7/31/08 Cubs (Harden) at Brewers (Bush): 1:05 CDT

[GormanHarvey]

So if they bean Fielder it means Cameron could have a shot at striking out one more time during the homestand.

Now you just went and made me laugh. And thats saying A LOT right now!

[joepepsi]

Is it time to start playing for draft position yet?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

What happened with Gagne'? Were they trying to hit 'em?

 

So Yost burns another arm heading into the weekend to prove his manliness after the team got their butts kicked. This whole baseball machismo thing is pathetic.

[ozzybourne]

I just think its sad that it has taken this long for Ned to tell one of our pitchers to brush someone back in this series. They have been diggin in and hackin away for the last 4 games

---------------------------------

I have been saying this for the last couple years. Another well timed move by Yost--this should have been done by Benny in game 2, not last inning of last game.

[bucks2281]

This platoon must stop.

[eanelson4]

So, who do you have in the WS? I'll take the Angels over the Cubs.

[fondybrewfan]

I guess if we are going to lose might as well go out in grand fashion. What did we get outscored by this series? Eleventy Billion to 3?

 

Jeesh. At least it is over

[lukevan]

There's still a little time to flip Sheets and Sabathia for some prospects.

[danmam]

Boy, I'm glad we're using our main long-relief guy in the ninth inning of a 9-1 game when a starter who sucks is pitching tomorrow.

 

What a genius that Ned Yost is.

Good point. I was actually hoping to wake up tomorrow and hear that Soup had been scatched for McClung

McClung wouldn't have pitched tomorrow anyway, as he'll be starting on Tuesday (vs. Volquez...= LOSS)

[GormanHarvey]

McClung wouldn't have pitched tomorrow anyway, as he'll be starting on Tuesday (vs. Volquez...= LOSS)

I thought maybe the great Ned would let Seth go tomorrow and then start Rivera at catcher on tuesday only to have Jason Kendall be the starting pitcher

[SeriesFinale]

I know this is ultimately wrong and bad, but right now I'd love to see Mark A go Steinbrenner on these guys and angrily call them out in the press

[Bruce Ciskie]

So McClung's not available tomorrow? That's another reason this platoon is stupid. Every time you switch from one to the other, you render both unavailable for a couple games, leaving Shouse and Villanueva as the only guys you can really use in long roles if you need them.

[SeriesFinale]

The ultimate indignity: they're pitching Eyre against us.

[joepepsi]

Well, Branyan and Rivera will be fresh for the bench tomorrow.

[Brun Beyl]

Meltdown time.

[hawing]

This is what the with-it kids call being pwned...right?

[adambr2]

Now how did Prince get tossed?

[B2k1121]

That was awesome.

[And That]

Prince yelled a slightly more profane version of "horsecakes" at the home plate ump at least 7 times. Then after he was ejected, he pointed at Eddings, and said "One more time! Horsecakes!" Classy...

[bucks2281]

He continually barked at the HP umpire. Pretty obvious what he was saying if you were watching on TV. Hope he doesnt face a suspension.

[SZBrewerFan]

He was whinning and crying about a called strike. He kept carrying on and got tossed, but made an ass of himself in the dugout while he was at it. Prince it is not Doug Edings fault you just got your re-end handed to you. Maybe it had something to do with your play and that of your teammates.

[SeriesFinale]

Way to finally show some fire three games, 8 innings and 1 out into a humilating 4-game home sweep crushing, Prince.

[bbaehman]

Frustration...thy name is Brewers

[adambr2]

Time to put on those Sombreros, here comes Kameron again.

[bbaehman]

Now the Cubs face a depleted Pirates club
