  1. I won't pretend to know the meaning of JJ's "unavailability". Here's my guess: Woodruff warming in the 9th signaled to me that it was Hader's inning. They were either going to lose the game with Hader on the mound in the 9th, or Woodruff was coming in to pitch the 10th in a tie game. This is pretty obviously what was going on. JJ was being saved for today. Woodruff could have gone multiple innings and extras, saving the rest of the pen.
  2. Excerpt from the book, The Chicken Runs at Midnight: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24852392/chicken-runs-midnight
  3. One that weighs about 12 pounds and has an engraving that begins with the letters NL. Nap Lajoie's bowling ball?
  4. Hmm. My daughter has sports practice from 5-8 ET Thursday, basically exactly when the game is going on. I'd prefer not to watch on my laptop/phone, but I guess I'll have to. Maybe I'll turn it off on the drive home and pick it up on DVR.
  5. I wouldn't say anything to the neighbors. Keep in mind that the Cubs could still knock us out of the playoffs. If they get knocked out before us, then have at it. Perhaps invite them over to watch the WC game and cheer with them? Be neighborly? I don't know.
  6. Yeah, I'd go with Yount. As mentioned, the WAR was insane, but even if everything was really close (which everything is, except for WAR), that he was a trailblazer at the shortstop position shouldn't be understated. MLB had essentially never seen an offensive player like him at the position (I'm sure there are some exceptions) AND he was a pretty darn good defensive player, as well.
  7. Oy. Thursday's times are rough for me. Friday is perfect.
  8. I'm so happy. And my 9-year old, who doesn't really quite understand the depths of my fandom or the significance of this game (though I've been teaching him), got to watch the last couple innings and was really into it (except when he missed the first two outs of the 9th to take a dump).
  9. I don't mind the steal attempt to try to stay out of a DP with a struggling Aguilar. The big downside is that the sac fly is off the table.
  10. God, this talk about why Counsell didn't go to the bullpen is ridiculous. Chacin has pitched great. He had a no-hitter until that one pitch.
  11. "I love what Maddon is doing here." What's he doing? Letting his hitters hit and try to score runs?
  12. Hey, when you break up a no-hitter and score one run in the 5th, you need to greet your fans.
  13. His first to ground outs were really nice hits. One just was right at Baez and the other one looked like a base hit, but Baez got to it.
  14. LOL THIS sorry my brewer goggles are on way too tight today. lol. this brings me back to being a kid seeing robin yount go for 3,000 and that exciting 1992 team that just quite didnt have enough gas to catch up to TOR Man, Yount hitting 3,000 was so awesome. I was in high school. I still remember him needing three hits in a three-game homestand to get to 3,000 and the games were all school nights, IIRC. My dad told my brother and I that we were going to all three, school night be damned. My mom waited for the third game, which couldn't have been better timing.
  15. Was it Coach Cooper? He only yelled at me. He didn't extinguish his cigar on my forearm.
  16. I'm guessing that's it, plus big game experience. I was trying to figure out the lineup last night and I thought Perez would be starting in place of Arcia (maybe at 2nd with Schoop at SS, I don't know) and that only one of Shaw or Moose would play. Thought that gave them a good L/R mix, the best offensive lineup possible given the pitcher, and still good enough defense.
