9/10 Honest-to-Goodness Vaunted Brewers (Somehow Greg Maddux) @ Cobs (Somehow Mike Maddux) 1:20 ABC7/670

[17 Seconds]

 

It's looking rougher for the guy who has been saying since May that the Brewers were going to win the division, considering they still trail the Cubs.

 

It doesn't look quite as ridiculous as the vaunted posters on here thought.

 

I don't know what to tell you. I've had numerous discussions with you about this. The Brewers do suck. They are a .500ish team that played above their heads for half a season. The Cubs played well below their potential for half a season. We trailed by 5.5 games at the break. When it got to that point, I conceded that it was going to be a tight race. How could it not be, if we had to make up 5.5 games with only a few months left?

 

Things haven't gone well for us. And we let the Brewers and the Cardinals hang around for far too long, despite them being inferior opponents. Not much we can do to change that now.

 

but... they're not. certainly not the cardinals. your problem is that you've gone past lovable optimistism and are basically just a new york sports fan now

Yeah, Duker is looking rough on this one right now. Because with 19 games left, we are two games ahead of them. Which means either they aren't the garbage team he has stressed all year that they are, or we aren't quite as #wearegood as he thinks.

 

That said, let's hope the Cubs win the division and his ultimate prediction will still shine through.

Memba when Kris Bryant used to hit home runs?

[UMFan83]

2-3-4 go down like nothing

[Schwarber Fan]

I would also rather see the Cardinals win the division than Milwaukee. F these guys.

[UMFan83]

So in the biggest series of the season the Cubs have scored a total of 3 runs (with an inning to go) and 2 of those runs came after the Cubs trailed 15-0

why? they're a completely non-descript team

[We Got The Whole 9]

Most pathetic series any of us could've imagined

[NotSoSober]

I have Wernickes disease, but I ca n't remember the last time he had an RBI, let alone a HR

So in the biggest series of the season the Cubs have scored a total of 3 runs (with an inning to go) and 2 of those runs came after the Cubs trailed 15-0

 

And the third came on a dropped ball that somehow was ruled a double.

[UMFan83]

Most pathetic series any of us could've imagined

 

And yet 2 of the games the opponent has scored 2 runs and 3 runs. Yesterday was bad but in general we have had every opportunity to win 2 of the games. We just can't hit right now. At all.

You shut your damn mouth.

 

F the Brewers. F their fans. F their city. F them all.

Braun and Counsell are reason enough for me. Plus the multiple occasions of bitching about start times.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh; I'd take the the completely forgettable Brewers winning the division a thousand times over the vile Cardinals.

the cardinals spent half the season fighting with their manager and then the front office sold after the deadline. letting them come back from 7 down in sepotember to win the division would be like the greatest offense any cubs team ever commited

[17 Seconds]

okay, i'm done now. i apologize to everyone in this thread for my petulant existance in today's thread. i'm stressed as hell and just wanted one sliver of happiness from baseball this weekend as a distraction.

 

i don't apologize to the cubs. horsefeathers you, cubs.

[Gilby]

I wonder if we'll be able to score multiple runs against Knebel.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

The sad thing is many of us starting talking crap with three innings to go, giving the Cubs a chance to come back and make a few like me* look like fools.

 

But nope. Damn you, Cubs.

 

*more than usual

Umpiring is so awful

[Schwarber Fan]

One of the worst strike calls ever. Hands down.

[UMFan83]

Don't worry guys Heywards got this!!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That 2-0 pitch to Happ is why the players hate you, umpires.
