I didn't even notice there was a game, much less pick out strange coincidences in pitching matchup names

Small zone today

Not giving the corners at all, it looks like.

I just now sat down in front of a TV

How has Sabathia looked?

Not great control

Walked a couple already and gone 3-2 to several others.

So-so

hitting his spots pretty well, backdoor cutter looking filthy against lefties, but still adjusting to the tight zone I think

by Wayfaerer on Aug 31, 2008 1:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not getting a lot of swings and missed with it yet

So he is going to have to get it in the strike zone.

Nice inning

- R. Howard doubled to deep center
- S. Victorino reached on bunt single to pitcher, R. Howard to third
- J. Werth grounded out to pitcher, S. Victorino to second
- P. Feliz intentionally walked
- C. Ruiz flied out to center
- J. Moyer grounded out to pitcher

So who saw the Laroche hit in the fifth?

Jim and Bob are on a mission to get the official score changed, neither thinks it was a hit. I didn’t see it, what’s the opinion around here?

good point

Every other year for no reason at all the Brewers would have lost this series.

This is a different Brewers team this year.

One step closer

to 2 straight days of cheap wings!

There’s a bar in town that does wing discounts the entire next day if the brewers score 6 or more – 20c/ea for 6+ runs, 15c/ea for 10+, 10c/ea for 14+. And I take advantage.

The part of my brain that loves anarchy is relishing the idea of CC finishing the game just for the controversy

The rest of my brain is very angry with that part, though.

mets beat marlins 6-2

I’m kind of just hoping that one of the East teams pulls away and one fades, extending our wild card lead.

Phillies are at 1.19 percent odds of winning the wildcard

Happy news: Brewers playoff odds are up to 94.59731. That’s higher than they topped out at last year.

pythag

interesting: we’re now only outperforming pythag by 3 wins, and if today’s score stays where it is, that may well go down to 2. It’s like pythag is regressing to win%, rather than the other way around.

Also, cheese.

I wonder how much of CC in the 9th

is Ned wanting to stick it in the eye of his critics and the national media

by ol Pete on Aug 31, 2008 3:30 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, says Ned

He only averaged 13 pitches per inning out there today.

every starter should be able to go 110-120 every 5 days .. cc easily can throw more than that on a 5 day basis
