Game Thread #101: Brewers (57-43) at Cardinals (57-45)

Matchup is CC Sabathia and Braden Looper.  This is Looper's third start against the Crew this year; his first one was pretty good and his second wasn't as strong.  Of course, it doesn't matter much what Looper does, since the offense will try to stay quiet so that Bill Hall can hit the game-winner in the 9th.

Game time is 7:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

Speaking of Hall

He’s starting again, so I wonder if he’ll see an inside pitch or two for taking his time out of the box on his home runs. Weeks is leading off again and Hart is back, too, batting fifth as usual. box

so, Cinci killer, Cardinals killer...

Is the secret that, when Bill Hall sees red, he…uh, sees red?

In addition to the complaining about Hall, I think its odd that people get upset that the team untucks their shirts after the game and that the outfielders “celebrate” or do the jump and bump. One guy who complained about the shirts described them as like a bunch of kids after church. Sure buddy.

If Sabathia improves his lifetime average to .300 or so

With another HR or two in July/August do you move him to the 8th, or even 7th spot ala Dontrell Willis for the end of the season?

I know the Zambrano is a good hitter but have never moved him up, but Ned has experiemented a lot with the lineup and it wouldn’t surprise me as CC is a legitimate hitter it seems

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

I want to see him bat 2nd

with Corey in the leadoff spot. Greatest combined height and/or weight in the top two spots in the order in baseball history. (Probably.)

Worth mentioning

in BP postseason odds, Crew is up to 69%, including 33% of taking the Central. I know I’ve said this before, but keep in mind that those probably underestimate our chances, since they are based on performance for the entire season, and we improved our team more than any other team is likely to.

Also, cheese.

Sorry for the lack of explanation

Patterson had been pinch hit but not double switched as the GD scorer apparently thought, so for two batters it appeared as above. Really a nice representation of the Reds season when CP is in CF, really.

Rather seen a bunt

and keep CC of the basses potentially.

by Flag Up on Jul 23, 2008 8:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

that reminds me of my favorite corny music joke

A number of years ago, the Seattle Symphony was doing Beethoven’s Ninth under the baton of Milton Katims…

At this point, you must understand two things:

1. There's a long segment in this symphony where the bass violins don't have a thing to do. Not a single note for page after page.
2. There used to be a tavern called Dez's 400 right across the street from the Seattle Opera House, rather favored by local musicians.

It had been decided that during this performance, after the bass players had played their parts in the opening of the Ninth, they were to quietly lay down their instruments and leave the stage rather than sit on their stools looking and feeling dumb for twenty minutes.

Well, once they got backstage, someone suggested that they trot across the street and quaff a few brews. After they had downed the first couple rounds, one said, “Shouldn’t we be getting back? It’d be awfully embarrassing if we were late.”

Another, presumably the one who suggested this excursion in the first place, replied, “Oh, I anticipated we could use a little more time, so I tied a string around the last pages of the conductor’s score. When he gets down to there, Milton’s going to have to slow the tempo way down while he waves the baton with one hand and fumbles with the string with the other.”

So they had another round and finally returned to the Opera House, a little tipsy by now. However, as they came back on stage, one look at their conductor’s face told them they were in serious trouble.

Katims was furious! And why not? After all…

It was the bottom of the Ninth, the score was tied, and the basses were loaded.

Also, cheese.
