Goatriders of the Apocalypse

Okay, this should make everyone feel better

Pointed out by my father-in-law:

If the Cubs go 4-3 for their last 7 games, the Brewers will have to go...

wait for it...

7-1.

Go Cubs. 

Given this...

Could we get over the superstition and update the Zambran-0-meter?

No

(no text)

Let's take it a step further

If the Cubs go 3-3 at this point, they will finish at 86-76... the Brewers will have to go 7-0 just to match that record. Mmm. If the Cubs go 2-4, the Brewers need to go 6-1. If the Cubs go 1-5, the Brewers will still need to go 5-2 JUST TO TIE THEM. And if the Cubs totally tank, if they go 0-6, Milwaukee will still need to go 4-3 against the dangerous (...eh, well, sorta) Deadbirds, and the playoff-driven Padres.

Uphill battle, anyone?

Go Cubs. Go, go, go. Go Cubs.

re: Learn to enjoy swagger

Unused to winning titles? Swagger comes hard to goat riders, each Cubs win coupled with a Brewer lose, cuts the magic number by 2.
