  1. Including the normal 5 starters and Monty, (counting only games started for the Cubs) Quintana has the lowest xFIP and lowest FIP in the rotation, and the 3rd lowest ERA.
  2. The thing that pisses me off more than anything is letting the Cards back in it, though. Which, kudos to them for winning some games when it looked like they were dead. I'm not a fan of those series meaning something, though. When it started looking like it would come down to us or Milwaukee, I felt very confident.
  3. So is ours. The main difference is they have 4 less against Milwaukee. Plus they have a heavy dose of Reds and Pirates. But, it's not like our 2 vs. the Rays and 3 vs. the Mets are a huge swing. Also, they are 4 back. Just take care of business and we got this. I think the 7 against Milwaukee and St Louis are actually a major advantage to us. It's very difficult to win 5 of 7 from a team. If that happens, sure we will be in some trouble, but most likely one of the teams goes 4-3 and the Cubs either gain a game or lose a game while burning almost 30% of the remaining schedule. Yeah, the head-to-head games are the big things in the back pockets of the Brewers and Cardinals. Those are what are keeping them alive more than anything. But if they don't fare so hot in those series, the outlook is bleak.
  4. Plus, I'm not positive playing the Brewers is any harder than playing the Pirates at this point. The Brewers are about to be swept by the Reds and go to 22-27 in the 2nd half. And their offense is putrid. We're lined up to face their top 3 this weekend, which certainly makes it more difficult. But it's not like the Cards are that much better than the Pirates. They don't have a cake walk. They could lose series to any of these teams, including the Reds, as the Brewers are seeing right now.

  8. If you thought Jason Whitlock was going to let Albert Breer top him, you were sadly mistaken. [tweet]https://twitter.com/WhitlockJason/status/905233739264868354[/tweet]

  10. No. The Brewers suck. If they don't get a good start, they are toast. They have the worst offense in the majors in the 2nd-half and it's not even close. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2017&month=31&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=&age=0&filter=&players=0 When they don't hit homers, they don't do anything. That's for sure. No. They just plain suck. Their offense is putrid.
  11. The Brewers suck and they might have the worst offense in the league. And they are down 3 runs. Is the currency exchange when down by three against the Bryan Price Reds really tied? No. The Brewers suck. If they don't get a good start, they are toast. They have the worst offense in the majors in the 2nd-half and it's not even close. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2017&month=31&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=&age=0&filter=&players=0
  12. What makes you think the VB's are going to lose? The Brewers suck and they might have the worst offense in the league. And they are down 3 runs.
  13. Remember when you proclaimed the Pirates as division champions?
  14. Looks like Willson is the only one jagging off in here.
  15. I wrote a new article you should read before the game today: How The Cubs Will Repeat in 2017
  16. Nothing to see here.
  17. .199 batting average for Schwarber. Get a load of this guy. He freaking stinks.
  18. If you guys don't think we've had too many injuries yet, I have a lot of free time this week.
