"Personally I've never had a big beef with the Brewers. It's probably the Sconnie blood going through my veins, but aside from Ryan Bruan I've generally liked/tolerated the Brewers, and always had a good time at Miller Park (not using the dumb new name). I loved those bad-but-fun Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks teams. I'd also be annoyed if another nearby fanbase frequently took over my ballpark, though it's not quite as bad as it was when I lived in the area."
"The Brewers clinched the division back on Sep 21, and went 2-4 in their remaining games as they mostly took their foot off the gas, losing series to the Dads and Reds. With the bye it's been nearly two weeks since they've played a game that counts, hopefully that means they'll come out flat. One can hope! The Cubs are coming off a wild card series win over the Padres. The pitching and defense looked pretty good! The offense...eh."
"Though the Padres had the third best pitching in the league, and had by FAR the best bullpen (3.06 ERA vs second best ERA of 3.41), and the Cubs saw a lot of it, and the wind was blowing in for two games, and (fill in a few other excuses). Hopefully they look sharper this series against the Brewers pitching, who have *checks notes* the SECOND best ERA in the league. Yayyyyyyy."
The Cubs won an elimination game and advanced to a subsequent series against the Brewers. Personal sentiment toward the Brewers is mild, with enjoyable memories at Miller Park and appreciation for past players like Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks despite not being universally antagonistic. The Brewers clinched the division on September 21 but went 2-4 afterward and have had nearly a two-week break, which could lead to flat performance. The Cubs defeated the Padres in the wild card round with solid pitching and defense but inconsistent offense. The Padres had excellent pitching and the best bullpen, while the Brewers record a league-second ERA, indicating pitching will be decisive.
