So...

some people will inevitably bitch about how Piniella laid down for the Mets today.

I don’t see the complaint, though, since no one in the Cubs minor league system could’ve pitched worse than Jesse Chavez today.

it wasn't the Iowa Cubs batters that lost them the game

Micah Hoffpauir was kicking Mets pitching from one end of Shea to the other.

It was the usual suspects in the Cubs bullpen who threw that game up.

You should see little of Wood, Marmol, Samardzija, Howry, Cotts and Marshall. Dempster and Lilly will be capped at 75 pitches.

Awesome!

Just got back from the game. Great win, good to see a grand slam. Took them long enough!

Weird weird crowd. It seems the Gagne free tickets caused a massive influx of horrible baseball fans. I was simply annoyed by the idiots around me today, it was bad. My friends boob was grabbed by a drunken idiot, and she also had beer dumped on her.

Getting out of the stadium was retarded. There were ZERO police directing traffic on Bluemound. Add in the idiots and it was a mess. I don’t know what the deal is, but 40k people is just shy of a sell out and yet they didn’t think about traffic control.

And why didn’t they give me the malibu? Jerks!

Hmm - a suspicious use of the passive voice there, Mr. Grabby. :)

from the Post Gazette

The Pirates’ 12-5 record in extra innings had been the best in Major League Baseball entering the evening.

by ol Pete on Sep 25, 2008 11:26 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

and

Milwaukee took 14 of 15 from the Pirates this season, including 12 in a row. That was the Pirates’ worst record against any team since going 1-17 against the Mets in 1986.

by ol Pete on Sep 25, 2008 11:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

and what did the mets do in 86?

it all comes full circle

But wait, that would mean that

The Bosox would have to overtake the Rays to beat the Angels in the ALCS. Not gonna happen.

Powell's call

I thought his call of the grand slam was pretty good. Good emotion, volume, and letting the fans be heard.

Best HR call I've ever heard from Powell

It’s even a mini poem!

“Swing and a drive to left!
Way back!
Way gone!
A grand slam for Braun!”

Just got back from work. Was able to watch it on TV with the sound down and ended up listening to the SportsBubbler game recap of Powell’s call about 6 times in a row. Could probably go for 6 more.

Awesome.

Use the brown eye, ump!

he sounded like a kid when he was making the call, it was kind of funny

this picture was taken BEFORE the game, during BP.

I'm still running victory laps.

I think it’s time we acknowledge the true pinnacle of the evening though: Craig Counsell’s heroic walk to somehow keep the inning alive.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

by ol Pete on Sep 25, 2008 11:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Was it just me or did Counsell show off for the crowd by doing a little bat waggle by the foul line before he stepped up to the plate?

Best Game Ever!

Thanks to our baby, my wife and I got bumped up to the Midwest Express “Best Seats” When the Pirates were leaving the field from Warm Ups I waved my baby and Jack Wilson tossed him a ball (and then Hanel gave him one too).

That was nice of him.

Wait…“waved your baby”? I’m not sure what that means, but it doesn’t sound good.

Babies

You can just make another.

So that was you in those seats. Did they not ask what the baby’s name was or did you not want to tell them. When the announcer introduced the three of you, it sounded kind of weird when he added the ‘and their baby’ part. Like he wasn’t a person or something.

Right!

That’s why you have more than one. You have “Baby” and then you have “Back-up Baby,” in case something happens to the first one.

though I’d recommend a third, emergency baby, just in case.

One important back-up baby rule

If they’re hitting above .300, keep them on the bench in case the baby batting .243 every gets injured or cuts himself trimming his beard.

Don’t forget the situational left-handed baby that specializes in being waved.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

by SRB on Sep 26, 2008 11:33 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

They didn’t ask for the babies name, and there were only two slots on the form they had us fill out (and I didn’t think about it because I was excited just to sit there).

is this the lesson you wish to teach your children?

Have cute kids and use them to get whatever you want?

Actually…that’s a pretty good lesson;)
