im actually not meaning to criticize the cubs because 95 wins is like ... what can you even say? I would have taken that with a healthy team. It's just the constant "well here's the thing, the cubs are good and the brewers are actually bad. ok they're not bad but they aren't good. ok they're good now but they're not real good and we're better. ok actually now we got 2 hit at home and lost the division OK NOW THEY"RE BETTER THAN WE ARE SORRY GUYS" that's obnoxious and wrong. To be fair I kind of get that. As more data was added, we all changed our opinions on the Brewers. Any whining from me on that is because I used Duke and others to calm me down throughout the year and I feel let down even though it completely isnt their fault everyone being like "well look we all had to change our opinion on the brewers when more information came in!" should go back and look at 99 percent of the posts about the brewers on this board from April until like late August. anyway my real point is that it really doesnt matter because this cubs team is the same team tomorrow having lost today as they would have been had they won today. A 95 win team in the playoffs with a couple hot pitchers is as good a threat to win as anyone. -
i mean a pretty good player became prime barry bonds for the past month what the hell can we do Happens all the time in baseball, mistake is counting on it to happen again, Yelich' a very good baseball player. However, expecting to keep up this recent pace is far fetched. Maybe he is this good but, there's a better chance he's not. now do one for the post 2016 cubs

Yeah, that sums up the 2018 regular season perfectly. It was frustrating and mind-boggling and the Brewers played much better than anyone would have thought. i tried to warn you idiots but noooo "lol schoop what is stearns thinking lol the brewers are trash lol look at the run differential" anyway all we have to do is beat colorado* (please be colorado) tomorrow and everything is essentially fine. sucks watching the brewers win on your field in a game you didn't even really need to play but whatever, just win one game and our {entering david mode} win probability for the playoffs or whatever is not meaningfully different than it would have been had we won today. Plus lester is going

theo is probably in his box with a sniper rifle aimed right at chili davis as we speak
-
and while you guys were jerking yourselves off in june about "vaunted run differential" or whatever you totally missed the big picture. on the one hand your self-delusion probably made the games more bearable so there is that the cubs won 95 games while having a thousand things go wrong you psychopath im actually not meaning to criticize the cubs because 95 wins is like ... what can you even say? I would have taken that with a healthy team. It's just the constant "well here's the thing, the cubs are good and the brewers are actually bad. ok they're not bad but they aren't good. ok they're good now but they're not real good and we're better. ok actually now we got 2 hit at home and lost the division OK NOW THEY"RE BETTER THAN WE ARE SORRY GUYS" that's obnoxious and wrong.

that's super good looking at 2019, especially if they sign harper or machado. unfortunately it does us no good right now despite the fact that everyone said the same horsefeathers last year (oh we'll just sign a starter and a bullpen guy and then we'll get heyward fixed and we're all good.)

jesus christ just throw a slider so i can turn this off
-
prepare for the worst baez swing in recorded history on this 3-2 pitch
-
Being set up better doesn't guarantee anything of course, but come on man it's not meaningless at all. Anything can happen but looking at these two teams if I had to pick who is probably going to be better next year, I'm taking the Cubs 9 times out of 10. yeah obviously, i mean it's great to have a head start but it means zilch.
-
here's the thing people like you don't think about - it doesn't matter who is or isn't "set up better." It's a meaningless term. All season long you dorks have been dismissing anything the brewers have done and then constantly ratcheting it back ever so slightly as they kept playing well. That's kinda the rational thing to do. The Cubs have a better roster. They had a better chance to win the division. It looked like that nearly all year. There wasn't much need to worry. Then there was, and we all started worrying. and while you guys were jerking yourselves off in june about "vaunted run differential" or whatever you totally missed the big picture. on the one hand your self-delusion probably made the games more bearable so there is that

is there a way we can opt to play in colorado tomorrow instead of chicago so we might be capable of getting a god damn hit
-
And yet were outscored in the second half and our offense plummeted to the bottom of the league. Some might be due to the schedule but its clear something stinks in Chicago. We will be fine, I'm just trying to drive the final nail in the "Cubs are better than the Brewers and will win the division stop worrying ninny" argument. Stop trying to make these 2nd half stats mean more than they should. yeah only the first half stats mean anything, idiot
-
there it is It’s true. Tell me how they possibly are set up better than us moving forward here's the thing people like you don't think about - it doesn't matter who is or isn't "set up better." It's a meaningless term. All season long you dorks have been dismissing anything the brewers have done and then constantly ratcheting it back ever so slightly as they kept playing well. Guess who was "better set up" than the brewers after 2017. But here we are, because sometimes players fall off or get injured or don't improve like you'd think they would. If you want to console yourself that we have a bigger payroll, go for it. Im glad we do, because if we keep horsefeathering up with Darvishes and Morrows and Heywards etc we're going to need every funking cent.
-
They’re playing better right now/last month but they aren’t much better and aren’t better long term. But if you want to think that go for it. there it is

Let Rizzo Pitch
-
in defense of our bats it's tough to score runs off of {squints] bartolo colon
-
this inning is going to be so horsefeathering sad lol
-
one more day and then i can move on with my life so that's nice
-
the chavez find is a net-negative because the same group of big brains also though trading for kintzler was a good idea
-
the worst thing about them potentially getting out of this inning down 2-1 is that ill talk myself into how sick it would be to get 2 runs off hader and then he'll just strike out six batters on 18 pitches

here comes the three-run bomb

let's go dodgers!
