seriously
it’s like he’s writing something more important… like a GMAT book, or an article for the many many publications he’s in. We get what’s left (;
I just sit back and root for the taser
He's not writing
But I’m sure he’s otherwise occupied…

heh
Hey Jeff, will project-a-tron be back at all this season? Feels like it’s time for us to know how badly behind projection the team is playing.
"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!"
The project-a-tron!
The image WAS there, for a little bit at least.
"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!"
not sure.
maybe for the playoffs. i had a lot more work i wanted to do to improve it, but it isn’t very high on the list.
Also, cheese.

ok, thanks.
I wonder if, for a playoff series, project-a-tron ever comes up with: “you have to assume sweep”. The suspense is killing me.
Tell Battlekow's mom we all said hello
:D

Shhh
Take a note from TheJay and stop talking about me to everyone

Jim and Bob not sounding optomistic that this one will get played
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
Officially postponed according to the radio network
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
The Brewers did not lose tonight!
Hooray!
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
I heard
that Yost is still going to let Kendall bat tonight around 10 Eastern. No rain delay is going to get in his way!
soggy grit!

that'd be
pcuk
as dirt → grit (add 3 to the first letter, transpose the middle letters)

ESPN delayed as well
“Bonus coverage” can be fun, but I wonder if there is no other game to watch other than Royals and the Indians.
If there really is no game...
… I hope they skip Soup and let CC pitch on his 5 days. I think it’s more important at this point for him to start against the Phillies than the Cubs. A win may be a win, but a Phillies loss is a bigger deal than a Cubs loss at this point.
I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

No thoughts on skipping Parra?
I know Soup isn’t have a great year, but Manny could probably stand to have an extra few days rest.
I have these thoughts.
You get to knock a few innings of the total, Soup’s been pitching better than him in the past few starts (note: I do not think Jeff Suppan is better than Manny Parra). And I’d trust him for a few innings out of the bullpen in a tough situation.
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
Yeah, I guess that makes some sense.
But I don’t have to like it.

Suppan/Parra?
I think it they are sticking with Parra mainly because of the match up against the Phils big lefty bats (Utley/Howard). I agree that Suppan has been pitching better as of late though – and he does have the experience and history of pitching well down the stretch. Tough decision.
Doubleheader on Sunday
Says the official site:
The Phillies’ front office preferred that the makeup game be scheduled for Monday, an off-day for both teams. That would have offered ace Brett Myers an opportunity to pitch on regular rest. Instead, he will come back on short rest to pitch one of Sunday’s games.
“We want to play Sunday,” said Brewersmanagerinfielder Craig Counsell, a member of the players union executive board. “We want to keep that off-day [Monday]. … People might not understand this, but there’s value in them.”
The Brewers got to make the call because playing on Monday would’ve meant more than 20 games in a row, which requires player association approval.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I wonder how the TV contract with FSN works out
We don’t get to watch tonight and probably won’t see the make up game.
so
if Moyer can go on 3 days rest, can CC. The Wednesday game was during the day and he could pitch the nightcap on Sunday.
excellent
therefore, it won’t happen
Yost is conjuring an even more better idea. (Somebody, save us.)

Kendall will undoubtedly start both games.
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
"People might not understand this."
Now Counsell is telling us we have no concept?
He is manager material.
Wait, what?
I am extraordinarily anti-Suppan. And Gagne. I am anti-gagne, too.

Don't ask why but
I’m watching some of the replay of a late September 2007 game on FSN now. BA mentions that the Brewers had hit 43 home runs to date. I’d settle for 43 doubles for the remainder of the month now….
