Honestly, just take one game this series and the Cubs are in a tough spot, 6 back with only 3 left against us. 

Of course, that should not be the goal, especially when we still need to worry about positioning versus the Dodgers and/or Braves.

Don't want to put too much into one start, but I'll be watching Harrison closely tonight. I want to see how he responds to playoff-like pressure. 

If you can get this first one the pressure on them just gets bigger.

I don't see the Cubs taking the division even if they were to sweep this series, which I don't think they will. Issue with dropping 3/4 is more about the seeds at this point than the division. You want one of those byes and ATL and LAD are just not fading. Doesn't seem to be a big difference between 1 or 2 though. The current "reward" for the 1 seed is PHL/CHC. Yay.

Hate fixed bracketing though. Makes no sense to me that if AZ were to beat LA (lol), that we aren't playing the Dbacks.

I am interested to see how our offense looks in a playoff atmosphere against a quality starter. We have been building momentum with the lumber and this could be a big momentum swing if things go really good.

If there is a sweep this series, it's gunna be a Brewers sweep. Book it.

Facing Harrison, Gasser, and Miz looks like a Golden Sombrero for PCA tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday (Couns will probabaly give him a mental break Thursday night). Maybe he scratches out an infield single at some point. Fly the L, Chicago. Good luck next season. Go find an Old Style to cry into and go root for the Gary Bears.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Win at least one of these 1st two games with Miz and Henderson wrapping up the series and really put the screws to these clowns...Cubs are as close to falling completely out of the playoffs as they are to overtaking the Brewers at this point.

Forecast looks to have Wrigley Field playing like a little league diamond - hot and winds mainly out of the southwest (straight out)....get the bats going early and keep tacking on.

[long ball]

Holmes is probably the Cubs best SP. so pitching matchup, this is probably the toughest one. Getting this game would help calm my nerves a little even though it’s pretty irrational to be worried about the cubs at this point.

A win today and we enter September with a Magic number already in the mid teens.

Winning 1 in this series should put the division away. 
 

The race to lock down a bye will be the focus in September, and unfortunately the Dodgers only have 3 games remaining against teams with a winning record (Padres at home). Braves have 7 against the Phillies, 3 at Wrigley, 3 vs Rays and 3 at Houston.
