These are the games you win divisions with. You HAVE to beat the teams below you. With the Cards losing, and the Reds tossing Lehr out there, we needed a sweep. This team definitely lacks killer instinct, and it's definitely visible with the plethora of comebacks we've allowed all season.
I know I'm probably overreacting, and I should take the series win on the road, but this game was such a valuable opportunity.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I said last night, we came in 12-1 against teams under .500 since the break. The Cubs have been winning the games they're supposed to lately. They're just all way too far ahead of this dude. We can't hit some of these soft tossers but we'll also hit a lot of good pitchers most teams won't.

You're right. And we did handle CC last year, unlike anyone else. But it's the struggles of Gregg recently, and this game that really make me feel picky. I know I'm putting the expectations too high, but I had good vibes about this roadie and I wanted 6 or 7 wins. Seems doubtful now.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
