MLB 2018 Season

Why didn't Rizzo let that ball go foul? That was for sure going foul.

Ditka is the seventh inning stretch guy. As a Brewers fan, that worries me.

Cubs bats are non-existent.  Couldn't disagree more with the commentators right there, you're hitless, Chacin throws 3 straight balls, you have Javy take on 3-0 and get a baserunner with Rizzo up.  They don't and he pops up ball 4.  He's a momentum hitter

Brewers bullpen gonna start in the 6th max, maybe the 5th.  This could easily be the final margin, maybe 2-0 Brewers.  Happy to be wrong, but when the Cubs start slow, its usually the theme, and a top 2 bullpen opposing them doesnt help.

Have the gamecast up at work. Why did Braun try to steal in that situation? Seems unnecessarily reckless when you're trying to build a lead.

Couple thoughts:

1) Thought the Cubs would let him take it to avoid the possibility of a run scoring on a double steal/error on throw;
2) Thought the Cubs would let him take it and walk Aguilar to put double play in place;
3) Thought the Cubs weren't paying attention because why would he steal to take the bat out of Aguilar's hands;
4) Get in scoring position so a hit scores two. 

No idea really, but not a terrible decision.

Cute that ESPN  put the hometown announcers on the mothership.

Congrats to the Brewers.  If Cubs win tomorrow, you have to beat them all over again starting Thursday.

Popped champagne in St. Louis last week, Chicago this week.  Milwaukee next week, let's gooooooo

That would be most excellent.  Because I sure as hell don't want to face Kershaw x2 in a 5 game series.

[Mr. Nielsen]

You can't really have a night game in this situation.  The loser of the game in LA has to fly, today, to either Chicago or Milwaukee for a game tomorrow.  Even if you start the game in LA at 5pm local time, it doesn't finish until (probably) 10:30pm central time, then the losing team has to get to the airport, fly, bus to hotel, etc.  That puts them at their final destination in the wee hours of the morning.  If you play the game in Chicago at night, then the west coast team has the same problem, waiting to see where to fly.  Maybe not ideal situation for fans who have to work, but it's the only way it can be done.

I agree with what you are saying with the case on hand. The schedule needs to be better to the start the year, were MLB rushes the postseason every stinking year. We play for over 6 sticking months to have two games during the workday is a joke for the league.

Hey Chicago what do you say, the Cubs are going to lose today!

whatever...wooooo!

[Dr. Blackheart]

Congrats to the Brew Crew.  Well earned finish to the year. Yeti without a doubt the MVP.

See you in MKE.

[Mr. Nielsen]

...wooooo!

Great day for the drummer boy!!

Congrats to the Brewers fans, excluding Wades, WithoutBias, and this turd.

Justin Wilson throwing an offspeed pitch to Arcia after making him look bad on two heaters was a truly bewildering decision.

[jsglow]

Great game. Great rivalry.  Nice little rest for the Crew. Big time stress for the Cubs.

It is such a rare occurrence.  I just don't think it's that big of a deal.

Aww, sad.

Who would've thought, the team with "nobody that's been there" and that "just folded down the stretch last season" (both fake news) would catch the almighty Cubs after being down 5 games to enter the final month of the regular season.

Give 'em a break wades.  They still have the after effects of playing through a hurricane.

Not me. Of course, I didn't say either of these things or that the Brewers didn't earn it.
