3 vs the Brewers at Wrigley.

Brewers stock going up while the Cubs stock going down.

Cubs probably dead tired after this road trip. No real days off. The day they were supposed to get off they have to fly to DC.

2 games up only.

Cubs need to win 2/3.

They SHOULD take at least 2, if not sweep with who is pitching.

Looks like now only one day off the rest of September. Who knows maybe that will be needed for a future rainout? Interesting If Joe does his stubborn 5-6 pitchers bullpenning a game thing or can adjust to the circumstances at hand.

Hopefully they are mad ass hell and come out and eviscerate the crew. I think they will get out of the Thursday game. I'm sure Theo and Ricketts are raising hell right now and with the impending Hurricane that is supposed to be crushing that area thursday they can come to their senses and back this off to the end of the season.

Then they get to go back out to Washington on what was supposed to have been their first off-day since ... I don't know ... May?

If the Cubs step up and do their job, they could give the Brewers the kill shot. A sweep probably puts it away, IF they actually show up for 3 games.

Wade Miley vs Jon Lester

Jhoulys Chacin vs Jose Quintana

Chase Anderson vs Kyle Hendricks



I dont think the pitching lines up especially well for the Cubs. They get Brewers 1-2 and dont have Hamels going.

Lester in trouble right away .

Dude is poop lately.

Can’t believe we’re going to look at the wild card standings rest of the way

That Bears game has left a bitter sports taste in my mouth. I might have to turn to watching Pro Wrasslin' full time. I choose not to watch this Cub team flounder and choke away a division lead.

if Hader isn't pitching the 9th that's the only shot the cubs may have tonight.

Hader's K'd every player he's faced tonight.

whenever i see this guy take the mound he's either blowing a lead or giving up the lead.

Hader out. If Knebel is closing the cubs have a shot IF the pen can hold it to one run.

it'll be Jefferes.

last chance to save the season.

Joe was right about Almora. fucking useless.

come on tommy just a hit here to tie.

L

i really didn't think it'd come down to the brewers. matthew modine has his club rolling.

got to give joe credit. he did it with smoke and mirrors all the way w/ all these injuries but now they're done.

bullpen is shot, can't throw a strike. Cant rely on anyone in the bullpen.

lineup is half way useless :

happ
almora
russell
willie (until tonight)

Wade Miley shuts them down again, pathetic. I'm not sure how this team wins the division. They don't have it in them to play good baseball for 3 weeks. Next 2 are must wins, especially with the game Thursday, if played, looking like a loss. Lots of changes should be coming, if they don't make it to the World Series. This season was World Series or bust, after the excuses from last year.

oh shut up.

they only need to win one of 3.

They are 2 ahead in the loss column and own the tiebreaker.

i.e., 3 ahead in the loss column.

Cubs will win division easily

agreed but it is ridiculous that it the division is still in question. The Brewers are not in the same class as the Cubs.

Not sure what Russell is doing in the lineup last night.

It's a lost year for him, 2 whiffs last night.

If you want to bring him in to play SS with a late lead and shift Javy to 2b for Murphy, great, but at this point Javy is your starting SS, Murphy at 2B, and Bryant at 3B.

Zo/Happ/Schwarber/Almora can split up the OF.

Lol, to think it's a lock that the Cubs win the division is ridiculous at this point. To say winning 1 of 3 is good, is also ridiculous and fucking dumb. They still have 3 against Arizona, which could be ugly. They may have to deal with this makeup game Thursday. They better handle their business and sweep the Reds and White Sox.
