  1. Yeah, he's terrible. 47 HR, and 121 RBI and 97 runs scored? Most HR in baseball since 2015 All Star break. Just awful. You guys are unreal. I just threw that out there to get a reaction and sure enough. Of course it's going to get a reaction. The suggestion was way out there. I appreciate you manning up and admitting that you are trolling the board, though.
  2. Wow ... good win. Way more dramatic than I wanted, but it's a W. Keeps the pressure on the Cubs, with the Cards ace going tomorrow. 93 wins!
  3. LOL, if St. Louis wins out, there's a solid chance the Brewers are not in the Wild Card game
  4. I don't worry about that because I don't think it has really ever happened before.
  5. LOL, that would be so ironic considering how things with down between him and Alderson with the botched Gomez trade. Melvin takes over the Mets, and immediately trades Wheeler and Flores to the Brewers for "past considerations".
  6. Regardless of what happens this weekend, we're going to have playoff baseball in October. In Milwaukee! If the Brewers manage to pull out the division, that is gravy.
  7. Well, we surely did give up some big pieces to form our current roster, that is for sure. Is our farm "gutted?" That remains to be seen. Isan Diaz, Monte Harrison, Gilbert Lara, Kodi Medeiros, Demi Orimoloye, Jorge Lopez, Brett Phillips, Jean Carmona, and Luis Ortiz. There are a bunch of top prospects in that group. Those aren't a bunch of names that didn't hurt... I just hope that the end result was worth it. While the ultimate goal is a World Series, a sub-goal (I guess) is making the playoffs. This team did that this year, and has the makings of being a contender for the next 3-4 years. I agree that giving up some of those guys did make a dent in the farm system, but the goal of having a strong farm isn't always to graduate all those guys to the MLB club either. Developing your minor leaguers also increases their value to other big league clubs, enabling you to trade some off for immediate MLB help, or to fill a hole on a title contender. I'd say Stearns effectively used the farm system to fill holes both ways this year.
  8. That Flaherty start needs to matter for the Cards, or there is no way they will pass the Rockies/and/or the Dodgers ... thats why we are in such a nice position to sit back and see what happens! If the Cubs take care of business against the Cardinals this weekend, I'm not going to begrudge them the division title. They earned it. Just the fact that they earned a split going up against four tough Pirate pitchers is impressive. I don't like the Cubs, but I appreciate good baseball.
  9. Plus the Cardinals and Cubs are all day games, so while they could technically be eliminated by Saturday night, they won't know it until their game is long over. Being down one game, they know that they need to win to stay alive. This is shaping up t be a great weekend of baseball
  10. Go Cardinals! Bleed Cardinal red! Also, go Philly, Washington and San Fran!
  11. I give you credit Briggs. When you commit to a bit, you own the heck out of it.
  12. I don't like the pitching matchups for the Cubs and their pen is shaky at best. If the Cards are fighting for a playoff spot the Cubs are going to get everything they can handle and then some. Wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs drop two which would make me look silly for thinking the Brewers had zero shot at the division for quite some time now. I think you are right on. The Brewers' chance is obviously not super high, but saying they don't have a chance at all looks pretty foolish to me.
  13. Well darn ... oh well, one game is nothing. The Cubs still look like trash. They will drop at least one this weekend. If the Brewers take care of business like they can and should, getting to at least a one-game playoff for the division is still a strong possibility. Go Cardinals!
  14. Well, they are not a playoff team for a reason. I guess we should be thankful they stole two from the Cubs already in this series, and gave the Brewers a puncher's chance.
  15. I mean, it's not about being right, but FFS, some people were calling him Cy Williams this week. Well, the guy has basically been deGrom in the second half. He absolutely dominated in his starts against the Brewers. Looks like a totally different guy tonight.
  16. While it wouldn't surprise me for the Cards to take two, you can't depend on it. The Brewers need to sweep the Tigers out of town if they want a shot at the division.
  17. Only hope now is to get into that rotten Cubs' pen. Lester's pitch count is sky high through 4, so he's maybe got another inning, but I imagine that's it. Well, I suppose this is what happens when you depend on teams who have nothing to play for to play spoiler.
  18. You were right lcbj68c ... Trevor Williams isn't living up to the hype tonight.
  19. I have no idea what this means. It's like you are setting yourself up to be disappointed simply for the sake of being disappointed.
  20. WGN still exists, but I think only carries Cubs games in their home market. They aren't beamed across the country anymore. I'm sure it's something to do with MLB broadcast restrictions. WGN is still your go-to for re-runs of Cops and Everybody Loves Raymond, though
