2009-05-09 Cubs (Dempster) at Brewers (Gallardo): 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 12-6]

[PrinceEatMeat]

That's probably it for his career now. Sad, but true.

[SeriesFinale]

The Cubs are an absolute MASH unit right now--I'd almost expect another position player to pitch here a la Janish this week with the Reds if the Brewers start putting runs across here.

[derflotr]

Ugh, poor Chad Fox. That's got to be devastating.

[PeaveyFury]

Never a good thing to see someone's career possibly end like that. I guess ripping Milwaukee when he left the Brewers angered the baseball gods or something...

[derflotr]

Man, there is no strike zone.

[SeriesFinale]

Bases loaded, no outs. Trevor's probably looking for a comfortable place to sit right about now.

 

Then again, these are our Brewers...

[SeriesFinale]

Turnabout's fair play. We've gotta walk, what, 4 more in on them now?

[logan82]

Very nice to be on the other side of 4 straight walks.

[phxMILWfan]

I wish Macha would have pinch hit for Duffy right after he swung at that pitch. Dude, 4 walks in a row. It wasn't even down the middle. (Strike 1)

Good job, Duffman! I wouldn't mind a 4 or 5 spot here to just salt things away.

I didn't like Fischer holding JJ there with Kendall and Coffey coming up but what can you do...it would've been a close play at the plate and we don't need having JJ ramming into any more catchers as he starts to heat up

[SeriesFinale]

Wait, when did Coffey dye his hair too? I missed that one, I thought it was just JJ and Corey

[thablingster]

I love how Coffey takes two steps backwards as the pitch comes to home plate. Yet, Heilman still almost threw him a ball. Awesome.

 

Series, Coffey dyed his hair in spring training.

[pebadger]

It's been a long time since the switch, but tonight reinforces the fact that I don't miss American League baseball at all.

[ttsather]

Todd Coffey - taking a step back with the bat on the shoulder. Better than a DP, I guess.

[Ennder]

Wait, when did Coffey dye his hair too? I missed that one, I thought it was just JJ and Corey

He did his in spring training, he was the inspiration for the others.

[PrinceEatMeat]

He didn't dye his hair. It just looks black because he's sweating.

[SeriesFinale]

I'm glad to see that Coffey is such a big team guy--McClung seems to love this stuff, too. What is it with these big redhead relievers?

[SeriesFinale]

I thought Duffy was gonna give us a new "Jenks catch" a la Wrigley April '07.

[Gobias Industries]

Nice win. Always love beating up on the Scrubbies.

 

Weeks needs a day or two off. I can't recall the last time he's looked as bad at the plate than he has the last 3 games.

[SeriesFinale]

Man, between the injuries and the way they've lost these first two, you gotta think the Cubs will be ready to get out of MP tomorrow--hopefully Soup can redeem himself tomorrow and we get the sweep, you gotta kick these guys while they're down.

[hawing]

That was one nutty game. I'm glad it's over, and went in the Brewers' favor.

 

Edit: SeriesFinale, I'm glad you mentioned that 1999 'light delay' game at County. Some of the chatters tonight thought I was mis-remembering the 2001 Miller Park light-out.

My favorite part of the 1999 light delay was when everyone started taking flash pictures of the darkness. (Of course, then I did too.)

[logan82]

Weeks looked bad? He had 2 hits and a walk tonight.

[Teatoe993]

Mitch Williams whining again about untucking em.

[T B0NE 10]

"i'm not worried about the brewers because they'll finish under .500, but seriously, there are other teams we should worry about. "
