Can I inquire what the winning lotto numbers will be this week while you are at it

I don't see how either team can win.

Wow, that ended abruptly. See you all next year.

No surprise, Joe Maddon's line-ups score 0 or 1 run on average every 3 games.
Too much inconsistency under his watch.

That game last night was intense. Always good to see the cubs collapse and lose. Their fans talk so much trash across the border.

The Cubs played 30 games without a day off at the end. Given that, I give them credit for how well they played.

That said, their offence was really dismal in the second half of the season.

Milwaukee was the better team by the end of the season and deserved to win the division. I'll be rooting for them to go all the way.

This is not Maddons fault...easy to make him the scapegoat here.
If he gets fired, there will be 10 job offers for him very quickly.
Heyward not the hitter they thought when he got huge bucks to sign, Addison Russell suspended after domestic incident, Hugh Darvish out all year after getting $120m to sign, their bullpen suffers after Morrows injury, except for Rizzo and Baez not a lot of production from rest of their infield....ect..

Maddon is fine...make him the scapegoat....maybe Theo had an off year.
