What's the ticket situation in the event of a one-game playoff? Lottery?

[mtrebs]

Yuni makes that play easily

Did I hear my name?

You know I hit .406 in the Mexican Autumn League this year. And .367 in the Mexican Spring League.

 

This handsome man can still rake.

 

I hope you get banned.

 

Ha! I’m still upset at Yuni’s defense killing us in 2011.

[Ennder]

Where is the guy who said we weren't playing like a division winner down the stretch? 10 of 11 series wins.......

 

Cubs getting beat again by the Pirates... . .

 

That’s me. They weren’t when I said it. They are now!

 

Sure but you said it when the Brewers had the 3rd best record in the NL in the 2nd half so it was never really true.

[bigredrobbo]

 

Yep, the Cubs have one more opportunity to lose before Williams clowns them.

 

Ivan Nova is no pushover tomorrow, either!

Technically it’s still true. What division are they leading right now?

Nice win! Closest 12-4 game I've ever seen, lol.

 

Could've easily been 15-1 if Counsell didn't blow so many obvious decisions.

 

But I'm not complaining.

[Eye Black]

A 6 RBI night for Christian Yelich is a nice milestone to pin in his MVP campaign.

[Bulldogboy]

With Nova and Williams up next Cubs are in serious trouble. Just keep winning and we are good to go.

Plus they play a Cardinal team that will likely need a sweep just to have a playoff shot with the way the Rockies are playing.

[SRB]

How about some love for the amazing bullpen too? After Cedeno they fired off another 5.0 scoreless innings, and without Hader or Jeffress.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Pretty sure a 1980s Serbian basketball player is pitching for the Pirates now.

Yes, this is playing out as best it can. Hopefully the Pirates can keep sticking it to the Cubs and then the Cardinals can take a few from the Cubs as well.

I’ve been following the Brewers since ‘78 when I was 6.

 

Don’t think I’ve ever had a September like this. Brewers had several late-season surges that came up short (87 and 92 come to mind).

 

In ‘82, the Brewers barely held on. In ‘11, the Brewers peaked in August and wasn’t playing their best at seasons’ end.

 

This is so much fun. I was in St. Louis last night and the nervous energy from both sets of fans was such that I haven’t felt in a game I attended in a long, long time. Sharing it with fellow Brewers fans, chanting “MVP!”, etc., and then having it end in a win was the absolute best.

 

Go get it Brewers. Go get it ALL!

[Underachiever]

Barnes needs to get through this with an era under 63.

How about an ERA of 3.35?

 

For a guy with an ERA of 3.35 and a FIP around 3.65, I sure don't get the hate for him around here.

I would have said that for any pitcher. I don’t have any animosity toward Barnes.

[StearnsFTW]

Pretty sure a 1980s Serbian basketball player is pitching for the Pirates now.

 

Show Dovydas Neverauskas some respect!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I'm getting greedy now. Lets get another one and put these birds out of their misery.

[YelichPosse]

If we win out, the division and the #1 seed will be ours. I believe that. 4 to go.

I love that things are unfolding that both the Cubs and Cardinals need to play to win in their series.

[HarveysWBs]

I just got some tickets for Sunday. I'm feeling like we're going to have something big to play for that day...

[topper09er]

If we win out, the division and the #1 seed will be ours. I believe that. 4 to go.

 

It will also be our first time leading the NL in wins

Let’s do it , why not? We have suffered through many a heart break why can’t this be our year to have some fun?!

Warning track power flyout from Baez to end the 8th
