Yes, always prefer the division, but can you imagine the joy of dealing them a 2011ish type dismissal in the NLDS? What a pleasure destroying that roided up frog eyed Braun’s championship dreams.

Frazod, was talking about the Cubs. But, knocking the Brewers out when they thought that for sure, no doubt, this is the year that they get to the World Series. That was brutal.

Thanks man. You saw this team first hand during our first Series. We looked bad, right? We knew we'd be better with a fence post managing the team but this much improvement? :-) I'm sure we will hit a wall at some point but right now its a fun team. Scoring from 2B on an infield hit? :-)

Yes, I know he was referencing the baby bears, I was just saying even if we don't win the division, it would be sweet to give them the same treatment we gave the Brewers in 2011. I still can't believe we beat Halladay, Lee and Oswalt in that first series to even get to the NLCS.

You should hear the local announcers up here today. Apparently sweeping the Reds at home makes the Cubs the ‘27 Yankees. :-)

Beat supposedly, according to every article and broadcaster at the time, Philly's 3 pitchers that were the best ever thrown against a team in a series.

The Cubs did nothing wrong, but I'd like to return the insult and celebrate in Wrigley. Take our own winning picture on the Cubs mound.

19-5 in the month of August, 23-7 and nine consecutive series wins in the past 30 days. Anyway you slice it, it has been an impressive turnaround.

Waiting for what?

I didn't expect the Dodgers to just lay over.

I'm waiting for the offseason when Mo decides to build the future of the Cardinals around guys like Tyler O'neill.

Nice deflection

I mean you guy are like .5 games up in the WC on 3 or 4 teams and you are talking about shit like knocking the Cubs out of the playoffs.

I would be a little bit worried about a GM who is afraid to make drastic changes looking at this month of baseball where guys like Kolten Wong are having his annual month of offense that make him look like he's turning the corner and Tyler O'neill still striking out 40% of the time but carrying a .450 BABIP.
[Reply]

:-) Of course it was the Dodgers laying over that determined that series win. Did the Rockies tank too? How about your Cubbies, did they just "lay over" when the Cards started this streak by taking 2 of 3 from them?

Geez your a total tool.

Oh and I look forward to Theo signing Lance Lynn or Matt Harvey to a multiyear deal after Yu Debacle's shoulder turns out really is hamburger.

First it is 1.5 game lead in the WC dumb ass, learn to read a simple expanded standings. It is a .5 game between them and the second wild card. No one here is claiming anything about your little underachievers this year.

You go on a run like this at this time of year and yeah, you start thinking about the possibilities. The Cubs have flaws that if they don't take care of business (as they should) that final series could be relevant.

I hate to break your bubble, but you guys are far from the dynasty you thought you would have, and if you are honest, that is probably what is chaffing your ass right now.
[Reply]

No rest for the weary. A day off but gotta keep winning.

Another 6 or 7 game win streak would be awesome.
[Reply]

If I'm honest?

The Cubs have been to 3 straight NLCS' and are the best team in the NL right now while missing a key part of their rotation, their MVP, and their closer for significant chunks of the season.

If you were honest you would realize how stupid you sound thinking the Cubs are in any way shape or form not the premier team of the NL for the forseeable future.
