Honestly I prefer a blowout loss like yesterday to a close one. This team still has the second best record in the NL since the ASB and really the only thing that upset me yesterday was Arrieta's injury. If he can just miss a start or two and come back OK I still think we take this division easily. Milwaukee will grab the WC from Colorado though.

KB hit a double down the right field line, that was the only good thing about yesterday. Rizzo watched easy benders for strike 1 instead of pouncing on one in a later at bat.

This years you go we go is a 560K utility guy.

Hey look! Someone in the 2 spot that can hit the ball.

Undoubtedly, he'll be on the bench tomorrow.

Here we go again.

Love the Lead off walks. Should have immediately pulled his ass.

"Playing like Champions"

Edit: Sure, just leave him in to give up then lead. Seems legit.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
And we are tied, at least the Pirates played dumb on the bases with no outs

Here we go..
Bats go to sleep and bullpen gives up the lead late..

Why I don't feel comfortable with a small lead over brewers ...

Yeah, you can't win in the playoffs without a bullpen. You usually don't even get to the playoffs without a bullpen. Luckily, they are in the worst division in baseball.

Getting a relief pitcher should have been a bigger priority than Q. It's simply more important.

What a joke.

I can't believe he left Edwards in.

Pretty funny. They were saying how the red sox used 12 pitchers in a game the other day. Not like we did not have bodies out there.

and instead of more pitchers, the cubs called up yet another catcher in davis, DFA's Hanneman who was immediately claimed by seattle. Why will there be 5 catchers here?

Steroid Marte is pretty good out in left. Guy's been making plays all series.
