9/30 Game Thread: Brewers (Spoiling) at Cardinals (Salvaging)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 303 comments

I'm calling it: Ben Sheets is going to throw a shutout today.  What's more, the Brewers are going to score 5 runs off of Jeff Suppan.  Sheets will strike out Pujols at least twice, and Prince Fielder will hit a home run.  

Because FOX and MLB are fascists sometimes, the game is at 12:25, and if you want to watch it, you'll have to suffer through the babbling of national announcers who shall remain nameless.  (If only they would remain voicebox-less.)

Go spoiler Brewers!

Actually
Isn't Sutton calling the game on Fox with Lou Piniella?

by battlekow on Sep 30, 2006 11:38 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I heard
...they were going to replace Sutton with Hideo Nomo.

That's crazy talk
Everyone knows Nomo's delivery isn't suitable for Western audiences.

Speaking of...
"Sheets will strike out Pujols at least twice."

In the entire month of April 2004, Pujols struck out five times; once on Opening Day (the 5th) against Ben Sheets, then not again until the 23rd, when he struck out twice against Matt Kinney (!), then once two days later, again vs. Sheets. Not until April 30th against the Cubs did Pujols strike out against a non-Brewer.

Today Reds fans and Brewers fans
can come together for a common purpose: beating unimaginative sports cities.  St. Louis named both its baseball AND football team the Cardinals.  Pittsburgh has three professional sports teams, and only two colors for all of them.  So here's to beating the Deadbirds, and here's to beating the Black and Gold!

We shouldn't
Sheets, Capuano, Bush, and Davis will all be back...and we have at least two young pitchers (Villanueva and Eveland) who really deserve a shot to be #5, plus Yovani Gallardo should be ready by the all-star break, along with a few other guys who will start the year at AAA.

Does that mean Doug Melvin won't try...I don't know.  Maddux is a possibility.

here we go... lets hear lou talk about stats
"What is WHIP? Whip it good you mean?" I hate it when inside-baseball people act ignorant when faced with the idea of new statistics.

I take back what i said earlier about bringing back lou.

Is there a big rivalry between Cleveland and Cincinnati?

by battlekow on Sep 30, 2006 2:36 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes.
Although being in different baseball leagues tempers the rivalry.

Plus, though technically not true, the Clowns aren't in the Bengals' league in football.

by Gapper on Sep 30, 2006 2:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Eh, kinda
Since they're in the AL, it's not huge, but when the teams play each other, it always sells out.  Baseball loyalty throughout the state is pretty divided though.

Cleveland will forget that Cinci is in OH
But Cleveland's river caught on fire.  Politically, Cleveland is pretty Democratic (lots of unions up there), and Cincy goes Republican.  Cleveland's sports teams always lose, while Cincy's sports teams only mostly lose.

But then I'm from Dayton (45 min.-1 hour north of Cincy), so maybe someone from either of those towns should speak to the rivalry.

but usually one team is a lot better than the other so it doesn't come up.

Cassano's is good.
There was one on the end of my street when I lived at UD.  Ate their at least once a week.  They are the only place that doesn't serve 'sausage' on their pizza in the form of little kibbles.

I hate Marion's.
Huge rip off.  They charge you up the ass for a pizza served on cardboard which they don't even bring to your table.  And should you want a beverage....that will be a dollar for twelve ounces, no refunds.  No thanks!

Also I just went there for so many pizza parties after soccer seasons that it's basically a nostalgia thing.
