Meh. Its a joke really. The Mets are clearly better than the Brewers even with Wagner hurt and our bullpen a mess.
No reason the Cubs shouldnt win today. However I am worried the cubs may intentionally tank these games for obvious reasons. If the Brewers get in....the Cubs get the Dodgers in round 1. Im sure the Cubs would prefer to avoid playing the Mets in a 5 game series. Thats why its BS.
I had hopes and was thinking that these guys are major leaguers and stats are money. That each batter and each pitcher for the cubs is going to want to succeed. However, given the circumstance and the fact that the Mets are the truth and the Brewers blow, Im not so sure the Cubs wont tank it.
I certainly understand Lou giving his key guys rest in this spot, he did against us. But, in this situation Im sure they wont mind losing to the Brewers. Not playing key guys is understandable, whether or not the players who go out there tank it is another story.
