9/24/08 Non-Brewers IGT

Atta boy Mark!!

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright 5-3 now still two on and only 1 out. Lets go Cubs!

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Tied game and with the Mets pen I'm feeling pretty good.

[giffted1]

I'd bet the Mets refuse to move the game time tomorrow, so they get rained out and can rest their pen.

[Big]

if it's a race to the bottom of the bullpen, NEAL COTTS (and his 1.41 WHIP) will go bad pitch for bad pitch with pretty much anyone the Mets throw out there. Cubs need some insurance runs imo

[imblotto]

Is anybody else watching this on mlb.tv? Its weird, I'm in Milwaukee and usually (always) Cubs games are blacked out.

[statman0007]

Double play! 1st and 3rd with no outs and can avoid damage with 1 more out!

[tigerbrew]

Nice Job Kevin Hart!

[Brily0204]

Bench-clearing discussion in the Braves-Phillies game. Any guesses as to which former Brewer pitcher was at the center of it?

[moofnelson]

yuck. bases loaded walk. tie game

[giffted1]

Dang it Lou. Why walk the bases loaded?

[crewcrazy]

SCREW YOU JEFF SAMARDZIJA.

 

Bases loaded walk ties the game. Here's to hoping the Cubs have another comeback left in them.

[tigerbrew]

Jeff Samardzija Suck!

[giffted1]

I say screw Lou. Let Samardzija pitch to Endy .640 ops Chavez.

[lukevan]

Lou, why intentionally walk the bases loaded? There's one snafu that Brewer fans would've been all over Ned for.

[crewcrazy]

Luis Ay-ay-ay-ay-ayala and his 5.47 ERA in to pitch the 9th for the Mets. Too bad the Cubs have the bottom of their order up.

[owbc]

Cubs bringing in Howry.

 

Oh well, we'll have to try and get that game back tomorrow.

[crewcrazy]

Bob Howry is Chicagoan for "Derrick Turnbow".

[dpapo]

Gee, thanks Lou. First he walks Chavez to load the bases with two outs and now he brings in Howry to face the heart of the Mets lineup. So close to being tied, darn!

[owbc]

Who is Daniel Murphy and why is he on 3rd base?

[crewcrazy]

Leadoff triple for the Mets. Not gaining ground tonight, I guess.

[derflotr]

2 hits.

[dlk9s]

While I would not have IBB'd Chavez, I can sort of understand the reason for it. If he hits a grounder, you have to get him at first base. He's fast, so any grounder that's mildly tricky could very well result in an infield single. Plus a guy with 2 AB's all season was coming up.

 

That said, I think a tricky grounder with bases loaded could result in an infield single, too, especially since the runners would be going on contact. While I disagree with the decision, I can see the argument for it.

[dlk9s]

2 hits.

Wrong thread.

 

Plus, we won, so it really doesn't matter.
