Game Thread #164: Brewers (0-1) at Phillies (1-0)

Milwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 2, 2008 5:07 PM CDT


Today's game is the equivalent of a 1-1 pitch, a real tipping point. Lose and the Brewers' backs are against the wall, needing to win out to advance. Win and they're looking at only needing to win two of three with two home games coming up.


Did I mention who's starting?

The lineup:

  1. CF Mike Cameron
  2. 2B Ray Durham
  3. LF Ryan Braun
  4. 1B Prince Fielder
  5. SS JJ Hardy
  6. RF Corey Hart
  7. 3B Craig Counsell
  8. C Jason Kendall
  9. P CC Sabathia
The Phillies will counter with Brett Myers, who's been a little inconsistent this year.
Perhaps now, with his team ahead in the series, Myers can take a deep breath and channel his inner-Dr. Jekyll?
His wife sure hopes so.


Go Brewers!

With apologies to Louis Tully from Ghost Busters

He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Sabathia! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of Sabathia that day, I can tell you!

Either way... the media will not be on our side after this game

They will say if the Brewers win “They can only win if CC is on the mound, and he can only pitch twice this series. The only way they win the series is if they throw him out every night”

If they lose, they will say “CC playoff struggles because the Brewers pushed him too hard down the stretch and it finally caught up to them” I dont buy either.

Fact is the Phillies are a better team than most of the lineups CC has faced the second half. But I don’t care what the media says, a win is a win… and if they have the series tied coming back home… I am going to be VERY excited.

When you are trying to soak up everything that is being put out relating to the Brewers for this once in a lifetime experience

You read everything and watch Sportscenter and Baseball Tonight and post game shows and listening to radio and scour the internet for all stories relating to the Brewers….

You are right, opnions though I don’t listen to, but I am going to pay attention… paying attention shows you care.

I can’t help but feel like this experience and the Brewers’ NLDS experience have a lot in common.

From Wikipedia:

One widely-held belief is that heavy consumption of turkey meat (as for example in a Thanksgiving or Christmas feast) results in drowsiness, which has been attributed to high levels of tryptophan contained in turkey.454647 While turkey does contain high levels of tryptophan, the amount is comparable to that contained in most other meats.14 Furthermore, postprandial Thanksgiving sedation may have more to do with what is consumed along with the turkey, in particular carbohydrates and alcohol, rather than the turkey itself.

How ironic is it...

That the only reliable feature of the playoff Brewers has been their bullpen?

They've had

pretty good hitting
excellent starting pitching
excellent bullpen pitching

just not 2 of 3 very often and I can’t remember a 3 of 3 although there must have been some

Edmonds I would assume

Everyone refers to Harden as being signed, but I thought he had some odd contract that left open the possibility of him being a FA.

by ol Pete on Oct 2, 2008 10:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

He can request a trade

Because he was in the middle of a multi-year deal. They can either trade him or let him walk.

by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 2, 2008 10:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

He's got fewer than six years of service time though

Why couldn’t the Cubs just take him to arbitration and say tough luck, leave after next year.

Surreal scene in Wrigley...

…. Zambrano gets pulled and the fans give him a standing ovation… only there are boos echoing in the background as well…. Z takes his hat off and glances around the stands, then points up at the sky…. all while down 6-0.

Then Z hangs his head in the dugout and buries his face in a towel… at least that part made sense….

Brewers Postseason vs. Cubs Postseason

We squeaked into the playoffs, and no one was really saying we’d take it all at the beginning of the season. If we get any farther I’ll be elated, but it wouldn’t be shocking to be eliminated by the Phillies.

With the Cubs though, they were annointed at the beginning of the season, and the regular season just went so smoothly that it’s hard to imagine how high Cubs fans hopes must be.

Do you mean like PECOTA, because he came from Japan so there may not be any. Nice third K.

But he’s got a fat contract. Might not be popular out and about, but he can always come up to Milwaukee.

Poster jacob was upset by the Fukudome projection last December

link to BP Unfiltered Fukudome projection

PECOTA Projected: .289/.401/.504
Actual: .257/.359/.379

If it had been a four-month season, the OBP would’ve been close. Missed on the power, though.
