PrintAs if you needed an update...we're 1.5 out of the Wild Card, behind the Mets. The Phils are 1.5 ahead of them. Best to root for losses to both, just to make sure.
Go...Cubs?
[UPDATE] Phils win, but Mets lose. 1 game back.

since we are all Cubs fans for the next 4 days there is something on WGN at 8 CT called “All-Time All-Chicago Team”. I don’t know if it is limited to baseball but I think that the “superfans” from the SNL skit should make the cut.
September 15: Not a bad little Monday
Not much relevance to the Crew
but David Price is making his first major league start tonight against Baltimore.
My first post here is about a Ray, who would’ve thought?
I looked at Gameday and I was sad for a second there before I realized what was going on
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
And Marquis proceeds to give it back on a wild pitch
Twit.
No matter how much I want the Cubs to win their next 4 games, that “Go Cubs Go” song still makes me nauseous.
back to back doubles score another run
the scary part is that Lou probably won’t push his better bullpen pitchers
Maybe the vaunted Cubs offense should hit a rookie left hander hard.
A Marquis performance from a Marquis player
Or is that joke fairly tired by now? I hope not.
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
Is it really?
Or does it just feel like the first time?

Are we gonna have to fly a W flag?
Or just the Mets Lose one?
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
I really hope someone can make a Mets Lose flag
Cheering for the Cubs here is like one of those Mafia movies where they make a guy do something morally unsettling to keep his wife’s car from getting blown up.

I vote for pic 1 from the other night
I’m not a fan of the choker one, cuz you could essentially make the same picture with a Brewers fan and it would still be valid:’(

I am going to need months of therapy after this series
4 nights of pulling for the Cubs can do things to a man ;)
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
No official news yet, but
Welcome back, buddy! (crossing fingers)
Who would’ve thought that Yovani and CC Sabathia would be pitching us towards a wildcard berth after we got swept by the Red Sox in May?
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
I wonder what they'll do
they still might just use him out of the pen. They’ve said he wasn’t hitting, but we all know how they conceal information from us, Gord admitted that a few weeks ago. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they announced McClung and then when they ran on the field, turned off the lights and introduced Yovani?
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
that would be too dramatic
I think I need a pie chart to determine how this would work out…
I just sit back and root for the taser
Mmmmm.... pie.

Just like warm... is that pumpkin?
If so, it’s very oddly colored…

Banana, maybe?
Some type of pudding-style pie, it would appear.

That would make sense
I have this weird notion that every pie must be pumpkin.

1 game
This is doable… if the Brewers made the playoffs it would be the biggest up and down in September ever… I don’t know if I could handle it if they did make it
I had just accepted they were in the playoffs when the collapsed… after the Cub meltdown last week, I accepted they were out of the playoffs… now if they are back in… wow, lot of work to do, need to take care of business against the Pirates, but talk of Gallardo gets me excited
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I still think we don't make the playoffs.
I’m a pessimist at heart. Especially when it comes to the Brewers.
Bye Ned!
I agree
I am not there yet… but if it is tied tomorrow when I go to bed… it will be hard not to imagine it happening
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
I need a two game lead or us on top at the end of the season.
Before I start thinking we’re going to the playoffs.
Bye Ned!
Very nice
You guys were pretty civil. See, it isn’t so bad. I’d love for the Brew Crew to get in, if only so I could see you guys beat the Phils.

Don't see how you could
Sabathia and Sheets on a day of rest in between games is intimidating as hell in the postseason. And the possibility Gallardo coming back? Oy vey.
Hell yeah
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
When is Sabathia's wife due again?
Isn’t it sometime in October?

I don't think Gallardo will start
I think for now they will save him to eat some innings if one of the starters goes down(Sheets) or implodes(Suppan), and in the playoffs they should just piggyback him with Sheets if his elbow isn’t feeling much better.

what's the source on Gallardo making a start?
I saw “rumors” referenced on another blog, but couldn’t find anything concrete. Would be pretty sick if Yo could take Suppan’s slot on Thursday, and Sheeter could go Friday.

I am a radio station switcher
Somewhere I heard them parsing some comment by Melvin and it did sound like they were leaving open that possibility. Plus they stretched him to 75 pitches or something like that.
McCalvy has mentioned it in two separate articles
that wasn’t the point I was trying to make, though. Just a kick-ass group of three pitchers.

This morning I heard Haudricourt discussing Suppan and he sounds pretty convinced that he is hiding an injury.
Speaking of injuries, in his blog he talks about a Braun cryptic answer that he interpreted as evidence that he is still not fully recovered from his rib injury. Makes me pissed all over at chucklehead Ned for taking him on that West coast trip.
Speaking of hiding an injury and Haudricourt...
… did Tom H. ever actually put in a print story that Braun admitted he was still hurting physically the other day? I saw it on his blog as an add on in irritated ALL CAPS because “so many people asked me about it”, but I didn’t see it in the articles he wrote for the following day. Can’t imagine why he wouldn’t want to lead with that, but maybe I just missed it.

Ok.
But reporters who hide injuries for the teams they cover and then act annoyed when they’re called on it, throw it in a late night blog entry only a couple hundered people will see, and then neglect to mention the situation in the published article, are douche bags.

Soup could be good as a pinch-hitter in sac-bunt situations.

So wrong…
When Marquis hit that Grand Slam, my first initial reaction was “God damnit.. Cubs take the lead”. It took me a few minutes to get my head screwed on right and realize it’s for the best.
I’m not going to drink the kool aid till we win 2 games in a row.
Great. Now I'm nauseous.

That's the spirit!
You’ll feel better in the morning. Besides, what difference does it make? Brewers win out, you’re in. Cubs will take one more from the Mets.

Saaaay
If we make the playoffs by edging out the Mutts for the wild card, would we be facing off against that Geoff Jenkins character in the first round?

It's a good thing we don't have to support the Royals for any reason
or this could be really embarrassing.

Really, given the fact that the Brewers are in the NL...
…and the fact that y’all have Braun and Fielder, I don’t know if Bonds would really have given you a whole lot of victory.
…oh. Not what you meant? Carry on, citizen!
Bonds could take a nap in the outfield and still give a team a lot of victory!
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Not to mention back acne.

Was somebody here looking for me?
If not, I’ll just go back to that “other” BCB…
Cubs Perspective
Much rather see the Brewers in the playoffs, dishing out some CC to those Phillies in the first round, and no question I want to sweep the Mets right out of stink-bomb Shea, but I gotta say it would be a much easier first round to face these sucky Mets.
by georgemitterwald on Sep 23, 2008 8:59 AM CDT reply actions
Yes,
that’s what I think…you disagree? I’m basing on the Mets a0re collapsing, bullpen in shambles, Billy Wagner out, & Marquis our #5 handled their hitters pretty easily. Seems like Dodgers top 2 starters are coming around, have 2 closers (kind of), and Manny. The Cubs should get through either one I guess.
I think these Brewer fans who have been all gloom & doom are in for a pleasant suprise as Brew-Crew takes wild card. Wouldn’t a tie and a 163rd game Monday be sweet though?
