PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 2, 2008 5:07 PM CDT
Did I mention who's starting?
The lineup:
- CF Mike Cameron
- 2B Ray Durham
- LF Ryan Braun
- 1B Prince Fielder
- SS JJ Hardy
- RF Corey Hart
- 3B Craig Counsell
- C Jason Kendall
- P CC Sabathia
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!

CC is coming he is going to rescue us
He will smite our enemies and bring us a victory ;)
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
He has trampled out the vintage with a great ceramic sword
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
and he will shoot fire from his eyes
and lightening bolt from his fingers actually I believe CC is one of the few remaining Jedi Knights
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Closer still...
Yes, he is Gary Thorne on Halloween 1988.

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!

Torg is awesome
Funniest post in the history of the internet.
so if we stare at the picture of such a cursed hat en masse
what does that do for us?

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.
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
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.

Since we were mugless... just found some funny story on a pregnant Brewer fan

It would be an intresting NLCS Cubs vs Brewers too.
Charlie M's pregame
Sounded like they’d try and work the count against CC unless he throws first pitch fastball.
"And CC Sabathia, a very good hitting pitcher, on the mound."
Of all the notable things about CC, that’s somewhere in the second thousand.
I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.
that he's on the mound?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
methinks
he doesn’t do so well with hitting when he’s on the mound. he typically does that from the batters box.

Has Sveum ever explained why Corey's playing?
Seriously, I’m curious. Has any reporter ever asked him? I can’t remember a player having a longer, worse stretch in as many key situations as Hart without being benched.

Dodgers are kind of fun to watch. I’d like to see a Dodgers/Rays series. Just no Cubs, no Red Sox. But hey, we’ve got Bulldog and “Big Game” back in Milwaukee.
I should have included #3) Red Sox (or whoever else my brother is rooting for, fortunately, for a long time that was the Braves)… The Rays would be fun, and would probably end with some clutch Gabe Gross hit.

CC didnt have it tonight...
…but that AB by Hart in the 1st was RIDICULOUS
How do you swing at the first pitch with the bases loaded and Myers clearly struglling to throw strikes?
so corey works the count
Draws a walk, and we are down 5-2 now instead of 5-1
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
you're predicting no more runs that inning?

Doesnt work that way
Maybe he has a good AB there and changes the face of the game. At least give your team a chance.
He robbed the team of a good opportunity.
does that change the fact that CCs arm has been worked like no arm in the last 10 years
and the Phils would have crushed him the next inning… doubtful

Keep giving me wouldves...
…here is a fact…
that AB was terrible.
That’s all I’m saying.
If you’ve already accepted a loss then log off and go to bed.
I am saying blame not Corey Hart the fact we are down 5-1
Blame the pitcher for the 5 runs in the first two innings

I dont know how to be any clearer than that

gotta protect the bottom of the order.

Sports rarely deserves the word “heroic,” but the last three months were one of the most heroic performances in Brewers history.

There's an elderly woman parked in front of my house.
She’s never driven before, there’s a guy in the car with her teaching her to drive. She’s already run over the curb twice, and failed to get out of her parking space on the first 3 tries.
I can’t help but feel like this experience and the Brewers’ NLDS experience have a lot in common.
I wonder if it took her 26 years to get into the car.

Not feeling overly optimistic...
about the Crew’s chances of pulling this one out with the way they’ve been swinging the bats. It’s a real shame, their performance thus far.
So if I'm managing the Phillies...
I let Myers hit for himself and stay in.
Am I wrong?

He can redeem himself completely if he beans Myers (assuming he bats)
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
so...i guess Gagne's only in for 1
considering no double-switch and he doesn’t know how to bat…

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.

Phillies 4 game sweep
After that I didn’t give up but I knew that things looked pretty bleak. I enjoyed the rest of the season immensely. I’m feeling the same way here. I find the Phillies unimpressive. We’ll have to get good stuff from Bush and Suppan, but it would be appropriate for this team to make it a series.

Does the umpire crew change when they go to Milwaukee?
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Yeah
Showed off the wing span.
At Bazarro BCB there are talks of getting rid of DLee. Think they aren’t ready to see their E rate for all the bad infield throws go up.
Schilling apparently hates Manny. Personally, I hope is absence stings for Boston in the post season.

not a schilling fan either
i hope the angels take that series (Scocia is my favorite manager and i love watching that team play) but i hope the rays make it

Thinking positive
Our ace only gave up 5 runs (granted some Cubs ones come from errors)
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Lee gets some outs with that wingspan as well
unfortunately the people running the Cubs are brighter than the evil BCB braintrust
Dempster is a free agent after this season… Anyone else for the Cubs?
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
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.
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.

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.

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.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
This would take one hell of a comeback (I wonder if it’s ever happened?)

I couldn’t find it in a google search, but I’m pretty sure he ended below his projections.

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.
