My concern for the Sox is they've won too much over the last week and a half.

So he's a top 35 player in the league? I'll take that in a second.

Statistically he is right now, so long as you don't consider pitchers players.

This is either the worst or best thread on Scoop.

I can now officially confirm that it is the worst.

I seem to think you meant to say most exciting. The political board has nothing on this.

Sorry, let me rephrase my snarky comment,

So other than the bullpen being overworked and wilting as the season wears on, 1 starter being injured and ineffective, another not knowing the K-zone, a power hitter with less power and a super streaky 2B that has no K-zone judgement at all, you aren't concerned.

Got it.

There, that better?

A streaky player? In baseball? A game defined by streaks? Surely not.

Well that was a strong showing by the cubs bats today.

How am I dodging the question? The Cubs are ahead of the Brewers in the loss column which means they control their own destiny. I don't care about games back. I care about fewer losses.

The Brewers could win out but it wouldn't matter if the Cubs win out.

How's that loss column lookin' now, bird-man?

Yup. Seems like they all get cold at the same time or all get hot at the same time. Need to balance those streaks haha.

They are tied.

And again, I'm not the one who brought up the standings in June. I was answering a question I was asked.

can we do a wellness check on warriordad? don’t want to put words in his mouth but my guess based on his over excitement of the cubs, the overwhelming favorite in the division, closing the gap in june on the brewers, to him this series was the dagger on the season.

Except you didn't answer the question you were asked. You were asked if you'd like to trade places with the Cardinals so that you could have the better head to head record. Your answer was you'd rather have the better loss column...

Thank God the Cubbies still control their own destiny though. One of the few teams in baseball who can say that with 100+ games to play.

Nice response by the Brewers.

Very frustrating to lose a game 1-0 after another nice start by Montgomery.

Not even pinch-hitting Bryant in spite of recent slump is a bit questionable.

Obviously I would take the better record.

Now that the Cubs and Brewers are tied in the loss column I would take the Brewers record. When the question was asked this morning I would take the Cubs record.

Agreed. Would have pinch hit Bryant for Gimenez. Especially since Contreras was in the game.

That 8th inning maneuvering by Maddon was awesome. I love that kinda sh*t.

Fair enough. My point all along was I'm not really sure Brewers fans were "hanging their hat" on anything. They brought up a great play by Cain and Yelich, nothing more, nothing less. Just like the Cubs fans did a few days earlier.

He's done that a few times. My favorite was when Travis Wood got a ball hit to him in left field.

And I'm just messing with you.

Though, I think the Brewers are in the heads of the Cubs now. LOL.

He’s probably more concerned with the Angels.

I like it too but Uecker raised a good question. Warm-up pitches? You'd think the rulebook would preclude. If silent it probably shouldn't be. I mean we have exactly the opposite when a pitcher gets injured and the replacement gets as much as he needs.

Anyway, helluva series. Two good clubs.

That is freakin' awesome. What's the backstory? The Crew Chief did a helluva job.

EDIT: I looked it up. It was retaliation for the Chase Utley slide in the 2015 playoffs. This was the following May.

It's our new meme for the year. Absolutely fabulous.
