Game Thread #PS minus 3: Cubs at Brewers
Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 26, 2008 7:05 PM CDT
We're still tied for the wildcard, and both the Mets and Brewers are one game behind the Phillies. Here's the situation this evening:
- 6:05 CT: Nats at Phils, Balester v. Blanton. For good measure: the weather report.
- 6:10 CT: Marlins at Mets, Volstad v. Pelfrey. At the moment, it's not raining outside my window (a few miles from Shea), but it looks like that won't last.
- 7:05 CT: Cubs at Brewers, Dempster (for 75 pitches, anyway) v. Suppan. I think we can live without a weather report on this one.
The lineup is the Sveum-era vRHP usual, and Hardy is in there. It'll be interesting to see which Cubs regulars are starting, and how long they last.
Go Brewers!

Jeez, Jeff
At the moment, it’s not raining outside my window
You know, everything doesn’t have to be about you.

yeah, yeah
but it IS a pretty good indication of whether it’s raining at Shea.
and remember, I can only blog from my mother’s basement, so the available perspectives I have to work with are limited.

Hardy has a tweaked thumb and Durham has a strained hamstring. We just need Prince to have a dinged up shoulder and Craig to have a sore knee and we’ll be set!

jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
I honestly have no idea.
DeRosa definately will be out, because of his injury in the Mets series. Soto still has hand swelling, I think. Theriot should definately play, because Cedeno got hurt in the Mets series as well. Beyond that, it’s like casting bones figuring out what Piniella is thinking.
Time to get Suppan fired up
Tell him that with every Cubs win, $5,000 goes to stem cell research.

Favorable sequence of events
Rain delays at least one Mets games until Monday, and a playoff can’t happen until Tuesday at the earliest. That would be Yovani’s fifth day.
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
i think he was on short rest for saturday
so Friday would be supershortnonexistantrest

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Prince
Its announced that a junkballer is on a pitch count, so three guys make outs by waving at head high balls? Yost would probably be limp and do nothing, but will Sveum and the staff coach them at all? Too late I guess.

"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!"
ahh...k
you could name it after a cub for the duration of this series.

is he getting hit hard, or have the hits been pretty lucky? From the boxscore, it seems like he doesn’t have it and is lucky to have only given up one.

I was at the last game
Gagne ptiched the eighth against the Cubs. 4 pitches, three outs… The last one was scary, but an out none the less.
i'll settle for the tiebreak game if YG isn't available.

Yeah.
He really walked the tight rope tonight. But thinking back, it’s tough to say he just got lucky. He had that charom of his foot go to Prince for an out, but if it had gone through it might have been a double play. The only other instance of obvious luck I recall is that slash by Dempster that went right to Counsell. He got some huuuuuge strikeouts when he needed them, which quite frankly is a little shocking. I’m not saying he’s suddenly become Sheets or anything, but it’s tough to find the bad in his outing tonight, other than the fact that he was pulled in the 5th.

They did have a nice run at the end there. The hurricane seemed to end it though.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
I remember shaking my heads at their mid-season moves...
… wondering why they thought they were still in it. Their 2nd half run is even more impressive when you consider how much of it Carlos Lee missed…
I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

They'll go to their graves convinced that they got screwed out of the WC by Bud Selig...
… for rescheduling those home games in Milwaukee…

because
they are so much better than the Cubs and it really matters where they play
September 15: Not a bad little Monday
McClung choked up in his interview with Trenni...
… when he was talking about how glad he was to have been traded here and to get the opportunity to pitch in a game like that…

Seriously?
I turned it off. This guy is on a mission.
Yep.
They commented on his emotion after the interview, which confirmed (to me anyway) that I wasn’t imagining it.

Really easy to root for that guy
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
Sure is.

All throughout the season, I’ve just thought that all he’s wanted was to be useful to the team and to be trusted. It looks like Sveum just gave him the ultimate chance, and he pulled it off. I’m so happy for him.
I listened to the last three outs on my way home from work. I did record the game and I’m still watching the Suppan portion of the program. :)
Forget Suppan
McClung was awesome. The only think missing was him intensely slamming back whatever is in the gatorade cups with both hands like he did in Wrigley.

I guess I really did miss something by not recording those games. Drat.
I just want to see the first run, even if it means having to watch Dempster and his glove flip. You know, if not for the fact that he throws junk and isn’t over 6’5" and roundish, I’d think that Doug Melvin had him in mind for the staff in 2009.
Nah
I bet Doug is going buy low on yet another pitcher from his time in Texas.

If the Crew clinch tomorrow
Does Rivera play on Sunday, or is it Vinnie Rottino day at the park?

Got to get him ready for the playoffs in that situation

well
if he wants to go to the library to check out another book, all he has to do is climb his back fence and he’s there
no wonder he wanted that property. Nevermind that it’s probably the largest non-lake drive (and non-east-of-lake-drive) lot in Whitefish Bay. It’s all about proximity to the library.

Next year
They have to offer a Kendall bobblehead.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Which should come with a package of grit (like how Man… or Astroman sold space rocks).

They should just have action figures
It would be like the old wrestling action figures. Each player will have a special move. Kendall swing an axe
Speaking of Corey the Hitman Hart,
He told Jim Powell that he’s going to call Dan Uggla and tell him to pump up the Marlins to win tomorrow.
not sure if people haved talked about it, but seems like dale made all the right calls tonight

Rickie on Baseball Tonight
Talking faster than he usually does if you can believe it, but he did insert the Brewers phrase of the month, “it is what it is.”
