YAY! A Walk!

[Brewcrewin07]

To be honest, I wish Lou would have started this lineup tomorrow against CC when the Brewers face Marquis. The Cubs regular lineup has hit CC well this year. You still have to be confident that he will get it done, but you'd feel much better about it if the Cubs sat everyone tomorrow instead.

 

Looking ahead to a potential 1 game playoff, I actually like the way it sets up for the Brewers, should it get to that. The Crew can throw Yovani on 3 days rest, while the Mets would have no choice to but to throw Niese with Santana going today, he wouldn't be an option, neither would Perez who goes tomorrow, or Pelfrey for that matter who pitched on Friday. That is definately advantage Brewers.

 

Oh well, no choice but to go out and rock Marquis tomorrow, and let the chips fall where they may. Mets fans can't feel real confident with Oliver Perez pitching with the season on the line. Then again, they have rocked Scot Olsen the last two times they have faced him. Should be fun, but hopefully not depressing.

Bill Hall just can't square up on balls anymore.

[trwi7]

You suck Hall.

[pebadger]

I didn't think it was possible to see an offense worse than Michigan's today.

[brewers19]

These announcers are unabashedly cheering on the Cubs.

[pebadger]

Get used to it brewers19. The entire postseason will be a Cubs slurpfest for as long as they are alive.

[PrinceFielder28]

can they loosen up and stop pressing

[Brewcrewin07]

To have ANY chance of coming back in this game, they must get SOMETHING next inning with the heart of the order up.

These announcers are unabashedly cheering on the Cubs.

Yes and it's sickening. I need to hit the mute button and turn on Uecker.

These announcers are unabashedly cheering on the Cubs.

Well Grace played for the Cubs and Lewin went to Northwestern and was with the Cubs in 1997. But yeah, they're horrible.

[pebadger]

In their defense, what have the Brewers given them to talk about?

[adamb100]

woot. No more no no.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Thank God.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Ok. Let's get it going now.

[Kurt]

OK. come on!!!!!!

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I thought Felix Pie was good defensively?

[Careless]

Get used to it brewers19. The entire postseason will be a Cubs slurpfest for as long as they are alive.

Well they didn't have to go out and find a prominent ex-Cub to announce the game. You won't have to deal with that for the rest of the year (I think).

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Marmol? Are you serious? Where was he on Thursday?

[Brewer Fever]

I would think this means no Marmol for tomorrow.

[trwi7]

What the hell? Marmol two days in a row? Screw you Lou. Where was he against the Mets?

[Brewer Fever]

Marmol? Are you serious? Where was he on Thursday?

 

It was raining and the field was a mess. Let's not be whiners. You wouldn't want our manager throwing our best relievers out there in those same circumstances.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Lou Pinella can rot for all I care.

[wibadgers23]

So who will pitch the 8th for the Cubs?

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Probably Carlos Marmol because Lou Pinella is a you know what.
