9/12/08 Brewers (Parra) at Phillies (Hamels): Postponed

[wibadgers23]

Manny Parra versus Cole Hamels




Go Brewers. Please score some runs.

[SpaceBadger16]

It's raining pretty good here in Philly. My crew is already scrambling to rearrange tailgating plans. We'll see if the game gets rained out or not.

 

If it does get rained out, I suppose it would mean an extra day of rest for Hamels. But more importantly (and annoyingly), it would be the second Brewers road game I've attended this year that was canceled because of rain. There's really something to be said about the roof at Miller Park (even though it's not perfect).

I'm going to my first Brewers game in 13 years tonight! SOOO PUMPED. Better not rain! Leaving now, hopefully the traffic isn't bad.

[Oldcity]

Parra hasn't had a good outing in awhile. I'd appreciate one tonight.

[TauPentaRei]

I'm making the drive to Philly from NY in a bit. I'll be there for the next three - really hoping we get tonight in.

While it would have been nice to win last night, we still only need a split here. Take 2 of the next 3 and we're fine. Manny is due for a good start and our offense is due to break out. No better time than the present, let's do it!

I'd be happy with just one win this weekend. If we need the split and don't get a win tonight, we're looking at a slippery slope.

 

Hopefully Hamels gets left in for one batter too many like the last time we saw him.

[Mr QL]

So what inning do we break up the no hitter?

[billyhallfan]

the first...probably hardy

[bucks2281]

Unless we win, that magic ain't budging until Sunday.

 

Manny Parra: please, please, please pitch well.

[hawing]

Back in April, I remembering posting in this forum about how the Dave Bush-Cole Hamels matchup certainly didn't favor the Brewers on paper. But they played the game and won.

 

Come on, Brewers. You can be heroes, just for one game.

[crossface21]

Wow, just looked at the weather radar for Philly. Not looking good for tonight unless they plan on waiting a long time.

Game called no makeup announced yet.

[diener34]

Is this good news?

 

It certainly cant hurt.

 

Kendall gets that day off, the bullpen gets a day off.

 

The fans get a day off.... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Mental Health day.

I don't know if this is official, but Trenni reported earlier that Ned had told her that if a game needed to be postponed this weekend, it would be made up Monday night at 7:00pm local time.

"Ned had told her that if a game needed to be postponed this weekend, it would be made up Monday night at 7:00pm local time."

Monday, interesting. So pitch CC Monday against Philly or Tuesday vs. Cubs. I say Monday.

[jjfanec]

handicourt said in his blog that the second or third hand info he had said the game would be made up as a double header on Sunday. I like the Monday option better because CC can go in this series then.

[bbaehman]

PITCH CC MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bucks2281]

I heard that Yost told BA that Sabathia would NOT pitch Monday in the event of a postponement.

 

I don't know the specifics, but there's a chance there'd be no TV coverage for the second half of the DH on Sunday.

 

It's too bad that we just can't skip these games altogether.

Trenni mentioned that the Brewers and the Players Association have to give approval for a Monday game as the Brewers will have played 20 straight days. And yes as the previous poster said Trenni reported CC wouldn't pitch if they played on Monday as Yost wanted him to pitch in the Cubs series.

[Mr QL]

We didn't lose today, moral victory!

[SeriesFinale]

The frustrating thing is the Astros, Cubs and, it appears possibly the Cardinals aren't playing either.

Yeah there are quite a few games in a delay now and they're showing the Red Sox-Blue Jays on ESPN now and it's raining there. They're already playing a doubleheader in Boston tomorrow so I think they're trying hard to get this game in tonight.

I like having CC having an extra day of rest. If that wasn't the case, Yost prefering CC pitching against the Cubs instead of the Phillies is just idiotic. We're in a battle for our lives to make the wildcard. A division title is just a very far-fetched bonus.
