Brewers might make us have to win to stay in 1st tonight, up 3-0 in the 3rd

I got fatigued talking about this, but people are just going to have to accept the fact that the Brewers aren't going away. It's probably going to come down to those seven games we play against them in September.

Theyre going away. Between 8/14 and 9/3 they have 3 vs Pit, 3 each at COL, SF, and LAD, 2 vs STL and 4 vs WAS.

 

Meanwhile, we'll be having 3 each vs CIN and TOR, 3 each at CIN and PHI, 3 vs PIT AND 4 vs ATL.

 

They will be 6-7 out when thats over and itll be September 3rd and they still wont be very good.

Actually I think they host Washington for four (not three) at the end of this month and early Sept. I think.

 

Most agree with you, so that's good. It's also weird that by Thursday they will have played four more games than us. Which offers a little bit more of a challenge. I have no idea how they are up that many games. I don't remember us having a lot of rainouts.

[Bote McBoteface]

I had to edit to make it more obvious when the brewers were on the road/home. And yeah, its 2 vs STL and 4 vs WAS. Looks weird with the month ending so i misread it, thanks.

it's not about them falling off, it's about the cubs playing to their potential and taking advantage of the soft schedule down the stretch. if the brewers continue playing at the same pace, the cubs should be able to pull away.

I usually stay up late, especially in the summer. The few times a summer these late night games happen I find it quite enjoyable

Good point. True.

You got fatigued talking about this because they squandered a 5.5 game lead already.

No. I got fatigued by the whole, the Brewers don't suck, the Brewers suck thing. There is nothing left to say. They had a bad stretch that happened to come during our great stretch. It feels super fortunate that it happened.

 

But it also seemed like people thought that was the end of them, rather than a bad stretch on the road.

Nope. They still suck.

Which is fine. It's just super weird that they are so close to us when we are spending $120 million more and also actually made big moves in July.

 

That helped us make up 5.5 games of course, but it's still weird to us that it's this close in August.

It's not that weird. We played like horsefeathers for half a season and they played way over their heads. Did you expect them to be more than half-a-game up on August 7 after they trailed by 5.5 at the break?

right before that they had a great stretch that happened to come during a bad cubs stretch. it feels super unfortunate that it happened.

 

both the brewers and cubs have kind of sucked for the first 4 months. the optimism has always stemmed from the cubs clearly having a better team on paper and being projected to be better because of it

I did not. I am very happy about that. I just.... in April I never thought we'd be trailing them by 5.5 in July or be up a half-game in August.

 

I'm still trying to process it all.

Well, we all agree that the first half was weird. But, you just said we had to go out and make moves in July to make up the 5.5 games, but that it is weird that it is still this close in August.

 

When we got back 5.5 in July, it was always going to be close in August.
