Got to bury the cubs though when you can.   We have let them hang around too much 

The Brewers have the best record in baseball by 4.5 games, the Cubs are tied for the fifth best record in baseball and are 6.0 games back.  In any other division they'd either be leading, tied for first or within a game of first.  But yeah, we're letting them hang around.

So, what you meant to say is that there is a poster who said the Cubs are going to “blow right by” the Brewers and there is at least one different poster who said the Brewers suck.

I really can’t remember anyone flatly saying for quite some time that  the Brewers suck.  

Let’s just end this here because it’s ******* stupid.    I think I said “we auck” when they were in the middle of blowing two straight 6 run leads back to back.   It was an off the cuff remark and people lost their minds

I wouldn’t even respond to that clown he won’t be around if the brewers lose anyways.

When you’ve won one out of your last five series when the cubs just want to give it to you.   Yeah you’ve let them hang around     We had a nine game lead two weeks ago.

When I put up quotes, that is the exact quote. It was said. 

Need a link or it didn't happen.

Your quotes mean nothing without the post that you are quoting.

Look at what you post in game threads about the team that has the best record in baseball and I am the clown?

Win tonight and I’m about ready to call the division over.

If the Cubs were in last place I'd still want them to lose. ☺️

I hope they don't even get a wild card.

It’s telling that you seem giddy at the possibility of showing up if the Brewers lose in the playoffs ( a likely outcome for every team) to tell people how right you were.

So strange to be a fan of the team and be so consistently negative in a year where even non brewers fans are amazed and in awe over the season they’ve had.

You seem to get no enjoyment out of your fandom…….I'm amazed you keep putting yourself through it season after season.

Yes, and we play our backups with the best record in baseball up by 4 1/2 games. Were just pushing in the clutch ready to shift gears into over drive. 

[Brian]

Heard teams are contacting the Brewers already for Rhys Hoskins, 2026 I'm guessing.

Good point. I have no actual data to back this up, however I gotta believe Murphy rotates position players more than any winning team in baseball.

I want to believe Vaughn is the answer next year however his lack of power the last month is concerning. He is still hitting the ball hard just not the launch angle.

That could be why were winning, instead of giving a big name player a starting position regardless of how they preform.  Hmmm Rhys Hoskins? Everyone on the bubble with Murphy LOL.

Sal is a terrific delivery man ... he delivers, often.

Domino's should run with that also.  

[HarryDoyle]

Nice to start out the game 0-3 with RISP.

[kevinisaname]

I miss the clutch offense. They're going through a bit of a funk right now.

The Brewers are funkey!

Fun is the key!

[treego14]

Wood is prone to giving up some bombs or near bombs too much for my comfort!

I love his pitching style, though!

5 or 6 runs should hopefully do it today. 

[trwi7]

Yeah Brian, real vote of confidence that Yelich was able to walk to the ballpark today.

[Brian]

Woody lost weight also. 

[adambr2]

Going to be pretty easy to get Rhys back in the lineup if Vaughn keeps swinging like that.

LOL, Yelich probably had to walk a block or two and stopped at the deli on the way. 

[HarryDoyle]

I hope the offense can figure out how to score runs without the help of defensive miscues before the playoffs start.

[AKCheesehead]

Le's see what the top of the order can do this time around.  Hopefully something good!
