  1. Every time RRR makes a dumb decision, 100 puppies die.
  2. I wasn't doom and gloomy up until last night. I don't believe that the 90 win Cardinals are inherently a better team than the Brewers, but it's become readily apparent that our manager is going to manage these games as if it's mid-May and we can just come back and 'get em again tomorrow'. Using McGehee against Motte in the 9th inning when still down only one run, while Green, Kottaras, and heck, even Counsell were all still on the bench was both sad and predictable. Take 2 strikes looking (right down the middle), and then swing and miss at something out of the zone, and Casey delivered right on queue. The Brewers certainly have the talent to win 3 out of 4 from the Cardinals, and heck, let's face it, any team can get 'lucky' and win 3 out of 4 (it is just one win above the mean, after all), but if this series comes down to a managerial decision (which it very well could, if it already hasn't), we're doomed.
  3. Yah, I have no doubt that the Brewers are not done scoring, but neither are the Cardinals.
  4. At thsi point, I'd be satisfied if Yo were able to just pop a sac fly here and cut the deficit in half.
  5. Carpenter's definitely not looking sharp tonight. The question is can Yo/bullpen keep the Cards off the board enough to give the offense a chance to come back? I am voting 'no'.
  6. This Cardinals team is NOT a Juggernaut. They won 90 games. They needed an EPIC collapse by the Braves to win the WC on the last day. That's what makes this so ugly. This is NOT an unstoppable force that should be so overwhelmingly embarrassing the Brewers, yet that's exactly what it feels like. This is a great hitting team with decent starting pitching, bad outfield defense, and a crap bullpen. Yet the 96 win Brewers have a manager who's managing like it's a throw away game in mid May, and every last one of our starting pitchers looks like a deer in headlights lately. If you listen to the fans and media, Chris Carpenter is Walter Johnson, Albert Pujols won't make another out the rest of the series, and the Cards should be expected to score 10 runs per game.
  7. I have to do a sleep study tomorrow night, and I was getting all bent outta shape about not being able to see the game. I'm starting to not feel all that bad about it.
  8. What makes me almost sick to my stomach is that this is almost what I expected tonight, and really, there was no logical reasoning behind it. None whatsoever, and yet I'm completely unsurprised by the turn of events here.
  9. This completely sucks. PITCH HIM INSIDE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. This team is pissing this series down their legs, and it's tied 1-1 in the bottom of the first in the third game.
  10. We're in the first inning, and one team is making stupid outs on the bases, and one team is taking advantage of opportunites and taking extra bases.
  11. Bench him, for god's sake, you can NOT make that kind of idiot mistake in the playoffs.
  12. I see Carp has his good control tonight. And no, I don't believe for a second that that was a purpose pitch. Tony looked PISSED.
  13. There have been times........good grief, where I've wanted to break the rules and curse here......but this makes me not even care if I were to get banned. Yes, RR may very well get lucky and Kotsay go 2 - 4 and nobody hits a ball where the difference between Gomez and Kotsay would make a difference, but WHY take that chance? This is just plain idiotic. Id-i-otic
  14. KOTSAY in Center? ZOMGWTBBQ~~~~!!!!!! Jesus on a pogo stick, what is RRR thinking?
  15. While I certainly agree that the small sample argument applies (and I HATE 'vs. team' splits), I don't think you can just dismiss that Marcums' been awful lately, and it may well be due to the fact that he's reached an innings total that he's never topped before. He may well have reached his physical limit. That being said, Narveson may well not be the answer either, but I don't think it's a simple case where you can say "Pff, the last month is a small sample, it's just bad luck", given the presence of other data that may suggest it could be that Marcum's just hit the wall.
  16. It'd be real interesting to see how much Milwaukee would embrace Nyjer during a 75 win season if he behaves the way I'd expect him to during a 75 win season.
  17. I've heard many times from many different sources that Ueck is kind of a jerk in person. I don't care. All I care is that he entertains me on the radio.
  18. It seems like every crap start we've had this postseason (which is every start except the 2 games started by Gallardo), it's "Well he didn't pitch bad, except 2 pitches", or "it was a bunch of bloop hits and then one bad pitch". When is it just bad pitching? Marcum is pitching like crap. He's hanging everything up, his changeup has no movement on it, and his fastball is straight as a string. I know there's some that want to basically say everything is bad luck, but Marcum's been awful since the beginning of September, and it's not all attributable to bloop singles and happenstance bad pitches when there just happens to be 2 or 3 guys on base.
  19. Zone looks a little bit......bigger tonight than it has for most of the rest of the post season.
  20. There's nothing to say but Marcum sucks right now. He gave Alberta 3 pitches to hit in that at bat, defying the 'you get one to hit in every at bat' logic. If Marcum's turn comes around again in this series, it's time to give Narveson a shot.
  21. Having K-Rod has been fun, and incredibly exciting, but my heart won't miss him when he's closing for someone else next year.
