2012-08-29 Brewers (Fiers) at Cubs (Samardzija), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 3-1]

[Bazinga]

We should play the Cubs more often.

 

You're not going to say that in two years.

 

With that said, no hard feelings for the past two series. You guys are the better team and the Cubs are definately taking their lumps. Good series for you guys.

I started thinking about the whole "get on a roll" thing and then I did the math. 25-8 down the stretch is still probably less than a 50/50 proposition for getting in. I only wish there as somebody on the schedule that the Brewers would be in position to really hurt with the spoiler role down the stretch. Unless the Nats or Reds really tank, the last really meaningful game the Brewers will play in terms of playoff possibilities is Sept 20 against the Pirates.

Yeh, I'm just going to root for getting to .500

If it's of any hope to anyone, we did have a 27-5 stretch last season.

One could argue that it would only be karma to come from wayback and knock the Cards out this year. Still very unlikely, but even after dealing Greinke it is nice to see the team play more like what we should be able to expect next year.

It's been fun to watch the last 2 weeks or so. That's a nice change. This was a good game, and the Segura plays were exciting.
