8/20 Other Games

[kujay]

Houston @ Milwaukee, Rodriguez v. Parra, 1:05 CT.

 

Pittsburgh @ St. Louis, Davis v. Wellemeyer, 7:15 CT.

 

A couple more days like yesterday and these threads won't even be necessary anymore.

Having a game that matters during the afternoon always makes the work day go faster. Hopefully Wandy and the Stros can abuse Manny Parra like Prince Fielder.

You have no idea. I'm playing out the string here before starting a new job on Monday.

 

So I can't go home but I have no motivation. So I watch mlb.tv.

Wandy against the Brewers in Milwaukee? I don't think its going to be very pretty, I'll be amazed if he makes through the Brewer lineup once.

What's our Magic Number?

What's our Magic Number?

 

31 for the division, 28 for a playoff spot.

[David]

They were saying on the radio yesterday that it's fair to start counting down the magic number at 30 (like in the papers and stuff like that).

 

I actually saw a bar with the magic number out on their sign on Friday night.

 

 

Personally, I think anything before 10-15 is too soon.

Agreed. So that'll be, what, probably around September 5? Even if we and MIL go .500 over the next 14 days, that would get us to around 15.

[David]

Milwaukee up 1-0, 2nd and 3rd with nobody out in the first

[David]

2-0 on a Fielder sac fly

[kujay]

Thanks for nothing already, Wandy.

 

What the hell kind of name is Wandy, anyway?

 

Wandy and Yunel should slap fight to the death.

 

2-0 now on a sac fly.

[gflore34]

Well, color me shocked, I thought the Brewers would have had 5+ on the board by now ...

[kujay]

Deep sac fly for Fielder, 3-0 Brewers now. Houston needs to wake up.

[CubInOK]

FSN Houston always plays this Spanish music when Tejada gets a hit.

 

2nd and 3rd 1 out for Houston now. Top 4.

[ctcf]

3-1 now.

[David]

Berkman with some stupid baserunning doesn't score the second run

[CubInOK]

Berkman scores on an Abercrombie single. 3-2 now.

[David]

Single by Abercrombie scores the run anyway..

 

1st and 2nd with 2 out.. 3-2 Brewers

[ctcf]

Berkman scores on an Abercrombie single. 3-2 now.

 

Booya. At least Houston is making a game out of it.

[CubInOK]

Bases loaded now. 2 outs. Sadly, it's Wandy up.

[ctcf]

And he K's. What a jerk.

[C.C.]

Meh! Wandy K'd.

[Choonch]

At least it's a game...let's go 'Stros!

[David]

Loretta walks, advances to second on a wild pitch

 

Tejada up, 2-0 with runner on 2nd and 1 out

[kujay]

Astros are making Parra work and he's starting to have some control problems. Keep the pressure on him guys!
