9/20 - Brewers (Suppan) vs. Braves (Bennett) 6:35pm CT

I would really enjoy the NL playoffs if it were the Cubs, Pads, D-Backs and Phillies. I could root for any of those teams in the World Series.

 

Padres are pretty lame. Other than that, I like the rest of the teams. Obviously I favor one of the others. :lol:

 

Also watch out records against those three teams, losing records against all of them.

Huge for Raisin too since he wants SD to win the West so he can see the Cubs at Petco in the playoffs.

 

Don't ask why Raisin is speaking in third person.

The first weekend in October is Columbus Day weekend and 4 days long for me. If the NLDS happens to go to a fifth game and it's played in SD on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday that weekend, I'm probably going to be heading down.

Both NLDS Game 5's in the first round are on Tuesday, October 9. Games 1 and 2 for both NLDS series are on Wednesday, October 3 and Thursday, October 4. Those would be the road games for the Cubs in the first round.

Yea, I saw that and was not amused. I wonder if there's any way the Cubs can play the Padres AND have home field advantage...

 

Ah, forget it. I'm fresh out of excuses to avoid helping my mom move that weekend.

You would have to come watch the games with me? (Assuming the Cubs make the playoffs, that is.)

 

I'm not sure if that would be a good enough excuse though.

You know how you always hear about position players that come into pitch during blowouts and make some of the hitters look foolish? Well, the aforementioned J.R. Towles hit his 2-run HR off Aaron Miles today.

 

Also, this was Miles' second appearance as a pitcher this year. He also pitched an inning in St. Louis' August 4 12-1 loss to the Nationals.
