What is this lead of which you speak?
Isn’t Lead a city in South Dakota?
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
Who woke up the Pirates offense?
15 runs? lets hope they’ve gotten that out of their system
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
My guess
Is that he is just doing his off day throwing that he would do in the starting rotation.

I don't like taking Villy out here
His change is good against lefties. I don’t want Stetter against a pinch hitter here either.
I like the move
of forcing Lou to either leave the L to L matchup or take out Edmonds for 3 innings

you might break his hip
that osteoarthritis kicks in at about his age
I just sit back and root for the taser
Again
Please get on for Fielder. The new lineup should be whoever can get on base in front of Fielder from now on.
FUNNIEST THING I'VE HEARD ALL WEEK
Hi, I’m Ty Detmer, you may remember me from such NFL Films like “7 INTs in one game?!? NO WAY!!!” and “HEY!!! WHERE’S BRETT FAVRE’S WATER?!?”
I just sit back and root for the taser
Smart announcer comment
With the Nats down by 4 and a leadoff baserunner, the Nats announcer says,
“Now you give Dukes a chance to hit a 2-run homer.”
Hmmm…
Ouch
that could hurt
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
nice hit Prince
wow – en fuego
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
Nice start
Prince still on 1B. Set up perfectly for Hart to blow it after a Hardy fail.
I am pro-Rodgers
Are the Cubs pitchers this stupid?
Prince is the only guy hitting in this whole lineup? Why the hell would he ever see a strike?

What's going on with Sheets?
I missed everything!

apparently
the diagnosis is tightness of the labia

Forearm tightness.
Which is code for significant elbow injury that will cost him millions this offseason.

Frank and/or Joe with an RBI
I could never keep the Hardy Boys straight

Anyone else feel like the Cubs really don't give a damn if they lose this game?

this is a garbage game for Lou
Marquis starting – second line relievers being used
Don’t tell Brian and Bill though or maybe they’re just trying to excite the viewing audience
True.

Maybe this game will be the turning point in our offense that we need.
That hit for Corey might get him back on track, Prince is on fire, hopefully JJ and Braunie can pick it up a bit…maybe we can get on a big roll to end the season.
Bye Ned!
Hmm...
… four more runs should do it.

With a five run lead.
Does anyone think we should pinch hit for Kendall, though he is probably our best defensive catcher?

Ugliest. Sacrifice Bunt. Ever.

9-7
I’m calling that a morale victory here. They could definitely choke it all away.
I am pro-Rodgers
Shocking.
The nat’s third string catcher, hitting .083 on the year (note: 1/3 of counsell’s average) struck out to end the game.
Nice aggressive move
Thought the foot got in.
Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of death rode the Brewer's bullpen.
Fateful words
Hopefully that won’t matter.
Quite a hope when Eric Gagne’s pitching.
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
Yep.
Bad slide by Corey.
So Lou’s running out his second line relievers at us, down since the 1st, after finding a way to get 6 out of a struggling starter, and knowing we’ll blow through our pen after losing Sheets after 2.
Safe to say he’s playing for the series win tomorrow. Not that I’m complaining under the circumstances.

Astros exploding
Ike probably the big reason, but I wonder if Selig can travel to Houston without a lot of security.
I say we keep battlekow out of gamethreads until we lose again.
Who knows, he might be bad luck
Bye Ned!
Ole
Nice snag A-Ram

Interesting use of Mota here
I wonder if Torres gets the 9th too.

To someone who knows a little more about these things
What are the chances Braun gets a gold glove in Left?
My only regret is that I have but one life to give to my blog
Somewhere between zero and the chance Counsell outslugs Pujols.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on Sep 17, 2008 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions
So you're saying there's a chance...
That’s what I figured, but I don’t really know how they decide those things so I had to ask.

making matters worse
non-CFs rarely get awards. I think that has changed a bit in recent years, but it has to be somebody with a rock-solid reputation in a corner, like Ichiro.
Also, cheese.

The Brewers have gotten the shaft in GG awards for a couple of decades now.
While they’ve gotten some attention recently and there are signs of respect for the franchis, I don’t think they’ve risen to the point where we can expect one of our guys (even Braunie) to get an award he really doesn’t deserve.

why not let him in there to pitch a game? give him some experience for the stretch.
