Yeah I was hoping the Cubs would try for him too, Theo may of but Hamels is working out great. I do think deGrom should win Cy Young. Had the Cards got deGrom you guys would be real scary! You already are as it is.

I know they didn't jump in to FA much , however they had their eyes set on some coming out this off season. They have the money to lure what they want.

Good morning, gentlemen. Looks like I have a lot of posts to catch up with. How are you doing? Hope you have a pleasant weekend.

Yeah I see the Cubs and Cards being Good again next season. They have great Front offices. Brewers will be too if they don't lose any key players.

Reading on other websites, Brewers fans thought for sure they were going to land deGrom. So glad that didn't happen. Imagine if they had deGrom? They would go from pesky to making me do this 

 

I had read that it was Zach Wheeler that the Brewers were trying to trade for. He has pitched very well the last two months. His ERA has to be around 2.50 or less since July.

There was a major system coming from the west merging with the remainder of the tropical storm from the gulf to fuel all this.

I find it amazing we are even discussing this , with the Wacha and Martinez on DL for so long. Wacha was on his way to a career year.

I tell you right now...this Cardinal team reminds me of the Cubs like 3 years ago when they upset the Cardinals and made it to the NLCS. I could easily see the Cards get revenge to the Cubs this year....you are a very dangerous team...the one I least want to play in the playoffs.

Yes they are Ozuna has caught fire a big plus , doing what they brought him in to do. We have to make it before you worry to much lol , and the Cubs are playing well also.

No worries she has been going twice a month. She just cant see to drive. So I am literally her eyes anywhere but inside our home. For those who did not know she recently lost her sight so its been an adjustment.

Sorry about that Jay, I think you may have told me a few weeks ago, anyway that is rough especially with you working alot too.  

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs did get rained out, they play a double header on Saturday with game 1 at 3 pm. Brewers won tonight so they move to 4 out in the NL Central, Cards surprisingly lost to the Tigers, they are now 5.5 back. Hamels pitches in game 2 on Saturday, so at worse we should split the 2 games.

Sorry to hear that bud, has to be rough.  I’m sure she is very greatful to have you there for her to help her through this. Life can definitely throw you a curveball from time to time. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Nats won the 1st game of the double header 10-3 but Cubs now lead 4-0 in game 2/4th Inning, Caratini just hit a GrandSlam! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs up 4-1 to the Top of the 6th. Hamels is rolling in the night cap. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs down 6-5 now, BullPen couldn't hold it down for Hamels. The Cubs have 2 Innings to rally or they will lose both games.

[HOZER]

Ugh.

Yeah that wasn't a good day, got swept in the doubleheader. Brewers are now only 2.5 back in the NL Central. Cards are still 5 back though as they have lost 2 in a row to the Tigers. Cubs have 1 more with the Nats today, then a huge 3 game series with the Brewers starting tomorrow in Wrigley. The series against the Brewers will show us alot.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs/Brewers 2-2 through 5 Innings.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lose 3-2, Brewers now just 1 game out. Cards won as well so they are now just 3.5 back in the NL Central. Things are getting tight now.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lead the Brewers 3-0 to the Bottom of the 8th we go.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs win Cubs win 3-0! Man was that a huge one! Cubs now 84-60 on the season and the Brewers fall to 83-63. Cubs back up 2 games in the NL Central for now. Fly the Flag Hozer.

[HOZER]

[2006Coltsbestever]

It was simply time to separate the men from the boys and the Cubs did that tonight. The Brewers and their fans were getting a bit big headed so it was time to the shut them up for a night. Big rubber game tomorrow night. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs are down 2-1 in the Top of the 6th to the Brewers. The Cardinals lost to the Pirates 4-3 so even if the Cubs lose they will remain 3.5 ahead of the Cards in the NL Central. With a win tonight, the Brewers will only be 1 game out in the NL Central. Still 2 back in the loss column. If the Cubs comeback and win, they will be 3 ahead of the Brewers and 4.5 ahead of the Cards. After tonight the Cubs and Brewers have no more games left vs each other.

Yeah we got 2 Innings to get it done. This is looking shaky.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brewers won 5-1. Only positive to take from this is, we still have a 1 game lead in the Division and 2 ahead in the loss column. We won the season series 11-7, I am not sure how tiebreakers work in the MLB regarding the Division. If anyone knows please Post. I have tried looking it up and still can't find a clear answer. So not sure what would happen if the Cubs and Brewers end up with the same record?  The Cardinals remain 3.5 games back in the NL Central so we have breathing room there anyway.

One-game tiebreakers are played between teams tied for a division championship or a league's second wildcard berth. These games are to be played the day after the season is scheduled to end.

So I guess winning the season series means nothing  . I would at least think if it comes to that, the game would be at Wrigley because we won the season series.

I think that is right. To determine seeding, the team with the better record head to head is awarded the higher seed and therefore the game would be played in the higher seeded team's home ballpark.
