  1. I dont' care how this turns out, I hate Yost for putting in Gagne here.
  2. I have visited the comment section of his blog and I'd flip out if I had to read it every day. Probably worse than the mlb.com forums.
  3. If you look at W3 you find the Brewers with 66.8 wins and the Cubs with 71.4 wins so it should be expected that they are 4.6 games ahead of us which is just about correct. The Cubs have scored a lot more runs than they should have because of a lot of luck with situational hitting(yeah I'm calling it luck so sue me). The Cubs are a very good team but if Dempster slips back to expectations and Harden gets hurt we are pretty darn close to them in overall talent. If Harden stays healthy and somehow Dempster continues to be a top 10 SP we are going to stay a good bit behind them in talent.
  4. To be fair if we had gone off and lost 7 games in a row everyone would have blamed the dugout issue for it without a doubt in my mind. It is a total non issue but people want to read things into everything.
  5. Division winning teams never lose. Face it that is basically what all these complaints about division winning teams say. Every minor little reason for a loss gets blamed on 'division winning teams don't do this' even though every division winning team does exactly what the post says at some point. Sorry but I'm just sick and tired of all the nitpicking over every single loss by the team and saying we aren't good because we lost a game. We have the 2nd best record in the NL and would be leading at least 3 if not 4 divisions in baseball atm even with the flaw that is losing games now and then and not playing perfect every single day.
  6. The Brewers have one of the best records in baseball in close games. Games like these just happen, they aren't some magical thing that division winners avoid. Sometimes you lose close games, fact of life. The Cubs lose close games too, Boston has lost a ton of close games, the Rays have lost close games. Every team loses them division winner or not.
  7. Gee, I don't know, perhaps the fact that he makes between 30-35 starts every year without fail, and has a career ERA just north of 3. Take off the anti-Cub glasses for a minute and look at the numbers. I am not necessarily saying he tops the list. Far from it, but you are an unabashed homer if you can't recognize that he is certainly more involved in the conversation than Sheets. His ERA the past 3 years have been 3.41, 3.95 and 3.22 and going up this year(very luck based peripherals). There is no way Zambrano should be in the same list of true aces as Webb and Santana if you are going to leave Sheets out of the mix. Over his last 3 seasons his ERA is now 3.56 compared to Sheets 3.49 and that is with Sheets having one of the worst defenses in baseball behind him in that timeframe and Zambrano having one of the better. If you compare peripherals Sheets beats him there as well. If you go back 5 years instead of 3 Sheets still beats him in ERA. The only knock that is valid on Sheets has been health and well that is pitching, they get hurt a lot.
  8. All pitchers lose it for no reason at times, that is baseball. I don't understand why so many posters on this forum seem to genuinely dislike Sheets to the point where they nitpick every run he gives up. There are very few pitchers in baseball that can have a legit ERA in the 3.00 range and Sheets is one of them, if that isn't an ace I don't know what is. Saying he doesn't belong in the same list as Zambrano is comical btw, how did he make it in with all of those guys.
  9. The best team does not usually win the world series, getting into the playoffs is what really matters. Once you are in the playoffs anything can happen. Assuming a healthy Sheets and Sabathia I think we have decent odds against any team.
  10. Relying too much on the HR is just a fancy way to say our OBP isn't high enough. He is right, we dont' get on base enough as a team but not much we can do about it. If Weeks keeps hitting well it will help for sure.
  11. He has had a very injury plagued career and plays in Oakland so it doesn't surprise me, just always funny when someone goes all Pat Listach on the league and goes from ROY to a memory in 4 years.
  12. From ROY in 2004 to people not even knowing who he is even though he is mostly healthy this year, my how his star has fallen, heh.
  13. After Dempster went from being a 4+ ERA closer to a sub 3 ERA starter and Ryan Ludwick hit 20 HRs by the all star break I'd say anything is possible.
  14. Weeks has put up a line of .284/.395/.433/.828 since the all star break so I'm still confused as to why people complain when he is starting at this point.
  15. Couldn't you say a winning attitude is having confidence we can beat anyone in the playoffs regardless of whether we are wild card or division champs and a losing attitude is our only shot in the playoffs is to win the division.... I'm more interested in getting into the playoffs than winning the division. If we do both that is great but missing the playoffs is much worse than just being stuck with the wild card so I'm going to stay focused on whatever gets the team into the playoffs.
  16. So going by sportsclubstats the changes in our playoff chances for the day are... +4.6% Brewer win -0.5% Phillies win -0.2% Astros win +1.9% Cubs win -2.0% Cardinals win If the Cubs hold on we go up 5.8% chance. That doesn't include the Mets, Dodgers, DBacks or Marlins who have to have some effect on us I'd think.
  17. Come on JJ end this, Mota is up in the bullpen for some reason so this one ends next inning.
  18. 13 walks and we can only score 4 runs, ug.
  19. Hey Yost, you can PR for Rivera and like just start Rivera again tomorrow or later in the week to get Kendall a day off...
  20. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate bunting, especially right after a pitcher walked someone and when you have two power hitters following.
  21. I probably said that wrong --- she just said she never thought she'd move back to Wisconsin. I thought she said that in a happy way from the way her interview that I read sounded. Like she wanted to live in WI but never thought her job path would take her there.
  22. They never hid anything with Sheets. It is sore, we'll know more after MRI is what they generally say with most injuries. Sorry but the team can't just assume the worse and tell the media the worst. The team hasn't handled injuries any differently than any other normal team.
  23. I saw the video clip on ESPN and seemed like he was just joking around to me. Didn't have any problems with it even if I dislike the man.
  24. I think I missed this history.
