2017-09-22: Cubs (Lackey) at Brewers (Woodruff) 6:35 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4, 10 innings]

[mtrebs]

Good thing we hit 81 wins already. I can see this starting a losing streak.

 

How are you going to spend your October? Cheering on the Cubs I hope!

 

I'd rather hang out with ISIS.

It's bad how predictable this has gotten. We can pretty much call our shot at home in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th, that we will in fact not walk off in the 9th, then give up the lead in the 10th and lose.

It is bad. Not only can you virtually guarantee such a result, but the same is true when losing going into the 9th inning. The near-complete inability to pull out wins is shocking for a major league team.

I was at the game, but a buddy told me sogard was pushed off the base. Is that true?

[tmwiese55]

North burbs people have an easier drive to mke than wrigley too. It is what it is, nothing can be done while the Cubs are good. The only example I remember is when we were good and the Cubs were tanking I was at games at wrigley that were majority Brewers fans. It happened. We bought like 8th row behind a dugout for like 30 bucks too. Granted, most of these diehards weren't even fans 3 years ago so it's a bit different now

Nah nothing to complain about. Nothing close to that one villar had at third vs the cards a few weeks ago that was blatant

[Bombers]

I was at the game, but a buddy told me sogard was pushed off the base. Is that true?

No - he just slid hard and when he exchanged hand to foot on base he popped off

[trwi7]

There have been times when a player has been pushed off the base. This was not one of those times. He was almost able to keep his hand or foot on the base without leaving but he was off for a split second with the tag applied.

[young guns]

I firmly believe the tag forced his hand off, however it was just a normal tag, nothing like a carpenter tag, so it falls in the category of what can you do.

[KeithStone53151]

I Have an inside connection and was told apparently "guests" of the umpires were wearing cubs gear tonight. Why am I not surprised. This **** is rigged without question

[brewmann04]

Until this team find ways to win these type of games they will never see the playoffs. You lose in these big games when it's all on the line.

[brewmann04]

Losing streak to 3 games in the worst time to bad we couldn't shift these games to wriggly where we seem to do much better. The brewers just can't win when it counts

If this is true, someone needs to dig deeper and find out more information and get to the bottom of any connection this may have with the outcome of games.

I have a friend that works the games and this person wouldn't lie about it. Was seen firsthand.

I believe you. Did they take some photos? If so they should bring it to a journalist at a newspaper.

[pacopete4]

Rockies win. Now 2 GB of the WC. Crap.

Is this what we are resorting to now? Cripes. Season must be over.

[KeithStone53151]

I'm gong to follow up with my season seat rep tomorrow, as I'm a ssh. Since I have no proof I highly doubt anything comes of it. But I'm going to try.

We? I don't work for the Brewers. I said games because if something is happening at one game that doesn't add up, it probably is at other games too. More of a MLB issue than just a Brewer issue.

[Pugger]

No thank you. My brother lives in DC so I'll cheer for the Nats.

[Pugger]

It's pathetically embarrassing how loud it is for the Cubs in our own stadium. It can't possible be that drastic of a home environment anywhere else in the majors.

Accounts from Washington was that the Phillies fans would attend in droves during their good run about a decade ago. But that's about the closest recent example. Maybe being in a different league and division than the Cubs wasn't so bad.

 

The Marlins and the Rays have the similar issues down here.

[Pugger]

I hope our guys were paying attention. It is remarkable what can happen when put the ball in play instead of trying to hit a HR every time.

[Pugger]

This is probably just as well. Even if we got in what good would it do? This bunch is full of promise but not really ready for post season play.

Um, so what?

Umps get tickets. They give the tickets to friends, who happen to be Cubs fans.

 

What is the big deal?

 

Absolutely hilarious.

[jerichoholicninja]

Glad I forced myself not to watch this last night. Even better that MLB App stopped working mid game and I had no clue what was going on. Really looking forward to the Cardinals winning the final Wild Card when we finish the season there. Will be a fitting end.
