Bard 1-run single 2-1 MIL, bases still juiced, 1 down

KG BBs!! Bases loaded, 1 down!! Sheets up in the pen.

Agreed Yeah, thats basically my thoughts. Single Padres! BB! 2 on, 1 out for the Pads!!

Anyone have an opinion? I've already let my own personal feelings be known on this... I want the playoff spot clinched tonight.

Hate to cheat the Cubs out of an on-field celebration, or the fans who would love to see that, but I'm too tightly wound for more pressure... I would realllllly like this division clinched in a couple hours.

Dads? haha. d00d. give up on the Brewers game. the winning is here... Sorry, I want this over TONIGHT. Although, if the Cubs win, I could find a way to settle for clinching tomorrow.

Seriously, your a PITCHER!! Why the hell was Maddux either more than 1.5 steps away from 1st and/or leaning?!

My liver is glad I'm not a Mets fan!

Padres just taking absolutely HORRID swings at Cappy. Fraking Dads... YOU NEED WINS TOO!! Its not just about helping us!

I'm ready to start. I'm waiting on the girlfriend to go to the store and buy some Jaeger, Red Bull, and Rum. It's gonna be a long night of heavy drinking! Play a game with the alcohol. Turn on the Brewers game, on FSN Wisconsin, and when they either show an update (actual game or graphics) and/or talk about the Cubs' game, take a shot. You'll be s*-faced after 15 minutes.

That they do.

GIDP is out now... so a K and a lazy flyout now, CMON Z!!

Cmon Z... don't lose focus here. GIDP and a K, por favor!!

X2 If th brewers can take a lead, idk what i'll do... They are leading... 2-0.

Nothing for Pads after 1.5. 2-0 Brewers, coming to bat

So...... do we want our potential 1st round opponent to have to play a bunch of "playoff to get into the playoffs" games (2) or do we want to find out who our opponent/destination ASAP?

This must have been the designated "extremely weak, and quick, outs" inning.

I love how they show a Cubs/Reds update coming back from every commercial break... cause I'm sure Brewers fans at home, who are watching the game, aren't finding some way to follow the Cubs' game too. :roll:

Why do I get this poopy feeling that Capuano is gonna be a God on the mound tonight and Maddux will keep giving up hits and runs?? But Cubs only have themselves to blame that they can't clinch tonight, or haven't already, if Padres do lose (and we win).

IWMSAN :evil: 2-0 Brewers

Brewers fans and those white towels... gawd they are so effing lame!!!!!! 1-0 Brewers on Braun sac-fly

Looking at all possible playoff possibilities..... Cubs (or Brewers) will be 3-seed regardless - aka, they can't win out and finish ahead of any of the other divisional winners [or the WC winner for that matter]. I'm only gonna use the Cubs for the Central (HOMER!) but should the Brewers take it, you could just sub them in wherever the Cubs are at; There's just tooooooooo many to list... but if narrow it down to just who will be the playoff teams, we can get a gauge - doesn't really matter their seeds, as matchups will come out either way. - NYM-ARI-CHC-SD Mets vs Padres / Dbacks vs Cubs or Mets vs Dbacks / Padres vs Cubs - NYM-ARI-CHC-PHI Mets vs Cubs / Dbacks vs Phillies or Mets vs Dbacks / Phillies vs Cubs - NYM-ARI-CHC-COL Mets vs Rockies / Dbacks vs Cubs or Mets vs Dbacks / Rockies vs Cubs - ARI-PHI-CHC-SD Dbacks vs Cubs / Phillies vs Padres or Dbacks vs Phillies / Padres vs Cubs - ARI-PHI-CHC-NYM Dbacks vs Mets / Phillies vs Cubs or Dbacks vs Phillies / Mets vs Cubs - ARI-PHI-CHC-COL Dbacks vs Cubs / Phillies vs Rockies or Dbacks vs Phillies / Rockies vs Cubs - SD-NYM-CHC-COL Padres vs Cubs / Mets vs Rockies or Padres vs Mets / Rockies vs Cubs - SD-PHI-CHC-COL Padres vs Cubs / Phillies vs Rockies or Padres vs Phillies / Rockies v Cubs So 4 NLDS matchup possibilities vs the Dbacks, 4 each vs Padres or Rockies & 2 each vs Mets or Phillies.

Last 3 games for teams involved; PHI vs Nationals NYM vs Marlins CHC @ Reds MIL vs Padres ARI @ Rockies (***) SDP @ Brewers (***) = playoff matchup that can't actually be called a "playoff matchup"! Wow. Definitely a series to keep an eye on, besides ours and SD/MIL.

[ok, ok... Cubs could clinch tomorrow if they win + Brewers loss, but everything else is still way up in the air] NL East: PHI 87-72 -- NYM 87-72 -- NL Central: CHC 83-76 -- MIL 81-78 2.0 NL West: ARI 89-70 -- SDP 88-71 1.0 COL 87-72 2.0 NL WildCard: (ARI 89-70) SDP 88-71 -- PHI 87-72 1.0 NYM 87-72 1.0 COL 87-72 1.0 Pretty much playoff baseball, except its not called that, in the final weekend of the season. Its a "win or go home" 3-game series fo 5 teams [Cubs & ARI excluded since they lead their respective divisions currently].

ONLY if the Phillies end up winning the East, and Mets end up missing out on the playoffs.
