Will be interesting to see how the Brewers play that final series against the Cubs if we are still in the thick of it.   They probably want to play Miami, but maybe not.  If they want to play the Cubs, their ideal outcome is the Cubs needing to pitch Steele on Sunday to clinch a spot, thus ensuring he can't pitch in the WC series (at least as a normal starter)

Aren’t the brewers something like 10-3 against the Reds. I think they would rather play the reds than the Cubs.

Doubt the Brewers will want to play the Cubs in WC. Just the fact that the Cubs fans will overtake Amfam is probably reason enough for them not to want to play the Cubs.

Steele gets himself in big danger and then gets out of it

[Derwood]

Each team is going to strike out 15 times tonight

[Rcal10]

Did Suzuki even get tagged. Why not look at that one. 1-0 is good, at least. Suzuki on fire!!!!

Mets are up 3-1 on the Marlins. If the Dbacks aren't going to lose anymore, we need the Marlins to go in the tank.

Kind of wish Bellinger was hitting there instead of Happ

Thought that was last week? Either way I think Snell locked up the Cy young last night.

He isn't fooling anyone though.

Don’t think Steele is winning the Cy Young

[abuck1220]

I mean I guess if steele is cooked they weren’t gonna do anything in the playoffs anyway 

[Derwood]

Cuas dumping fuel onto the fire

[UMFan83]

Can't believe that tool was in David Ross's circle of trust.  Might still be.

 

Need to win the next 4 games

Spoiler: They won't.

Steele's ERA for the season is now at 3.00 exactly

[Rex Buckingham]

Well, at least I won't be wasting any more time on this one tonight

Until they change 4 of tonight's runs to Unearned.

You just can't get beat by the Pirates and the Rockies if you're going to be a legitimate playoff team..  14 one night, not much the next seems to be the constant for our Cubs.
