9/16: Brewers (CC) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05, CSN

[gflore34]

Why in world did Dempster start the 6th?

[BigSlick]

atrocious management

 

too many pitches on a top of the rotation guy in a not terribly meaningful game with the playoffs coming up, plus very likely could have cost us the game

 

lou is bad at his job

Has anyone told Lou that our bullpen is good now.

[haubrich91]

Samardzija - Marmol - Wood rest of the way?

 

Hey, why is Howry warming up!?

[Brian]

Howry Up? really?

 

Yep, CC will at least get a ND.

[bcl412]

That 1,2,3 inning must have won Lou over yesterday.

[BigSlick]

Welp, Howry is clearly doing sexual favors to Lou Piniella

[rawaction]

Navarro with the walkoff, Tampa takes a 1-game lead over Boston!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Everytime I begin to trust Howry, he goes and does something horrible. Please dont keep that cycle going Bob.

[weatherdood]

Lou must feel really bad for the Brewers and what they're going through. Seems like he'll do anything imaginable to give them this game...

 

Howry???

[17 Seconds]

lolol at Howry probably coming into the game

[BigSlick]

That 1,2,3 inning must have won Lou over yesterday.

It seems like he uses any opportunity to get Howry out of the doghouse

 

He really, really, really likes the guy, despite the fact that Howry is complete Howry

[Schwarber Fan]

Ronny could easily have 3 hits tonight

 

Really tough breaks

What's worse is Howry will be good the rest of the month and than be a setup man in the playoffs and blow

[Schwarber Fan]

Navarro with the walkoff, Tampa takes a 1-game lead over Boston!

 

damn

[ChiCubsFan]

Everytime I begin to trust Howry, he goes and does something horrible. Please dont keep that cycle going Bob.

 

Is that you, Lou? Why in the world would you ever begin to trust howry?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Gaudins now Gone-Dan

Sharks been less than effective lately

Wuertz is awful

Lou Doesnt trust Gusman for some reason

Does anyone out there want Hart or Wells in a 1 run game?

I'm completely honest when I say if Howry blowing this game will convince Lou not to use him anymore, I'm OK with that

[17 Seconds]

Honest question here-

 

Does anybody have any confidence whatsoever in Lou manaing under postseason pressure? Any confidence at all?

[Andy]

Well, this is a bunch of [expletive].

[haubrich91]

Maybe Howry is coming in to throw at CC.

I still can't get over him taking out Z in game one. Especially when Dempster just threw 112 pitches.

If the other 35433 games that he's blown didn't turn Lou against him, then nothing will.

[inari]

You know what, an 8 game lead is a fine time to see if Howry can regain is form. Give Marmol and Woody and Shark as much rest as possible. I'm totally down with Howry here. If he blows it, he blows it.

[Schwarber Fan]

MLB.tv still hasn't cut back to the game... wtf?
