs. Sabathia, but with him going on 3 days rest for the third straight start, it might be wise to take a few pitches. I'm not a manager though.

I believe he'll look good through the early innings, if his work load is going to take a toll, it'll show up in the middle innings.

[CubmanPi]

Soriano definitely looked overmatched.

I know this lineup should be able to touch him up pretty well. Hopefully whatever his mental block is, it goes away in the next two days.

The mental block is probably apathy

[hardcorecubfan]

Was that not any other rookie that could have started over Guzeman?

 

Not fond of him

Anyone could have started. The Cubs probably gave him the start to reward him for his hard work back from TJ

Funny, I've had the same thing all week. I'm definitely in favor of Mets the first round instead of the Dodgers though, so I wouldn't mind a win today.

[gflore34]

Why do people think Cameron is star player? I look at his stats and see an average to mediocre hitter, nothing more.

[CubmanPi]

Guz with the K on a pretty sweet curveball.

[PrimeTime]

So what are we rooting for? I see everyone wants Milwaukee to win?
