9/25/08 Non-Brewers IGT

[thablingster]

Cubs bullpen giving me the rut rohs right now. Please get through this inning, Howry?

[thablingster]

Now I know the pain of Cubs fans watching Bob Howry. Guh.

[tigerbrew]

Bob Howry Sucks!

[crewcrazy]

No wonder the word "Howry" is interchangeable with "poop" on NSBB.

[danzig6767]

How did the catcher miss that tag?

[thablingster]

Good job being crappy, Bob.

 

Hoffpauir doesn't get to bat this inning. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[danzig6767]

Church was a dead duck at the plate and the catcher flat out whiffed tagging him

[tigerbrew]

Come on Lou, bring in A-Ram and D-Lee to bat in the 9th.

[Bernman23]

Is Marmol injured or are they just saving him? If they're saving him and then pitch him against the Brewers that's bush league.

[thablingster]

Casey, bunt so Lou can PH for Fukudome. lol

you're joking right? the clubs have played very hard against the mets and have a chance to take 3 out of 4 in a series that means nothing against them. marmol has logged a ton of innings, and the cubs have earned the right to rest him. hopefully they can put a run on the board right here and shut them down in the bottom of the ninth

[crewcrazy]

Marmol's thrown like a million innings this year, so it makes sense that they wanted to rest him this series. Piniella has already said that he's not going to rest his players quite as much against the Brewers because he wants to make sure they'll still sharp heading into the NLDS.

[brwrsfan]

Marmol hasn't pitched in the last couple close games, that's annoying. And how come the Cubs have no problem with perfect relays/tags when they played the Brewers last week? He was dead meat at the plate and he flat out misses him. Lead off hit for Fontenot...let's hope the Cubs have one more left in them.

[giffted1]

If I were Lou I wouldn't want to use Marmol on a wet mound.

[crewcrazy]

Because it was Geovany Soto behind the plate, and not Koyie Hill, who's a career minor leaguer.

 

It's frustrating to see the Cubs blow this lead, sure, but if the Brewers had taken care of business earlier in September we wouldn't even have to worry about it.

They reserve the right to do so ethically, as long as they don't employ a double standard against another team in playoff chase, like the Brewers.

[tigerbrew]

Come on Lou, bring in Soto to bat for Koyie Hill.

[thablingster]

Intentionally walking Fukudome is probably the best thing that could happen for us.

 

Provided Koyie Hill doesn't hit into a DP someone decent has to bat, unless Lou goes nuts and pinch hits Jason Marquis or something.

[thablingster]

Daryle, do something against someone other than us, please. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[tigerbrew]

Come on Daryle Ward!

 

Edit: nevermind you suck.

[Dmiles23]

This is not good. Lou is not going to play or pitch any of the regulars with all the rain they are getting.

[crewcrazy]

Top of the order due up for the Mets. I don't think we're getting the wildcard lead tonight, which kinda stinks. It would've been nice to head into the Cubs series with a one game lead...that would've given the Brewers the cushion to go 1-2 in the Cubs series and still realistically force Game 163 if the Mets won 2 of 3 against Florida.

 

I guess the good news is that Florida's regulars are better than the Cubs' AAA team, and the Cubs' AAA team managed to split this series (assuming the Mets end up winning this game).

[datrain711]

bad feeling about this game, but i also don't have a very good feeling about our game either.

[brwrsfan]

The Mets should be thanking their lucky stars if they win this game...in any other situation, at any other time of the year, this game is called way before this. That rain is much more than you'd see teams play in, especially for 1-2 hours now. Let's hope the Mets revert to last nights form!

[wibadgers23]

Kevin Hart facing the top of the order. This can't end well.
