9/10 Cobs (Jon) vs Brewers (Miley Cyrus) 7:05 NBCSC

[minnesotacubsfan]

horsefeathers you ump. you screwed Lester on that pitch all night

[Cubswin11]

Cool zone there ump

[Sammys Boombox]

The Cubs offense has a wRC+ of 96 in the second half this year, 19th in baseball

Well, that just destroyed my hopes of actually holding onto the division.

[TMan92]

One of these teams has a killer instinct. The other is the Cubs.

[Brian]

I wonder what it's like to have a guy that throws upper 90s, only strikes that nobody can touch

[abuck1220]

at least we have schwarber to ph vs jeffress in the 9th

[Sammy Sofa]

My expectations are lowered to the point that I just want them to hold onto the division....and that's about it. Yeah, I know baseball is baseball, but I have no idea how this team as it stands right now would manage to get through to the end of the postseason. They're just too beaten up, and there's no relief coming.

[Andy]

Haha Matt Adams has decided to be good at baseball again and puts STL on top against Pittsburgh

[Schwarber Fan]

At least if the Brewers make the playoffs we’ll get to see an epic meltdown by Hader at some point.

[TMan92]

About time for the give up reliever.

[Gilby]

I have concerns.

[Sammys Boombox]

I’m pretty pissed that we’re struggling to put it away this year. We’re in what is supposed to be the Rizzo/Bryant prime years with Zobrist and Javy having career years, and a very solid pickup in Murphy. This team should own.

[Brian]

i'm having a hard time remembering ever watching one of my teams win a game.

[Andy]

If we are the 06 Red Sox, that means we're winning it all next year... Right?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Maybe this is just year 2 of the world series hangover... Kind of like that 2nd day hangover that doesn't feel bad but you can tell that something is a little bit off. Next year everything will be back to normal!

Hader gonna come in and K 9 guys now

6 Ks down 3 to go

[BigSlick]

the last 3 or so days have been some of the worst days in my chicago sports watching life, so, feel free to like, change that or whatever

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm not saying people are wrong all the time, but I'm sort of tired of always blaming the umps.

They pinch hit for him so he could do this again on Wednesday.

I'm hoping it solidifies them not horsefeathering around and not letting themselves get outbid in the offseason, plus no cutesy [expletive] like Chatwood or scrapheap critical relievers who can't stay healthy.

I tend to agree. Sometimes I miss the pre pitch track days of "that was too close to take."

Cubs magic number has only decreased by 3 since last Sunday.

[Brian]

so what is going to happen

 

a) Brewers get a couple of runs

b) Cubs go down 1-2-3 very quickly

c) Cubs gets something going for Russell to kill the rally

We all want them to hold on. But you don't think they are at this point, right?

[r_mack]

Is it a bad time to let people know that Matt Adams just hit a go ahead homer in the 8th
