    My two cents - the Brewers did everything they needed to do to win the central.  Hats off to them.  20-7 to finish up in a pennant race deserves a league title.  

    The Cubs - we just can't string together any hits.  Too many Ks.  A lot of stupid managerial moves..... Real head scratchers at times.  Over use of analytics.  Not having Strop hurt today.  Off season moves were terrible.  Darvish barely pitched, and when he did, he sucked.  Chatwood .... Well, we'd have been better off pulling a local high school kid.  

    I think we get blown out tomorrow.  Hope to be pleasantly surprised.

    Never thought I’d be saying this, but that seems like a good thing.

    The only other one & done games they've played were a tie-breaker against the Giants in '98 for the Wild Card, and the Wild Card game against the Pirates in '15.  They won both.  Perhaps you're thinking of the 2007 NLDS when they were swept by Arizona?

    that's the one. don't know why I was thinking that was a 1 and done. then again I was drinking pretty heavily back in those days. I remember the great 98 game!  "Win it for Harry Caray"!!!

    Trolls, troll.  Why not?  You could go sit in your basement-dweller shrine to the Giants, but you'd have nothing to root for there.

    Put a fork in this team.  Nobody decided to be unselfish and work a count.  Even with a leadoff hit.  Lester is going to melt down.
