    Thats exactly what I think will happen with Pujols out. Wainwright might be good for a victory in that series though. Who knows.
  2. UMFan83
    As a fair weathered Blackhawks fan, I know exactly what your talking about. We actually still consider the Blues a rival too I think
  3. UMFan83
    The Braves used to be based in Milwaukee, is anyone sensing a conspiracy 'brewing' here?
  4. UMFan83
    I think I read somewhere that if the Brewers lose today, the percentage goes up to around 82%

    If the Cubs go......Brewers record to tie....to win: 0-9....2-9...3-8 1-8....3-8...4-7 2-7....4-7...5-6 3-6....5-6...6-5 4-5....6-5...7-4 5-4....7-4...8-3 6-3....8-3...9-2 7-2....9-2...10-1 8-1....10-1...11-0 9-0....11-0...N/A

    The Cub will be in Florida for the last 2 days of your trip at least.

    The only game of this series that will be on TBS is Sunday's game.
  8. UMFan83
    Yup. Thank God. Between Wrigley and Soldier Field, Chicago sucks at keeping grass healthy
  9. UMFan83
    I would be ok with it, but if he starts to suck we need to have a viable long reliever option ready.
  10. UMFan83
    Gosh that would just be perfect if the Brewers replicated us and got their own amazing win.
  11. UMFan83
    Sure wish Ramirz was up next
  12. UMFan83
    If we blow this opportunity I'm going to cry
  13. UMFan83
    WHAT THE HELL OMG WHY DIDNT YOU GO!!!!! WTF NOW FLOYD WILL GIDP

    :lol:

    Darn, I was really hoping he was going to come back, put the team on his shoulders and carry us, once again, to the playoffs.
  16. UMFan83
    The Braves will give them trouble this weekend. As I said we'll have a 2 game lead by Monday. Can't happen as we have an uneven number of games from now until Monday

    I edited the first post for the changes to the rotations of the Pirates, Brewers, Marlins and Cardinals based on news and what ESPN.com has up for pitching probables. It looks a bit different than what I had yesterday.

    But they're not in a pennant race. I think the competitive balance should lie somewhere between playing like a playoff race and rolling over. Did the Phillies complain when we trotted out this lineup last September: Pierre, CF Bynum, 2B Ramirez, 3B Jones, RF Murton, LF Moore, 1B Blanco, C Cedeno, SS Walrond, P Besides, who the heck cares if Woody Williams was taken out of the rotation. Do you really think he was going to shut down the Brewers? Last year? That lineup was probably better than our freaking starters. Yes, I think woody williams and roy oswalt would have had a much better chance of stopping the crew than a couple clowns. Yes. The whole point is, if they were still in it they wouldn't be doing this, and also that they weren't in it before either when they faced us and we got their better starters. There's an inequality here that can't be muted. Woody Williams is terrible. Why not take their chances with one of their prospects and try to catch the Brewers 'off guard'. I was told the reason that they are doing this now is because they were officially eliminated from the playoffs on Monday. I know thats a joke because they were mentally done a month ago, but it is what it is.

    Ben Sheets may miss his next start,,,We are in fine shape. He may miss a lot more tha that, and dont forget that we face the Pirates this weekend and most likely miss Gorzelanny and Snell. UMFan83 has Zambrano facing Gorzelanny this weekend in his "Probable Starters" thread cubs.com also has Gorzelanny going on Sunday. Not only that but the unstoppable Zach Duke on Saturday. Career 4.20 ERA, but a 1.57 career ERA in 7 starts against the Cubs

  22. UMFan83
    The good news is, they will likely matchup again next weekend
  23. UMFan83
    Why would they just throw away $25,000? It's pretty obvious that on a first visit, the manager shouldn't have to call for a double switch before going to the mound. Apparently, according to Len they don't have to pay the fee

    Is it? Do you see the scrub the Astros are throwing out tomorrow. Guys we aren't really tied for first. We are as good as in second the way the Brewers are playing. The Astros suck and they're 12-4, soonto be 13-4 vs. theBrewers this season. The Brewers have 4 against Atlanta, 3 against St. Louis, and 4 against San Diego. This division is the Cubs for the taking. It all depends on how bad they want it. Look at the pitching matchups though. They do not favor us. Other than Hudson, Smoltz and Young, they face all really bad pitchers with over 5 ERAs. Hudson hasn't been good since May, Smoltz is negated by Gallardo (who has 21 straight scoreless innings) and Young has an over 4.00 ERA on the road. Meanwhile Lilly goes on 3 days rest tomorrow and Z's last 2 starts are negated by Gorzelanny and Harrang again
