    The 4 game set with the Brewers @ Philly this weekend is shaping up to be huge. I'm kind of torn. I'd LOVE to see the Brewers miss the playoffs altogether, but at the same time that would make us face Philly in the first round instead of (hopefully) LA. With the way Hamels completely dominates the CUbs, I want no part of them in a short series. I think we could handle them in a long series though.

    I was just coming to post something about this when I read the Giants recap. 127 pitches tonight for Lincecum. 108 through 8. Up 6-0. Not in playoff contention. A guy who is in his second year as a pro, only age 24. And is already 44 innings over his previous career high. Lincecum isn't going to beat Sabathia or Webb for the Cy Young. It was ridiculously dumb. He did the same exact thing in his last start....I think it was like 132 pitches. I disagree about the Cy, though. From what I've been reading, he's now the favorite with how Webb has been falling apart. C.C. won't get the votes. Dempster even has a (slim) chance if he wins out and Webb/Lincecum struggle. I'd put my money on Lincecum though.

    Oh god I hope not. Having Marquis/Lilly get 4 of the remaining 6 games against Milwuakee would be beyond stupid.

    BUT WE NEED A GOOD HITTER, NOT A GOOD OPSER What do you care? The seasons long over as far as you're concerned. Wait, where did I say anything like that? I've never said the Cubs won't make the playoffs.

    Or even game 2.

    I think that writer might just be jumping to conclusions. I don't see any quotes of Lou saying what the postseason rotation would be, just quotes of his plans for the rest of the regular season. That doesn't mean they have to stick with that order into the playoffs. Even if that guy is right that the top 3 starters would be Zambrano/Dempster/Lilly, that doesn't mean Harden wouldn't get a start. Because of the layout of the DS, the only way your number 2 starter gets 2 starts is if your number 1 starter pitches game 4 on short rest, and I don't think he'll want to do that with Zambrano. Still, it would be kind of stupid to not have Harden pitch towards the beginning of the series. What if it's a sweep? Then he doesn't even get a start.

    lololol. derrek lee is a good hitter right now... he just sucks at OPSing

    Huh? What does that mean? The Cubs ARE a very good team, they're just not playing well right now. I like how you try to take subtle shots while pretending to compliment us though.

    Wait, a .742 OPS is "bordering .800"?

    Ummm, Milwaukee had to face Peavy and Young in back to back games. The Padres are the 27 Yankees next to that pathetic Reds team that we lost a series to. Are you serious right now? First of all, Chris Young isn't good. Also, the Brewers actually won the Peavy game. The games they lost were against Shawn Estes (yes, Shawn Estes) and crappy Chris Young. So losing to those 2 guys AT HOME isn't as bad as losing to Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harand on the road? Yeah, that makes no sense and you know it. Anyways, they'll be facing Volquez and Arroyo in that series and they've been pitching pretty well.

    It's okay guys... we already clinched a playoff spot... right David?

    "Blowing resources" implies that Roberts is a bad player and that anyone would have been able to predict that the Cubs would have been able to trade for Harden like they did AND that DeRosa would have a career year. No, it doesn't. The rumored offer was Gallagher/Veal/Ceda/Cedeno and one other (can't remember who...Patterson?) Trading your top 3 pitching prospects plus 2 others for a minimal upgrade at a position that doesn't need it is a waste of resources, especially when you consider that those parts would be needed later on to upgrade positions that actually need upgrading. Of course we didn't know we'd be able to get Harden, but I think it was pretty much understood around here that we needed another frontline starter and trading 5 guys for Roberts would hurt our chances of getting that done at any point during the season.

    I wonder if the people who are trashing badnews for "patting himself on the back" are the same people that wanted to blow resources on Roberts. Hmm.

    Most anti-climactic win ever?
