    Managers/teams can't challenge. The umpires decide to look at the replay themselves.

    I guess when he keeps dominating, his exploits could become humdrum and cease to amaze. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    As opposed to other players' normal reactions when they pop it up?Yes, it's different. It's almost as if he expects it at this point and he's a beaten man. Most other players either: a. don't care because they know it's an anomaly, or b. throw the bat and are hopping mad showing that they expect better from themselves.I guess I'll defer to you, then, as I'm not an expert on determining the status of a person's psyche by viewing them through my television set.

    It's always nice to see "In play, run(s)" on our first batter.

    Plus, not that they are necessarily overconfident or anything, but CC + Pirates = probable reduced need for lots of runs. Besides, it's not like we have a crap lineup out there.

    Jim Powell is awesome. In talking about Pujols flapping his gums about Villanueva waking a sleeping giant: "If it takes a middle reliever (to get you fired up)...then you don't have a giant to awaken."

    Suppan has thrown a few pitches so far. EDIT: But hey, I see zeroes on the scoreboard, and that's what counts.

    Hell of a pitcher's duel in Houston.

    I'm torn on this. I mean, if the Phils can beat the Cubs in both games this weekend and we sweep, we'll still be 5.5 up on the Phils and "only" 4.5 back of the Cubs. We'd still be a long shot to win the division, but with 6 games left against the Cubs, we'd still have a chance. At the same time, I wouldn't mind putting the Phils way back in the rearview mirror.

    I like Durham and all, but good god, man.

    If the Brewers don't absolutely collapse in the final month, I'll eat my shirt if Ned doesn't finish in the top three. It's one thing to hate Ned, but it's a bit delusional to think that he wouldn't finish in the top three. When the manager of the poster child for small market teams (ever since the phrase was coined) has the 2nd best record in the NL, he's going to get serious consideration for the top spot much less the top three. I don't hate Ned (don't love him, either), I just wrote who I thought would be the top three. I didn't say those are the ones I'd vote for.

    Crap. I just realized that St. Louis is going to miss both Webb and Haren next week.

    Albert's only hit a Single. That's pretty classless. Didn't help your team.

    Bush is Houdini. Hopefully will get quicker Innings rest of game.

    Ryan Braun's a nice Jewish boy. I'd marry him If I were a girl.

    Meh, we stink at home against the Cubs, anyway. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    I think CC/Sheets versus Zambrano/Harden is pretty much a tie, except that CC can eat up innings in a way that Harden can't. I think Bush/Suppan and Marquis/Lilly is pretty much a tie, as well. Where the Cubs have the advantage in the starting rotation is Dempster over Parra. Parra is great when he's on, but as we've seen, he's had control issues which have cost him the big inning sometimes and have limited his innings because of high pitch counts. Dempster, in the meantime, has shown no signs of slowing down and is regularly going 6,7,8 innings and giving up 2 runs or less. So, overall, I'd give the slight edge to the Cubs for starting pitching. Their big advantage is their relief pitching. I feel better about our relievers than most, but the Cubs do have a pretty big advantage there. Marmol and Wood on the back end, a guy like Cotts in the middle, and two very solid long relievers in Lieber and Marshall make it very hard to come back on this team. But anyway, this is a wildcard discussion, so back to it.

    Our pitching, up and down the roster, has been pretty damn good lately, even with Riske's bad inning. If we make the playoffs, I would not feel bad at all seeing Bush or Suppan go out to the mound. Overall, the Cubs' pitching seems better to me, and their hitting obviously is, but I wouldn't count out our starting five.

    The Pittsburgh Pirates Are terrific ball players For me to poop on! http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1637/triumph01nl1.jpg

    I still want someone to show me how Braun is a showboat. He had the infamous strut against Houston (which seemed to be directed towards a teammate) and he admired his go-ahead shot against St. Louis. Other than those two, he's seemed fine to me. Everybody, aside from the Punch-and-Judy hitters who are never sure if the ball is going out, watches a homer for at least a second. Yeah, Fielder does tend to watch his, but I can't think of a single monstrous power hitter like him who doesn't admire his 450-footers. Bonds, Dunn, Griffey, Howard, Pujols, Man-Ram...the guys who hit no-doubters on a regular basis almost always pose a little. In my opinion, that's part of the entertainment of sports. But Braun, I just don't see it, aside from those couple instances. As for our team not being "classy," let's see...Hardy, Hart, Cameron, Braun, Counsell, Sheets, Suppan, and Hall are all really nice guys, as far as I've heard. I don't know much about Kendall, but he seems to be kind of quiet and very well respected. Don't know much about Weeks, but he seems well liked. We all know Fielder doesn't talk all that much to the media, but I've heard he's a generally friendly guy (except when he almost caves a teammate's face in). And we all know CC is a model citizen.

    I don't remember exactly, but I am guessing it had something to do with a comment he made about how he should have won the MVP, not some other guy. I know, real specific.If it's that, it was in reference to Ryan Howard winning the MVP a couple years ago. "I see it this way: Someone who doesn't take his team to the playoffs doesn't deserve to win the MVP." Then he said he never said that, that Howard deserved the award, and that he was angry at how his quote was spun. Also, when Tom Glavine pitched 7 innings of shutout baseball against them in the 2006 playoffs, including holding Pujols hitless, Pujols' comment was, "He wasn't that good. He wasn't good at all."

    Found this article from two seasons ago, talking about Pujols showing up a pitcher. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2421881 Amongst several great things in that article is this gem at the end: "Pujols and Gary Bennett, now a backup catcher with the Cardinals, clashed a few years ago the day after Pujols hit a winning extra-inning home run against the Padres. La Russa has no problem with Pujols savoring the moment. "Absolutely not," the manager said. "How about how hard he works every day and how he cheers for his team when he's 0-for-4 and all these other million things he does right? "Somebody says he lingers at the plate? That's real tired.""
