Milwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 1, 2008 2:07 PM CDT
There's very little new to add to what's already been said, so let me link you instead:
- Check out the NLDS rosters for the Brewers and Phillies, the latter including a certain left-handed outfielder you may be familiar with. Six non-roster players will also be on the bench for the Brewers, with four more in attendance but not in uniform. Quick, spot the prominent name whose whereabouts remain unmentioned.
- The Frosty Mug collected a lot of predictions, including Jeff's, contrary as usual.
- Dixie breaks down Phils Game 1 starter Cole Hamels. Takeaway fact that you might not have known: Hamels, unlike most lefties, uses his changeup well against same-handed hitters, so don't be surprised when he makes Prince look silly on one.
- Read Jeff's three-part interview with the Phillies blogosphere, and the Good Phight's own interview with him.
- A couple more things of absolutely no predictive value: Recall what happened the last time the Phillies came into the playoffs as a white-hot team that had caught and passed the Mets at the very end of the season? Also, don't forget that the Brewers have math on their side: they won the last October game they played.
- Mike Cameron CF
- Bill Hall 3B
- Ryan Braun LF
- Prince Fielder 1B
- J.J. Hardy SS
- Corey Hart RF
- Rickie Weeks 2B
- Jason Kendall C
- Yovani Gallardo RHP
Remember: there's many Dane Cooks, but there's only one October. Go Brewers!

Biggest game for the Brewers
(other than the last one) in 26 years… incredible…
This is a special occassion… getting swept would be horrible, I want to see two game at Miller Park minimum.
I think we can pull the upset, everyone in the media is underestimating Gallardo… he could show something special today. I am thinking a low scoring game… with the weather… 3-1 Brewers? Last time that score worked out well for the team.
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Since Jeff is at the game I can safely make a comment about the lineup :)
Weeks should be batting second if not lead off. Bill Hall just shouldn’t be batting second. Also, Hart should probably be moved down a least a bit. He has been so cold. That said, these are very tiny things and doubtfully be an issue. Maybe Kendall will be better with a couple of days off here.
I will be Tivo’ing the game but have a good thread guys.

It's real!
So I went to pick up a will call ticket today and figured I’d stop in the Fanzone. Outside I could see something going on with the field. So I smoozed security guard and got to walk the concourse.

The last inning for that last October game is pretty funny
Bottom of the 9th, Cardinals Batting, Behind 0-5, Carlos Villanueva facing 1-2-3
O - 2 100% A Miles Flyball: RF (CF-RF)
R - 4 99% C Duncan Home Run (Fly Ball)
R - 2 98% A Pujols Home Run (Fly Ball)
Francisco Cordero replaces Carlos Villanueva pitching and batting 9th
O - 4 99% P Wilson Strikeout Swinging
R - 5 98% S Spiezio Home Run (Fly Ball)
O - 6 100% J Encarnacion Strikeout Swinging
3 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 0 LOB. Brewers 5, Cardinals 3.

Cordero entered in a non-save situation.

He hasn't been with the team for at least two weeks now
It was barely news, they said something like “we sent him home to clear some room in the dugout”. He wasn’t going to play with the injury, anyway, but they just sent him home. Shows you how little he got used.

I got tired of beign told I was an asshole every day
by people I thought were my friends
I was not a member of the Blind Faith in the Brewers club and was punished for it. The blog stopped being fun so I quit doing it. Hobbies are not supposed to suck
Do not get me wrong I am stoked that they made the playoffs but 2 weeks ago I did not think they would do it and said so. glad I was wrong but up until that Braun homerun it was in doubt
That and I just got really tired of dealing with ESK to be honest
