Brewers-Cubs NLDS Game Five Thread - 10/11/2025 @ 7:08PM - For those Assuming a WIN!

[edfunderburk]

IF we win tonight & send Coun$ell & his Cubbies home with a loss - the 2025 season is a GREAT success … no matter what happens in the NLCS or World Series (should we get there)

[Jimbo]

The only thing giving me comfort right now is that Poto has MIL -148/CHC +123.  Basically a 57/43 proposition.  These are the people that should know.

About to get the oven ready for a pizza and sit down nervously for three hours.  If the Brewers are behind mid-9th, I may not watch the end, even if a walk-off is possible.

Well, so glad I bothered to turn on pregame on TBS.  It’s 90% Cubs talk.

Thank god for unplugging my center speaker and putting Brewers radio on a Bluetooth speaker!

[edfunderburk]

I hope the Brewers show up tonight more so than the Badgers did against Iowa. It’s already 17-0 in the first quarter. I can’t imagine that Fickell survives the season … Jim Leonhard would have been the better choice for sure.

Well, at least I don't have to pay attention to the Badgers game as well since we're already down 17-0. Let's go, Brewers! I'm a little worried about Megill since I don't think he's had as much bite on his knuckle curve, but we shall see.

Unfortunately sharp money is coming in on the cubs, as the brewers moneyline is now only -136

Actually, it's time for a WS win.

If this isn't the year, (then when) ??

There's only 4 other teams with NO WS Win

I would agree if we had healthy starters

I agree that winning the World Series would be ideal & it is past time for a ring … but I don’t see this group of pitchers getting past LA

[RobertCrawley]

Turang needs to get the bat on the ball tonight.

[tomoohka]

I am a bundle of nerves, let's do this thing. 

[Turning2]

You secured home field advantage for a reason. Make it count! 

[craigharmann]

I’m so nervous for this game. Let’s get 6 on the board in the first and settle the anxiety!

[RobertCrawley]

Ok. I'm watching with the sound off. Let me know if Darling stops smooching the cubs.

[Gump]

Man…my blood pressure is sky high right now. Ready to do this!!!!! Let’s go!!!

[Brewluver]

It's fun to be nervous.

After an incredibly long season, it's "Loser Goes Home".

That sounds so Final.

5 minutes til kick-off

[RobertCrawley]

Just from the camera shots, it looks like Brewer fans outnumber cub fans by a lot.

[82brewcrew82]

There's an accomplishment.
