good matchup but may be too late for Brewers

they are even with philly in the loss column
philly is in atlanta for a series starting today
atlanta isn't folding
they are 7-3 in their last 10
the season starts today
but if CC can't halt the 4 game loss skid I doubt the brewers can recover
they must win today
I usually don't over emphasize "must win" games
but this is CC
and he's more of a stud than dempster

You're assessment is accurate. They're still in good position for wildcard but just seem to be imploding with all the losses and firing manager with 12 to go. If they're not going to choke, tonight is pivotal game. Agreed.
 
cubs!!
