Game Thread #PS minus 4: Pirates at Brewers (tied!)

PrintPittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 25, 2008 7:05 PM CDT
Once again, the situation merits a wrap-up:
- 6:10 CT: Cubs at Mets. Harden takes on Pedro. Rain is in the forecast--a lot of it--so we'll see what happens here.
- 7:05 CT: Pirates at Brewers. Zach Duke against the returning hero. Duke hasn't had a QS against the Crew since 2006.
- Phillies have the night off, and since they lost yesterday, they currently sit 1.5 ahead of the Mets. That, of course, means they're also 1.5 ahead of us, which is close enough to make the Mets-win-East, Brewers-win-WC scenario plausible.
Focusing more, though, all eyes will be on Yovani Gallardo. If he pitches well--especially if the Mets lose tonight--it will be one hell of a story. It's impressive no matter what happens. It isn't quite Kirk-Gibson-homer territory (we are playing the Pirates, after all), but then again, there aren't a lot of clutch Brewers moments that would better it.
Go Brewers!

I don't think Duke will be much of a problem
It always seems like Cooter is the one that really messes things up.

Note to reader:
we didn’t enter an alternate universe in which the Brewers and Pirates are tied in overall standings.
Although, one could argue that at this point we’re tied at 0-0 in this game.

Note: since Weeks Post-All Star Break is .265/.385/.446 I will riot if he isn’t batting first or second. The only reason I’m not rioting if he doesn’t lead off is I’m already resigned to the suckitude of batting Cameron there.

Hey is this the open thread?
I was told there would be pie and sex with dead chicks jokes ;)
On a more serious note is anyone a bit worried about only getting 2 hits last night?
Great they won but 2 hits off a Pirate starter makes me worry
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Nah
You can only get so many hits when they’re willing to walk you nine times. Every starter but Braun and Hart got on base at least once, and I consider the former an anomaly and the latter nothing new.
Torres has been a little concerning lately though.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Don't attack the poor guy

Oh well, Yost got his.

Mets weather
Here is a weather page. Looks like they’ve got about an hour or so of dry weather to get things going. Any better weather maps?
Thanks for that link
I would assume they are going to at least start the game then. That is kind of perfect if they get through two inning or so and then the rains come for like three hours. Make the Cubs fly here late and burn the pen and make the Mets use an already taxed pen.

I haven't watched Harden too much
but Gameday doesn’t have a single fastball from him over 90 mph. I wonder if he’s just doing that to save wear on his arm, or if he’s getting fatigued.

that lineup is brutal. Is it a requirement that a “representative lineup” is played? Where does that term come from?
the mets announcers said they would play through the rain to try to get this one in

Sacrifice bunts
I was thinking about Sveum’s obsession with sacrifice bunts, and I thought I remembered a discussion here about how the likelihood of scoring goes down when you sacrifice (what you gain in advancing the runner, you lose in giving up an out). Is that right?

there was a story in one of the NY papers
about the Braves game. They were watching last nights game after theirs and they were all cheering them losing and mocking some video that’s shown at Shea I think.
Nice job being fast, Corey

It's nice that Yost is gone.
But then replacing him with someone from the Dusty baker academy might be frustrating in time.

There we go.
Cashews isn’t that bad. I’d go with the singular form of the word, though.

Maybe we should let small ball sit this one out

Where's Dixie
and his wonderful bunting research on how it’s NEVER a good idea
I just sit back and root for the taser
It was nice to ignore that press conference
Where Sveum was talking about how he was all about the small ball.
For a while there we were so happy that Ned was gone that I pretended not to hear.

How can the Brewers avoid scoring this inning?
Dale must really not want to have his winning percentage as a manager to go above .500 for the first time.
