Man, Brewers fans are going to be so pissed when the Cubs soundly beat the Rockies tonight and then come back to win a tough 5 game series versus them in the NLDS. But hey, they got their tiebreaker moment at Wrigley so that's something.

 

Do we even have any Brewer fans here on the boards? I can't think of anyone who considers themselves a fan who posts here regularly.

 

On a second note, this NL playoff situation is kind of tough to read. I was thinking the Dodgers were going to come out of the weaker league again, but with the tightness between the two Central teams, I got a feeling whoever comes out of that series is going to take the series. Don't know why, cause I have limited knowledge on the Dodgers and their lineup, but it's just the feeling I get.

 

Eh. Go Astros I guess.

KDubK, NicDB, Sec19Row15 or whatever, half of Gothamite, and that one other guy. There used to be the CCSLC's answer to Rachel Dolezal, illwauk.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Ah yes, you're right. I have seen KDub and Section/Row/Seat posting things Wisconsin-centric before. 

 

That was also surprisingly thorough, so kudos to you for having the CCSLC rolodex on hand so readily.

There was also the vocally Jewish guy who displayed none of the endearing intellectualism or sexual neuroses of Woody Allen or Philip Roth (though I think he did refer to his dick as a "kosher sausage"), but he liked Atlanta teams too.

I'll pass on that creep. It wasn't him!

 

I can buy you saw this stat in another article, but Shaughnessy did site that stat in one of his most recent articles.

 

It’s just one of “only a person of this ilk would even think this” feel to it that gives it away. There’s fewer and fewer people out there like that these days.

 

People like Shaughnessy are dinosaurs in the sports journalism landscape. Everything about him and his writings just screams old. Not “old-school”. Just old as in no serious person besides him thinks this way anymore and hasn’t in quite some time.

Man, the cockiness I've seen out of so many fans of the Cubs who couldn't beat the Brewers at Wrigley on an off day for them (the Brewers) is really something.  Especially considering it wasn't so long ago their team was THE poster child for disappointment.  Nevermind that the Brewers just ripped off 8 straight wins to win a division they were 4 games back from at the start of the month.  

I'm not gonna county my chickens before they hatch and predict even a NLCS appearance, let alone a pennant or a championship.  But I can say without the least bit of hesitation that there's no other team I'd rather be rooting for going into the playoffs than Milwaukee.

I hear you and agree, but the blind squirrels find nuts sometimes, and we can separate trolling from justified trepidation. This Red Sox team has blown it in the playoffs twice before, and has a very iffy record against playoff teams this season, and the pitchers have nothing nice to hang their hats on. Maybe Cora managing and Martinez bashing will get them over the hump, maybe they'll return to a more positive mean, but I don't think bracing for a rough impact is out of nowhere in this case.

A few things: 

 

You’re dumb if you think Oakland is winning tomorrow night. 

 

 

Its going to be Dodgers vs Red Sox/Yankees and who in the world cares an ounce about that garbage?

If the Dodgers lose then it has some redeeming qualities.

Athletics vs Rockies.

MLB and FOX's worst nightmare.

Please let this happen. Great for the fans, awful for the league and the networks. We deserve some glorious schadenfreude.

Dude, this umpire is seriously giving the outside corner to the Cubs all game long. Lester has benefited from like four or five strike calls that should've been balls.

 

Also who is this younger Marlins man ripoff and why is he sitting next to a guy in a Red Sox jersey? I've also seen a Mariners jersey in the crowd. The hell is going on in Lakeview tonight?
