they deserve to lose the wild card to the brewers for switching lester and hendricks
-
use him on the lost cause instead of the team that is chasing us down again. brilliant. If they don’t do it people cry that they are settling for the wild card game. the cardinals series is almost 2 weeks away. the difference between winning or losing the last game against the brewers is huge. 2 games out instead of 4 gives them life. the brewers are closer to them than the cardinals are.

Lines Hendricks up against St Louis is what I heard. use him on the lost cause instead of the team that is chasing us down again. brilliant.
-
wait, they flipped hendricks and lester so lester starts the last game against milwaukee instead? what the horsefeathers is wrong with this organization

just like last season. blow the final 2 series against the brewers with a chance to put them away kb can go too, i'm tired of defending him

i'm straight up rooting against them at this point. can't even put away the legimitately awful brewers

It seems obvious but he doesn’t seem to care about the football situation he’s in. He cares about money and getting enough targets. The whole reason he wanted out of Pittsburgh was they weren’t willing to give him the guaranteed money he wanted. Oakland did so he went there. I doubt Belichick hands him $30M guaranteed (if NE even has the cap space). Belichick is the “wide receiver whisperer”, though, and turns talented (but head case) receivers into all pros. And New England always seems to sign these guys for way lower than their public demands antonio brown is already a 4x first team all pro

I don’t know what’s so hard to get. You can think both the Cubs aren’t very good, annoying and underachievers while also thinking the Cardinals aren’t very good, worse than then Cubs and overachieving the last ~month. After yesterday and today though the math is getting hard to win the division, it’s still possible but not probable and just because the Cardinals likely go on to win the division doesn’t mean my stance is necessarily wrong. you're a cool dude, but essentially saying that the cardinals aren't a good team because their wins came in bunches is silly. nobody is saying they're great, but they're clearly good.

oh brother

how are they "not good"? Because they aren’t. It took a 17-4 record vs horsefeathers teams to get on a 90 win pace and where they’re at. They did this last year in August too. I’m dubious they finish with more than 85 wins. It’s like the Brewers last year that took the heater of all heaters to take us down, maybe it happens again. But we’re better and have 7 shots vs them and they can’t keep playing like .850 baseball for the next month, a correction is due. assuming they lose the game going on right now, they'd have to go 9-17 the rest of the way to finish with only 85 wins. and why does it matter that the 17-4 stretch just happened? those games count. you get a good record by having runs like that. you basically just said "it took them winning a lot of games to have a good record."

all I'm asking is that they put away the legitimately bad brewers, and they can't even do that -

blow it the horsefeathers up, this is embarrassing -
Yeah it’s annoying as horsefeathers because they aren’t good, but good on them. Hopefully they don’t keep it up for September and normalize to their true talent. Annoying we’ve won 9 or 13 and stayed neutral (or lost?) ground. Still gonna have a chance with the 7 against them and them hopefully cooling off. how are they "not good"?
-
I know I ask for it, but don’t act like anyone saw this coming. i said they'd win the series before it started

If the Cardinals go play like .800 baseball from August to the end of September like the Brewers did last year there isn’t much you can do Common misconception about the 2018 Cubs is that they blew the division. Sure they could’ve played better but they were still winning. The Brewers won that thing. Cubs played September to roughly their overall pace. This year the record isn’t as good but a 7-3 streak is great but the Cardinals just keep winning. Frustrating. Edit: Scoring 1 run in our last 3 losses didn’t help the viewpoint but that team was still pulling out Ws. they lost the last 2 series against Milwaukee when winning either would have basically wrapped it up. then they no-showed the game against them for the division. they blew it.

they will lose tonight and then lester will beat degrom 2-1
-
Like the one Heyward makes three times per game? heyward's guttural expletives aren't dorky though

I want the cards to sweep We have to suck it up and cheer for the Brewers at least for 1-2 wins. Which is sickening, I hate the Brewers more than the Cardinals. winning the wild card keeps our playoff streak alive (i care about this), keeps the stupid brewers out of the playoffs, and still puts tons of pressure on the organization in the offseason (failing to win the division in back to back years despite having the best roster is shameful). but mostly i just hate the brewers. i hate the cardinals too, but as long as they don't win the world series, them winning the division doesn't change much in terms of bragging rights. they were never going away anyways. i just can't stand the thought of the fraudulent brewers fluking their way past the cubs this year.
