Congrats on cutting the lead to 3, idiot.

Oooooo dang all these Cubbies tough guys getting worked up.

3 games separating a "dynasty in the making" coming off of a WS championship and one of the worst teams in baseball last year a week into September in a season in which the Brewers were expected to be...15? games back at this point. And the big bad Cubbies being scared into making schedule changes multiple times...and then getting smoked up both times they have.

I'm not worked up in the least.  The Cubs have had a disappointing season and the Brewers have had a very nice season.

I just think you're an idiot.

Sounds like a guy who's worked up. Glad the Cubbies got their extra rest yesterday. It's paid off.

And I'm devastated. Absolutely devastated. That hurts a lot.

Especially with Nelson going down I still think the Brewers have an uphill battle.  But watching silent and early departing Cubs fans who paid $100+ for their seats at Wrigley......priceless.

No doubt. I have never felt the Brewers were going to make the postseason this year, and still do not at all. Which is why it's even more enjoyable to watch Maddon get all squirmy about the Brewers. The Brewers are a year ahead of where I thought they would be. I thought next year the Brewers would end the season right around .500. I didn't think there was any chance of that this year, and I certainly didn't expect to be within striking distance of the division in September. This has been one of the more enjoyable seasons as a Brewers fan. No expectations but have, for the most part, played some good ball and hung around.

Yep. Playing with house money. Didn't expect to have a winning record this season. Instead we are playing meaningful baseball in September. Unless we finish on a double digit losing streak (knock on wood) I will walk away happy with the season....though I won't be satisfied unless we're playing in October!

There are 15 games left where the Cardinals/Brewers/Cubs play each other this season. Going to be some really enjoyable baseball left to watch.

Half your payroll. That the bar you're measuring this team against during its "dynasty years"?

That was superbly played.

Who's poster with the DirectTV ties?

I don't watch the NFL, but really enjoy MLB Extra Innings and use it to monitor my fantasy baseball team.

I have four starting pitchers going today, but can't watch the split screens of MLB games because it's an NFL Sunday.  I have 2 million channels, why the hell can't they show them both?

This for PTM, and PTM only. Go Brewers

I've been looking for that!

What the hell LA? You couldn't win 1 out of 4 games at home against the Rockies? I have never seen the wheels come off so fast for such a dominate team.

Hopefully the D-Backs are motivated to keep their division rival out the playoffs. The Cubs are going to need that spot when they lose the division lead

Things just got mighty interesting in the NL Central. Had the Cubs swept, the race would have been over. Instead, for a non-partisan baseball fan like me, it should be fun!

Now it's up to the Brewers and Cardinals to take care of business by beating crappy teams so the race is close when they play each other and the Cubbies. Can't afford getting swept by the likes of Cincinnati anymore.

Exactly right.  The Crew especially needs to beat the teams who are simply waiting to hit the golf course.  Focus guys.  There's a chance.

With the Rockies not letting up against the Dodgers, it's shaping up that the three-way race between the Brewers, Cardinals and Cubs will be one where there are no points for second place.

If the Cardinals and Brewers can catch the Cubs they can catch the Rockies as well.  There's only 1 extra game separating the Cardinals and Brewers from the Rockies than there is separating them from the Cubs.

Well, the one difference is the head to head games.  The Cards have 7 games remaining with the Cubs.  The Brewers have 4.  The Cards and Brewers play 3 for the final series of the season.  Neither team plays the Rockies.  So, they have a degree more control of their own fates against the Cubs than the Rockies.

The Crew needs to be able to beat crappy teams.

I believe they were 10-3 vs. the Nats, Dodgers, Cubs, and Cards. It is the lousy teams that are the problem.
