Where is everyone? Did someone start a new WFC and not invite me?

Wow 3 huge yardage plays in a row and TB is in the red zone.

Len, if you don't plan HR calls, what do you call that Edmonds HR vs. Atlanta earlier this year :)

Len was in the house today. My GF got a picture of him leaving the game. I wonder why he was at the game and where he sat. I'm honestly not sucking up when I saw Len is awesome. People are either going to love or hate his voice cracks during big moments. I choose to love them. Len's best call ever was when Murton scored on a WP last year against the Phillies to move into a first place tie. "...and the Cubs win! The FIRST PLACE Cubs win!"

I'll kick whoever's ass doesnt pick Geovany Soto. I expect to see a unanimous sweep.

I'm rewatching Game 1 of the 1984 NLCS vs. SD. Ron Cey had 25 HRs that year and was 5th in the league. How messed up is that?

HFA number is still 4, but technically I don't know what it really is considering we wont be playing that last game against Houston. Any non drunk people want to indulge?

COKE DEALAAAAA

SORI!!! Why is he waving to the dugout?

I'm going to pretend that this is Z's start today and not that other thing we witnessed.

Len and Bob are chatting about the game right now.... I'm drunk btw...

FALSE Cubs have 10 games left If Cubs go 0-10, Brewers need to go 8-0 to force a tie If Cubs go 1-9, Brewers are eliminated Doesn't look all that likely that they'll be playing more than 9 games. As we just established in our AIM chat: mikeak21 (AF) (10:23:37 PM): we're not gonna have to play that game in HOU on the 29th are we? UMfan83 (10:24:29 PM): nope LMAO! But we'll still need 10 games if the Cubs lose 9 and the Brewers win 8. You still have to include it in the equation even if its nearly impossible that 10th game will be played.

They're facing a talented but struggling NL Central team trying desperately to clinch a playoff spot despite an injured ace and an underperforming supporting cast; the resemblance is certainly there, no? To the 2008 Cubs? Not really. The only part that's really even close about that comparison is the injured ace part, but the situations really aren't comparable even in that specific case. As I said before though, its hard to ignore the similarites between this 2008 Brewers team and the 2004 Cubs team. Actually the 04 Cubs and the 07 Mets are prolly a little bit of a better comparasion then the 08 Brewers and the 04 Cubs. Simply because both teams were very talented, and held a division lead late in the season and then collapsed. Nonetheless 08 Brewers, 07 Mets and the 04 Cubs are definately comparable teams... Except the Cubs didn't hold a divisional lead..

I can't believe the Brewers season has spiraled this out of control. If they lose this they will have gone 4-14 in September, gone from up 5.5 games to down 2.5 games (if the Mets and Phillies scores hold), losing 8 games in the standings in an 18 game span. This will likely crush the hopes of all Brewers fans, who really didn't deserve to have this happen to them at all. I mean after waiting 26 years for your team to go into the playoffs, and to be 5.5 games up heading into September, to having this happen to you and knowing that your 2 Ace starters are almost certainly going to leave via FA and you are going to have to start over again....I just cant imagine how bad it must be to be a Brewers fan. I really want them to make the playoffs, but can't see myself rooting for them to beat us, even if the games are meaningless for us.

I saw Z's postgame interview. He looked tired and his voice was hoarse. I'm really sorry to hear about his grandmother, but I do feel better about his start being solely a matter of him being distracted and not prepared to start. He said he didn't get in until last Thursday night/Friday morning, his legs were really tired so they weren't responding the way they normally would, and said that he wanted to start today because he wanted to be a hero, whatever that means.

Now he knows how his wife felt.

Does that make sense? Hmm Tuesday - In Chicago, threw out first pitch of Cubs-Brewers game Wednesday - Flies to Venezuela Thursday - Flies to Chicago Friday - Starts vs. Cardinals Why would they even have him start without a bullpen session or side work after coming back from Venezuela?

Z sucked (possibly because his grandmother died), and there was absolutely no drama in the game after the 2nd inning.

As one of the few people that somewhat follows both sides of town, I'd rather listen to a game than the radio/IPod, I enjoy the pre and post game shows as well as your patience with the callers after a loss. I listen to the pre/post shows occasionally too. Every team has their crazy fans, but the Sox seem to have the worst of them. I think in order it goes 1. Sox 2. Bears/Cubs 4. Bulls

OK Reds, lets get that magic number down to 1 so all we need to do is worry about winning tomorrow and then we can celebrate on the field and do all that fun stuff.

Oh nice, welcome to the board! Tell Boers and Bernstein they are awesome, even though I'm probably the heavy minority on the board :)

Do you work for the Score?

Alright, we got 2 back. Now all we have to do is double our comeback from yesterday in the 9th
