    Keep in mind that Branyan had been hitting pretty poorly for a while since his blazing start. (Arbitrary date range coming up...) Since the start of July, he was hitting .209/.286/.341/.627. Yes, I know Counsell has been as bad or worse. The best option is probably a simple Hall/Counsell platoon and honestly, I'd lean towards playing Counsell more because of his defense. While I'm excited to see Gamel some day, I just don't think giving him significant time in a playoff chase, especially with his Roger Dorn defensive ability, is that good of an idea.

    Nobody is arguing that the Brewers don't have a good chance at the playoffs. They are, after all, 3.5 games up in the wild card chase with a month left. But to say that we're a lock and there's no way we don't make it...well...I need to get the number of your dealer.

    So you are mad that Weeks K'd on nearly the exact same pitch that Braun did later on. Does this means Braun sucks now? That was a good pitch by the pitcher all Weeks and Braun could have done with those pitches were foul them off. If they looked at them the outcome would have been the same it was a strike. I don't live in Wisconsin, so I didn't get to watch, but I do agree that not every single out made by our guys is some huge failure on their part. Sometimes the pitcher actually *gasp* throws a good pitch. Similarly, just because the opposing team scores a run doesn't mean that our pitcher is a reject.

    Well, I guess the Cardinals deserved to see an opponent's bullpen blow one against THEM for a change.

    Man, tonight's win will be even sweeter after that 8th inning. I'm not too concerned about this game if we lose, but...what?
  6. dlk9s
    August 26, 2008 1st inning: Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out....single, RBI 3rd inning: Runner on 3rd, 1 out....ground out, RBI 5th inning: Runner on 2nd, 1 out....K 7th inning: Nobody on, 0 out....single 9th inning: Runner on 1st, 0 out....single 9th inning: Runner on 1st, 2 out....ground out

    Agreed. And 14 wild pitches this season? Yikes. He'll figure it out.
  8. dlk9s
    I just wish it was a different pitcher. Then again, we beat him down last time. For those of you whose MLB.com Gameday has frozen, ESPN's is working.
  9. dlk9s
    Yeah, I don't think we're catching the Cubs unless we win at least 5 of 6 against them.
  10. dlk9s
    If the Cardinals don't absolutely collapse in the final month, I think LaRussa gets it. Piniella will be second, Fredi Gonzalez of the Marlins third.

    Except that the old logo is one of the greatest logos in the history of sports and should have never been eliminated.

    I was just thinking that it would be pretty cool for the Brewers and Geoff Jenkins to square off in the playoffs.
  13. dlk9s
    I bet you hate it when a band you like gets popular because you "heard them first." This is my favorite part: a) Good for him. He was probably pretty excited to go to his first game. b) Whatever. I don't like beer. Does that make me a bad fan? c) Not many people do.
  14. dlk9s
    Yeah, those 7 road games are little scary, but I don't see how you can say that you actually don't think we'll make the playoffs. It's definitely possible that we don't make it, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find another person that will even say, right now, that our chances are better to miss the playoffs than make it.

    If we win the series against the bad teams, without sweeps, that will be 11 games (2 wins twice vs Reds, 2 wins twice vs Pirates, 3 wins vs Padres). As our magic number to clinch the wild card is 26, that means we would need a combined 15 Brewers wins/Mets losses and 15 Brewers wins/Cardinals losses. IF we can take care of business against the bad teams, I like our chances. Now, say we lose the Cubs, Phillies, and Mets series, without getting swept, and lose the final game against the Cardinals. That's 4 wins, bringing the magic number down to 11. It would take a major effort by the Cards and Mets to go 19-11 the rest of the way. Tack 2, 3, 4 more wins onto my scenario and now the Cards and Phils would need an extraordinary final month. So, basically, take care of business against the bad teams and tread water against the good teams and we have a really good shot at the playoffs (not that we don't already). Just a little fun with numbers before I go to bed.
  16. dlk9s
    Well, that's it. We're going to lose 5-1 tomorrow because of this outburst.
  17. dlk9s
    Aw man, now we're not going to score tomorrow.
  18. dlk9s
    That Fielder is pretty disappointing.
  19. dlk9s
    The Cubs are poised to win tonight. Zambrano showed he is just as much if not more of an ace than Sheets.
  20. dlk9s
    Jim Powell says Durham has a strained right shoulder.
  21. dlk9s
    Well, that's one run. Sheets better throw a shutout now to prove his worth in the eyes of his god.
  22. dlk9s
    Hey Ben, you'd better throw a shutout against the second highest scoring team in the NL...or else!
  23. dlk9s
    At the very least, they should at least have the kid play a different position. At the very least.
  24. dlk9s
    Tuffy Rhodes hit 3 HR on opening day. 12 total bases > 10 total bases. Therefore, Tuffy Rhodes > Chad Moeller. Therefore, Tuffy Rhodes belongs in a better HOF.
  25. dlk9s
    I went grocery shopping when the Pirates had 2 on, nobody out in the 12th, assuming we were going to lose (I didn't want to go - I had to do it before baby's bed time). Boy, was I happy to see my little prediction came true. http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/4133/0824promo150x200gf9.jpg
