Cubs vs. Cardinals on 9/10 - Who ya got?

[mrbergmann]

I'm pulling for the Cards. I still don't believe that they have the firepower to hang with the Brewers and Cubs the next 3 weeks. Plus, with a Cards win and Brewers win, the lead is back to +2 for the Crew!

[razzzorsharp]

I will root against the team closest to the Brewers. It happens to be the Cubs here.

[billyhallfan]

i don't think the cardinals have it, frankly I'm getting sick and tired of hearing that they have been there before, so they will get it done, or they have the experience, Even with Mulder back, I still don't see them sticking with Chicago and Milwaukee.

 

edit--I'm pulling for St. Louishttp://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif

 

Go Chris Duncan!

I think either way this (five game) series is a win-win for the Brewers. If the Cardinals come out victorious in these games then obviously its good because it hurts the Cubs quite immensely. If the Cubs come out victorious in the series then it will keep the Cubs within a very legit shot at the Brewers, but it will virtually eliminate the Cardinals from any playoff opportunities, which could prove benificial in the final week when the Brewers go up against the for a four game set (emotionally out of it). I don't know what I would rather happen, but I think it'd be great if the Cubs lost four out of these five and basically put themselves out of any realistic chance of the playoffs. We'd also control our own destiny against the Cards (good or bad?).

 

Of course, if one team or the other only took three, then the series would be pretty insignificant, the above circumstances are just for a team winning four of the five.

For Monday, I guess my level of "grim satisfaction" will be more favorable if St. Louis wins. This is not quite the same as my rooting for the Cardinals.

 

As for the rest of that series (Friday-Saturday-Saturday-Sunday, right?), I think I'll take them as I will the Brewers' games: one at a time. Good Lord willing, things'll work out.

[robfuhr]

ON Monday, I would like to see a 24 inning game since it already has travel implications on it and depleting each teams respective bullpens can only hurt both these teams before they start their next series.

[pogokat]

whatever combination of wins/losses gives the brewers the biggest lead...

[brewmann04]

i have to vote for the cards we can take off them later

[pretendastronaut]

For tomorrow I'm pulling for the Cards. If we can win tomorrow, and they beat the Cubs, that's more overall separation for us.

[jason21nl]

i will always pull for the team playing the Cubs. I just hate them with a passion. If the Cards do end up passing the Cubs, then I just want them to beat up on each other and drain their pens

[rluzinski]

The Cubs are closer to the Brewers and the better overall team. The Cardinals taking 4 of 5 from the Cubs sounds great.

[Mr QL]

No question I'm rooting for the Cards. If we do miss the playoffs I'd sure as heck rather it be to them than the Cubs. We would never here the end of it. Here's to a St. Louis sweep.

[jlau20]

Cards, so long as the Cubs are ahead of us. Cards, in general actually.

[LouisEly]

I got three 19-inning games so both pitching staffs are gassed, Carlos Z pulls a shoulder muscle pumping his fist after a strikeout and is out for three weeks, Pujols breaks a finger in a collision at first base, Marmol sprains an ankle slipping on the dugout steps, and Ankiel gets busted in a urine test.

[DHonks]

with 5 head-to-head games in the next week 7 days, I am rooting for the Cards to take 3 of the games. If the Brewers go 4-2, the Cards 5-3, and the Cubs 4-4, it'd put us 2 ahead of the Cubs and 3 ahead of the Cards with 16 games to play

[brewcrewnation]

Go cards go at least today.

[lumberrule]

Gotta pull for St. Louis today, simply because the Cubs are closer.

 

But the best thing: it doesnt matter! As long as the Brewers take care of their own business, its a moot point. The beauty of controlling your own destiny...

A lot depends, IMHO, on the Brewers in PNC... if they win two out of three, or better yet, SWEEP the Pirates, then a 3-2 series either way has the Crew controlling its own destiny.

[djoctagone]

i'm rooting for a reliever from each team to blow a save in today's game.

 

and by blow, i mean surrendering three or more runs.

 

i wish bullpen anguish upon both the cubs and the cardinals.

[jeffy]

I want to see a tie game from the 5th inning on until it ends, about 6 hours of rain delays, and the cardinals winning in about 20 innings.

 

Or...they only get in 4 innings, have about 6 hours of rain delays and have to do it all over again another day.

[bigredrobbo]

I'm rooting for the Cards with an immediate appearance postgame in Wrigleyville from Godzilla (the real one - not Matsui)!

[Oldcity]

I'm rooting for rain.
