@SamOlbur Nice to see after Perez blew a four run lead on Saturday vs the Padres.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 In a last minute effort to get onto the other side of the bracket from the Brewers, the Cubs partied deep into the night at Churchill Downs before their game against the Reds.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@KodyDuncanPGH Hard to believe this team will miss the playoffs- much better lineup and rotation than San Diego and Arizona.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@brendan_cubs Would have been Bauers vs Zeferjahn. Craig liked Ortiz vs Boyd better than the former.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@ClarkMetAddison Think the fear was Murphy going to Bauers for Ortiz (probably would have).
Liked Ortiz vs Boyd more than Bauers vs Zeferjahn.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@cody__cubs Marlins have been great at home- 2/3 is a great result. Save the pen and move on to Milwaukee. Go Braves.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 If the bar is set at having a better regular season than the Brewers, then 28 teams are failing every year. They're a machine over 162, and beatable in a short series- go beat em' when it counts.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@BrewPack8 A series where both teams walk away feeling like they probably should have won 3/4. Brewers are a great team- let's do it again next week, and hopefully one more time in October.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@SamOlbur 0-2 walk to Suarez, 0-2 hit to McClain.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@willgchase The Phillies play the Dbacks this week, and in the case that both of those teams are able to win all three games the Cubs could be in huge trouble.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@SamOlbur Shocked they didn’t go to Webb for Perdomo.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 The great, improbable wins and the unlikely, terrible losses is why we all let this sport fill our calendars for eight months. It's maddening and awesome all at the same time, and no matter what the result is- you just know it's going to be completely different the next day.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 Sometimes I think its limited (at least in its most extreme fashion) to Cubs twitter, but Brewers fans were ready to concede the division to the Cubs a week ago.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 Important to remember that every individual loss exposes a fatal flaw that will doom the team in the postseason.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@cody__cubs Webb has quite literally saved the season. Was just thinking after the back to back Sox walk offs that we have been on the right side of so many of these improbable ones this year. Get this one out of the way now, get the pitching healthy and lock down that first spot.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@SamOlbur Bizarre- but Cubs have been on the other end of these insane games more often than not this year. Pick it back up, get the pitching healthy and sorted out and lock in that first wild card.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@TheBlogfines Feels like the Cubs have been on the right side of so many of these improbable ones. Figure out the pitching, and hold onto that first wild card spot.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@SamOlbur See a little bit of fatigue in the approach. If you can scratch out a win today that's a fantastic result over this stretch with essentially one off day in a month.

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@EVR551 "Let's go to Gordon Wittenmeyer for comment""

[Jwrose @Jwrose2]

@ChiSoxFanMike Sox are a hell of a young team and just getting started. To even be in that game getting outhit, coming off the sweep, and all of their leverage guys down is impressive. Two good teams- great for the city.
