Wait a minute. Do we really gain a game even if the Cubs won and pulled ahead of the Cardinals for second place?

[rickh150]

No, I would think…

[Brewcrew82]

It's technically 21 because we own both tiebreakers.

The Cubs remaining schedule is among the lightest, easiest schedules you will see for the last 30 games of a season. Counsell excels in September I could see them winning 19 or 20 games yet.

Brewers have 31 games left.  If they go 15-16 they get to 90 wins, Cubs have 29 games left so they would need to go 24-5 to finish ahead of the Brewers.

Posting the back of the card as well with this one, since it's a cool little write-up.

 Maybe the ultimate Brewer next to Yount..…maybe.

The cubs still have 9 games against the Yanks, Dodgers and Phillies so its not like every game is against the white sox.  Even if the Cubs go 20-10 the Brewers only have to go 11-19 to win the division.  It's over.

Actually will want Cubs to beat Dodgers and Phillies for us 😂

30 games left but I sure don't want the Brewers to be going into the playoffs playing like crap.  I believe we can add a pitcher Sept 1st which we need very much at this point. It's time to turn it up a notch and have confidence not push in the clutch and coast into the playoffs.

#20 features "Stormy" Weathers' 2nd go-round with the 2009 Brewers to finish off his career. Weathers was a solid middle-to-back-end relief option for a few teams over his long run.

Great pull. Easily one of the top 5 players to ever wear #19 for the Brewers.

I know I love the obscure Brewers, but #19 can be no other than this man.

Looking at bWAR, he's in the top 1 to wear 19 for the majority of his career in all of baseball history.

I stand by my joke.

Brewers magic number is 19 to win the central Division. 

Brewers wins and Cubs losses.
