All of this talk about the Cubs resting some of their regulars as the playoffs draw near is starting to bother me.
Watching the Cubs/Brewers game today on Fox, Sweet Lou was asked about resting his team and it seemed that he was getting rather tired of talking about it as well.
I am tired of hearing that just because we play some of our reserves we aren't trying to compete. I think the Brew Crew and Ben Sheets found out today that even our reserves compete too.
No matter who Lou puts out on to the field those nine guys are going to compete. They are not just going to roll over and give up! A number of them are still fighting for a roster spot in the playoffs!
Yes, the Cubs have been able to rest some of their regulars, but they have put a team out there that has stood toe to toe against the two teams left trying to win the Wild Card.
I don't know how the rest of you feel but I don't think the Cubs are trying to screw over the Brewers or the Mets and are playing these games fairly. Lou has done the same thing against the Brewers that he did with the series in New York.
Honestly, I have a feeling that the Brewers and Mets will end up playing a playoff on Monday to decide the Wild Card...which is the way I feel it should be anyways!
Feel free to let me know how you feel though!

A Little Rant

A few things: yes the Cubs are good, they are not the best team in the MLB. My thoughts as I'm watching the game right now, the Crew will pull through and will pull off a big fat W today. The game yesterday was disgusting. When we got up to 4-3, I thought we were going to have a miracle like when Braun hit a grand slam in the clutch. The Brewers want to make the playoffs so bad and they are really showing it the last few days. I think all you Cubs fans should be cheering for us today. You and I both know the playoffs are going to be more entertaining and better matchups if the Crew makes it over the Mets. It's time for the Cubs to stop being selfish and let us win.
I do have to agree with you, the Brewers make the playoffs a lot more entertaining then the Mets would have. The atmosphere of a Cubs/Brewers series is quite an event to be a part of and would be interesting to see.
We will see if both teams can make it through the NLDS though first!
Now the only question I have for Brewers fans is, are you happy that they fired Yost and brought in Sveum to lead them to the playoffs?
