Good to see Chipper and McCann back in there. Go get em Bravos!

[datrain711]

Hopefully the Braves can get one out of the two and the marlins make it 2 in a row

[sgtcluels]

Game one of Cubs / Braves day night is on WGN.

[sheethead]

0R 1H 1st for Cubs. Keep the zeros coming please, Morton.

[B2k1121]

Well so much for game 1.

[sheethead]

Walks are no good, 2-0 Cubs and probably ballgame.

[sargennm]

Jim Edmonds? What deal with the devil did that guy make?

[B2k1121]

We can thank the Fathers for dropping Jim Edmonds.

[datrain711]

man morton looked awful. this will be very tough for the braves to win.

[Glennron]

The Braves bullpen must hate Charlie Morton. Lasts 2 1/3 innings, only 15 2/3 more innings of pitching to go! Hopefully Campillo goes 8 or something.

[fondybrewfan]

Well they got a run, that is progress I suppose. And Marquis has also thrown a ton of pitches: 72 through 4 1/3

[eanelson4]

Jason Marquis = Ace

 

at least thats how the Braves make him look.

 

EDIT: AND Cox gets ejected, who would have thought. What was he arguing? Was it a legit. argument?

[datrain711]

there was an issue with the braves having the lights turned on while they were hitting, which isn't allowed. between innings, Cox was yelling about the delay and got tossed.

 

This game is turning into a laugher http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

If you're bored with the Cubs game, check out Matt LaPorta and team USA take on South Korea. They are currently losing 4-6 in the 8th inning. Not a good start so far.

 

I'm guessing it's previously recorded.

[brewcrew00]

Yes the game is previously recorded to my knowledge, I'd steer clear of national sports websites if you want to avoid the result...

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

Speaking of team USA, their closer blew the lead in the bottom of the 9th. Why would you take a AAA closer out of the Indians organization?

[wibadgers23]

The Brewers couldn't do diddly poo against Campillo. The Cubs have already scored 4 runs through one inning against him. Thanks a lot Atlanta.

[Ranier]

The Cubs are really hot right now. Both them and the Brewers are sort of separating themselves.

[2008 world champs]

The fact that this is 2008 and there is a wild card is making me more at ease and less tense with the team at the time. I really do think barring a injury not Brauns little hiccup either (knock on wood) this team is too good to miss the playoffs. A little help from the Cubs would be nice though.

Just enjoy the run to the playoffs. Divsion...wild card, they mean nothing. Sure the extra home game is nice, but how many WC teams have advanced to the WS this decade? I think we are all sailing towards a Cubs/Brewers NLCS, one which will be extremely extremely enjoyable.

And just think, if there was a Cubs/Brewers NLCS and the Brewers won, you can basically shut up every Cubs fan that comes to Miller Park next year http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[SeriesFinale]

With CC on the mound tonight it would've been nice for Atlanta to take at least one today, but counting on sub-.500 teams to do your dirty work is a fool's errand.

[valpocrewsader]

C'mon. The banner you get to hang in your park. Bragging rights. The historic FACT that you took the division instead of some cheesey best-of-the-rest distinction.

 

And just think, if there was a Cubs/Brewers NLCS and the Brewers won, you can basically shut up every Cubs fan that comes to Miller Park next year

And if we lose, which is every bit as likely if not more likely, there's your second devastating kick straight to the crotch.

 

 

Stupid Braves, thanks for nothing.

I see your point, but I think the Marlins could care less that they've never won the NL East. They are happy with their 2 championships

Absolutely. Beggers can't be choosers and every Brewers fan should be begging for the playoffs at this point. Obviously the division is better than the wildcard but if we win the wildcard will you hear me complain one bit? Nope.
