  2. So while I'm a little off, I did say in the RR thread that Kotsay would probably go 2-3 with a 2B, BB, 1 RBI, and 1 R.
  3. Kotsay will probably go 2-3 with a BB, 2B, a run, and an RBI now.
  4. This from ESPN's Jayson Stark: "Whitey Herzog once said the two things a guy needs to succeed in the managing biz were a sense of humor and a good bullpen. Well, here's the proof: If all games had ended after the eighth inning this year instead of the ninth, the Cardinals would be leading the Brewers by 4½ games instead of trailing by 5½." Wow.
  5. If you get so upset about athletes accepting tens of millions more dollars to play for another team, perhaps pro sports just isn't your thing. Don't get me wrong, I will actually be a bit sad if Prince leaves, but I can't fault a guy for moving on if a team is going to back up the truck for him.
  6. I can still hear the TWIB music in my head. The best was when Ted Simmons was on The Baseball Bunch. A BREWER as the special guest on a TV show! I remember he showed how he could write his name on a chalkboard with both hands.
  7. There's been an all-Brewers commercial featuring a mix of the current team with the 1982 team running for a week or so now. I think I saw it on MLB Network. EDIT: And what do you mean "they know something?" Like whoever puts together the commercial brought back a sports almanac from the year 2015?
  8. Nah. Think of it this way. Not counting tonight (for ease of math), if the Brewers win just one game in each of the remaining series, the Cards only need to lose one in each of their remaining series for the Brewers to clinch. And the Brewers aren't going to lose every series.
  9. I want Hawing's opinion on this since most of the rest of us are dudes: with his flowing locks and facial scruff, where does Braun rank on the sexiness scale right now? Like an 11 out of 10? I mean, I'm married with two kids and totally heterosexual, but even I'm seeing it at this point.
  10. I think they did it so the lighting around home plate will be even in both halves of each inning.

  12. It wasn't lazy. He misjudged where exactly the ball and Prince were and thought that Prince had a better play.
  13. Think of it this way: the run scoring drought has come at the perfect time, as the corresponding hitting resurgence will be in the playoffs!
  14. I am shocked that YuniB rolled over a pitch on the outer half of the plate and grounded to the left side.
  15. I like ESPN's hit animation on its Gamecast, but my lord, the pitch locations make no sense at all. I have absolutely no idea what the grid represents, as based on the balls and strikes and their comparison to MLB Gameday's locations, it almost looks random.
  16. At least now he finally has something positive to discuss with his progeny.
  17. [Pulls out the certificate with ticket] Lower Grandstand, Section 23, Row 1, Seat 13 $10. Wow.
  18. Forget that. Let's play Atlanta so I can go to a game or two. EDIT: Wait! How about a compromise! Atlanta in the NLDS and Arizona in the NLCS!
  19. So...uh...what's the magic number?
  20. And 4-10 is very unlikely, as well. I mean, obviously the Brewers are in trouble if they finish terribly in their final 14 games. Most teams would be, as well. That's why I'm not considering that possibility when I think about how much trouble the Brewers are/are not in when it comes to making the playoffs. I look at what a reasonable scenario would be and go from there. We have the Rockies, Reds, Cubs, Marlins, and Pirates remaining. They all suck. I'd be shocked if the Brewers finish worse than 6-8. And in that very disappointing case, the Cards would have to go 13-3 to tie. That's not going to happen. And if it does, well, it was completely unexpected and I hope we win the one game playoff.
  21. Of course they could go something like 2-12 in their final 14, but despite their recent struggles, that's still VERY unlikely. The point of the whole "if they go .500" thing is that with the Brewers remaining schedule and the fact that they are a good team (and especially with their pitching), a .500 record is an extremely reasonable record to expect, at the very least. Thus, given something that shouldn't be all that hard to achieve, it puts into perspective how tough it would be for the Cards to catch the Brewers. Obviously, the team could completely collapse and miss the playoffs. Obviously, the Cards could just go insane and only lose one game or something from here on out. But those scenarios are extremely unlikely; I prefer to stick with scenarios that are within reason.
  22. Funny, my parents came to visit a couple weeks ago and my dad brought my old "I saw Robin Yount's 3000th hit" certificate along with the ticket stub. That was a fun time. He needed three hits going into a three game homestand. I remember the games were on school nights, so I was shocked when my dad said he was taking my brother and I to all three. He said he wasn't going to screw up the chance to see history just because we had school the next day. My mom took a risk and decided to wait until the third game to go. As we all know, that worked out, as Yount got #3000 in the third game.
