Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Two Thread

[markedman5]

Brewers didn’t score in the last 4 innings…….does this mean the Cubs have momentum now? 
 

Or was that just in the last game? 😎

I also enjoyed the fact that a Cubs fan thread broke out the "too high" quote from Major League on Vaughn's HR:

 

 

Best quote I saw called Miz a “Giraffey Bastard”.

That was fun. Let's do it again.

9 more to go...

Let's give Murph some credit where credit is due.

Use the bullpen for a home game, save Priester for Chicago where his tendency to get ground balls can take the wind out of the equation.

Dude first row behind the plate was yapping up that blonde the entire last inning. Like there wasn't a game happening.

Playing chess, not checkers....several key cub pen arms havent yet pitched  because of that - they'll be rusty Wednesday in wrigley

When they're down 8?

 

Fine with me I guess.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Priester for game 3 with probably everyone but Miz available in the pen...maybe give Ashby an extra day and have Gasser ready?

 

Cubs have to be starting Taillon Tuesday, right?  And half their key relievers havent even pitched yet this series.

Ok, this was a laugh out loud post for sure!

Yes I have been hard on him but he played this well

How about Murphy man... hitting all the right buttons except for Ashby's 1st inning.

Murphy knows a blow up first inning from Ashby against the Cubs is the best possible outcome.

Priester and Quintana both available for game 3 now

[RobertCrawley]

I can't wait to hear who the cubs have to be happy where they are right now.

They do still have the regular season tiebreaker, so there's that, too.

Great win.   Tonight’s the night to celebrate.    We can debate what Murphy did tomorrow.   I have good and bad thoughts about it

but who cares for tonight.   Up 2-0

The Cubs looked absolutely lifeless after the first inning.  Like they looked completely defeated after the first inning.  

Hopefully the Brewers can continue to put the pressure on the Cubs like they have and wrap this up on Wednesday.

Cubs setting records

Feels like we’re living in a dream. I never want this season to end. With any luck we can ride it for a few more weeks.

I mean, to get beat in a bullpen game. How demoralizing.

[ToolShed55]

Welcome to the "I wouldn't have done that" game thread on Brewerfan.

I've no idea if the alternative would have worked, but what the Brewers did got us the win. That's all that matters. 

Go Brewers. Send the fibs home early on Wednesday!

Exact same thing happened to them Saturday.  It's just poetic.

A little more of Gomer Pile, IMO.  😉
