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. 

Let’s just get one more win here first

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.  

That Vaughn homer was a killer for them

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

but who cares for tonight.   Up 2-0

If you told me we gave up 3 total runs in a bullpen game and got 3 innings out of Miz I would be over the moon. 
 

Just don’t tell me any other details.

I'm not greedy... just 9 more wins this year is all I need.

When he is pitching like that, Uribe is just unfair. That ninth was something.

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.

I think the ONLY move he made that I would have... was bringing Koenig back out to face Tucker in the 8th... and even that wasn't a huge edge given his splits. 

But now Patrick is still available for innings, Miz has some confidence... just an incredible game and Murph deserves all the credit.

 

Vaughn deserves some as well. The playoffs are SO much tougher the later you go without scoring, so coming back and putting runs on the board in the 1st was massive.

" No Cubs No No Cubs Nooo , Hey Chicago what do you sayy you only scored 3 runs todayyy"

" Craig is rubbing his head cause he did what the analytics said "

[RobertCrawley]

Nice to have an all time great like Pedro Martinez pulling for us on tv.

[Fear The Chorizo]

There's this vibe of "no matter what we do, they are going to wind up finding a way to one-up us" coming from the Cubs dugout.

It's glorious

[willie key]

I can’t believe Miz went three shutout innings

[Joseph Zarr]

Well, shoot. That game was incredible. The homers were obviously wunderbar but that game was entirely about Miz, Patrick, and Abner for me. Man alive if they continue to pitch like that?

Murph and Hook know things.

Uribe has been so clutch.

He's fighting traffic going back to Bucktown.

They do, Henderson... Murphy clearly trusts them... and how many guys on down the line are responsible for getting these guys up here and helping them figure it out.... 

[Fear The Chorizo]

TV execs dont want it because its Milwaukee, but this team has so much going for it in terms of young and exciting players contributing everywhere on this roster, plus some veteran star power.

 

Chourio would already be in the HOF if he was doing this as a 21 yr old Yankee or Dodger in the playoffs.  And Miz coming out throwing 103-104?

 

 

[willie key]

Just do me a favor and trust Priester for godsakes next game.    Don’t start Quintana

Quick look at weather apps shows predicted weather for Wednesday early evening in Chicago is Upper-50s with winds from the NE around 10mph. So if that holds, it should be the wind blowing in from CF at Wrigley. Get Priester and the ground balls along with some help on anything up in the air.

Let's gooooo!!!!!!
