9/26/08 Cubs (Dempster) at Brewers (Suppan): 7:05 PM CDT

[Team Canada]

I'm starting to get excited.

[Trowekamp]

By the way at this time last year I would have puked if you would have told me I would be saying keep McClung in to win a game to get the Brewers to a playoff. Hopefully next year at this time I will be pushing for Rickie to play all the times.

[Team Canada]

Another AB for the Clungster. Make sense, save the BP for the next 2 games.

[danzig6767]

I think I'd stick with McCLung. This is obviously his last game of the regular season and we might need all the RP we can get in the next 2 days with Sheets and Sabathia both starting in less than ideal conditions.

I agree, but i'd have Torres at least loosing up from the start of the inning just in case Seth loses command, don't want to get caught trying to stall if he lets the first hitter or two get on

[Trowekamp]

Also the bullpen has pitched a lot the last week to get them to this point.

[iluvlamp]

Damn you McClung! Do something!

[iluvlamp]

I say Gagne should be warming up too. He is on a mission from God.

[hurricanecrush]

That last crowd shot made it look like all the Cub fans left.

[brewerjamie15]

I'd say if anyone reaches, pull McClung. Yes, No?

[iluvlamp]

I feel like puking. I have never felt like this...except college but I mean sports-wise...

[Trowekamp]

I say Gagne should be warming up too. He is on a mission from God.

Something else I would have puked on 2 months ago. Don't you love baseball.. you are guaranteed to look like a genius and idiot and everywhere in between over the course of the season.

[iluvlamp]

Jamie...No. He seems pretty balls to the wall. Maybe if two get on with no outs or one out.

[trwi7]

That's pretty impressive that McClung got outs throwing a high pitch speed of 0 mph.

[Trowekamp]

I would say 2 hitters.. 1 runner has not impact..

[hurricanecrush]

Clunger is pissed and ready to rumble. Let him try.

I'm not sure why but this made me think of "No more yanky my wanky, the Clunger need food!"

 

Good nickname by the way.

[thablingster]

Well, Jim Edmonds can't hit a 5 run HR here.

[iluvlamp]

I am giddy. *pinch*

[trwi7]

Well, Jim Edmonds can't hit a 5 run HR here.

 

*Crosses fingers and looks in baseball rule book to double check.*

[hurricanecrush]

Uh oh... 2 outs and nobody on... this is when I get worried with this team.

[Trowekamp]

Rickie hits a home run and makes a fielding play in the 9th? It is destiny the Brewers are going to the playoffs.

[iluvlamp]

Make em him hit Clunger.....

[moofnelson]

I take back 8 percent of the negative things I've said about you Rickie!

That made me laugh loudly

 

It made me and my wife laugh. And she doesn't even care about the Brewers.

[pebadger]

Was at a HS football game tonight. Got home to the TV just as Rickie was taking the curtain call.

 

Cool thing was, at the football game there were huge cheers for both of the previous Brewer runs, and the guys in the press box were also giving Met updates.

 

The emotional 180 from last Friday night in Cinci to tonight is stunning.

[iluvlamp]

oh come on!

[giffted1]

And to think we used to call this guy McDung. Hell of a game, Big Seth.
