Nine outs to go. C'mon, bullpen...

Hope Q is ready for game 163 tomorrow.

Jos Quintana last 5 starts:
1.84 ERA, 29.1 IP, 21 Hits, 10 BB, 25 K, 0 HR, 1.057 WHIP

10 career starts vs Brewers
1.60 ERA, 67.1 IP, 40 Hits, 15 BB, 63 K, 5 HR, 0.817 WHIP#Cubs

I got tickets! Let's GO!

Go Brewers!

Either best record in NL or wild card play in game

If the loser of today's game wins the wild card, obviously the cubs and brewers play again as the teams with the best records in the NL.

Would the winner of that series get home field for the NLCS, even if it is the wild card winner? I'm assuming yes, but not sure.

If wild card team wins, they don't get home filed in the league championship

So dumb. I'm not even sure why this game is necessary. Do with the season head-to-head records.

Breaking down Monday's division tiebreaker doubleheader

This makes me feel a lot better about today, win or lose. Our pitching situation lines up way better than Milwaukee, Los Angeles, or Colorado.

Sports sports sports sports

Yelich is on 'roids. That skinny ***** is having an unbelievable season.

I shouldn't be this stressed out.

Rizzo!

MVP candidate Javy Baez can reappear at any time, please.

Should've let Chavez take that 2 out AB instead of letting LaStella weakly ground out. Who else in the bullpen can pitch?

WTF, Maddon? Let Wilson face two righties?! What an idiot.

And now Rosario to face Yelich? Joe is drunk.

Of course Rosario's K's Yelich.

Choke City

Helluva an at bat by Javy.

****ing choke job. The ******* 8 hole hitter had more hits than our entire team.

While today was a bummer, I do think we smash the ball and win tomorrow. My only fear is we begin forcing swings at the plate. Also, it's a night game.

Couldn't hit today. Effing sucked.

Figure out how to win tomorrow.

I think we win tomorrow but no way we beat the Brewers in a series. Oh well. Fun season I guess.

Cubs won the season series against the brewers.

They had the tieing run at the plate in the bottom of the 9th in a game they should have lost 6-1. A .230 hitter went 4-for-4 and scored 2 runs for the crew.

Brewers only got here by having an MVP candidate go off while having the Cardinals/Tigers gift them a few wins while the Cubs won 95 games with bullpen woes, injuries and a *****zo offense.

The Cubs didn't choke anything away. It's asinine to think so.

They have a great chance against the brewers in the NLDS...which is always a crapshoot anyway.

A couple weeks ago they were about 80% to win the division. You don't have to agree but it's not asinine to believe they choked it away. And to your season series record against the Brewers, i'm pretty sure we are 2-6 in the last 8. We got our wins early in the year.

Yes it is. The Cubs went 16-12 in September. Hardly a choke.

The "20%" won because the Brewers went insane in final 3 weeks, not because the Cubs blew anything. You literally had the Cardinals/Tigers gifting wins to the Brewers too.

Teams are always hot until they aren't.

No Edwards on the WC roster. Strop, Hendricks, Hamels, and Gore are on it.

cubs need edwards performing. Can't throw a consistent strike.
