[Bryants Disco Ball]

Meanwhile, Cubswin11 is sitting back feeling good still. Maybe.

No, we are in the danger zone now

 

Glad I read this after the fact. I would have panicked even more.

road series win

 

winning road trip

 

baby steps guys

[UMFan83]

Scored 10 runs off one of the best starters in baseball, won by 3 runs and yet I feel annoyed about the game. But maybe I’m just a miserable person.

Javy really is an idiot. Take the horsefeathering walk.

 

You know it’s gotten bad when the villagers turn on Javy

The Cubs have won 7 of 10 and everyone thinks they’re in a tailspin

[Brian]

for some optimism, being 6 back was a distinct possibility to start this series, 2.5 is going to be worst case scenario on the flight home.

[bcl412]

I could be wrong but games feel wonky when one team gets up big early. Would love to pull off a sweep. We are still in the wild card lead and many years we’d kill to be in that spot. I’m trying to tell myself this for the optimism as there’s a month left still and I can’t help but be invested

[Derwood]

4 straight road wins, what a world

Well, I wouldn't beat yourself up for being annoyed. I mean, we have seen the bullpen/defense do some pretty crappy things and every inning after we were up 10-1 was like being DiCaprio on the Titanic.

 

It's not supposed to be this hard when you are up 10-1 in the fifth, although I suppose this is 2019 baseball.

[Cubswin11]

Win tomorrow and we’re back to the vaunted 11 over .500 number going in to the Vaunted Brewers series, it’s destiny

[Brian]

underrated aspect of this game is we survived the Brad Brach revenge game

Please stop parade-ing on their rain.

[Sammy Sofa]

What a stupid game.

[Schwarber Fan]

Win’s a win. Law of averages says not every Mets better will be Joey Votto again tomorrow, so that’s good.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Sucks using everyone that’s trusted or semi trusted tonight but the W is all that matters.

This sounds an awful lot like last year, though. Not exactly a comfortable feeling.

If the Cardinals go play like .800 baseball from August to the end of September like the Brewers did last year there isn’t much you can do

Common misconception about the 2018 Cubs is that they blew the division. Sure they could’ve played better but they were still winning. The Brewers won that thing.

 

Cubs played September to roughly their overall pace. This year the record isn’t as good but a 7-3 streak is great but the Cardinals just keep winning. Frustrating.

 

Edit: Scoring 1 run in our last 3 losses didn’t help the viewpoint but that team was still pulling out Ws.

That was just the culmination of the 2nd half. In the first half they scored 476 runs in 93 (5.1 per) games with a +114 RD.

In the 2nd they scored 285 in 70 (4.07) games with a +2. They played way over their heads in the 2nd half and won many games we really had no business winning. If the Cardinals had outplayed their RD that badly everybody here would be screaming magic dust luck.

 

This year they scored 455 in 90 (5.1) and a +55 in the 1st half and are at 188 in 41 (4.6) and a +9. Not even doom-bonering here but they have sputtered in a similar fashion.

Our Pythag was still 3 games better than Milwaukee so the Brewers were probably the more lucky team. Especially since they won a game because Adolis Garcia fell rounding 3rd instead of tying the game and the next game Castellanos deflected a ball over the fence for what would be agame winning home run.

 

My point being was that we didn’t have some dog horsefeathers September. The Brewers only losing 7 games did us in. Of course aided by us losing 4 of 6 vs them. Could’ve been a 3-3 split if Carl and Cishek aided by Bryant didn’t give up 2 of the most dumb runs ever.

[Brian707]

What if he didn't get pulled in that World Series game and that's what happened? Whoa.

 

 

What if the ump in the bottom of the 5th called strike 3 and it would have been a 1-2-3 inning? Cubs probably win that game 5-1, and I wouldn't have had like 10 years cut off my life

they lost the last 2 series against Milwaukee when winning either would have basically wrapped it up. then they no-showed the game against them for the division. they blew it.

Well horsefeathers
