Good to see Theriot getting back on track.

 

On the same note, Fukudome should start every game the rest of the way.

[BCVM22]

Does it have anything to do with harboring resentment from 1969, or are there other factors, too?

 

Probably split between that and Shea not being the easiest venue for him to get around in. When the Nats played at RFK Stadium, Ron used to skip that road trip for the same reason.

Ok thanks I was going to listen to it but.. Not no more.

This game is a good argument against the notion of "clutch" in baseball. Here, you have a game that means nothing to the Cubs and everything to the Mets, and look what happens. If clutch meant anything, then you wouldn't see this performance by the Mets. The better team the day of the game will always win.

father, i am glad to see you stepping away from the dark side

Heh, not that I believe in clutch at all, but if anything, IMO, this game would just be evidence supporting the existence of anti-clutch with the Mets just "choking" all over themselves in a game that means nothing to the "free and easy" Cubs.

 

But I don't really buy into any of that stuff.

[David]

I hope Geo is ok

ELCABALLO rooting for the Cubs really bugs me for some reason

 

better than rooting for the Brewers I guess

Not as much as it bugs me.

by rooting for the cubs he's rooting for the brewers.

[Hall7810]

He's getting that ground-ball when he needs it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was probably the last of Maquis, but he probably earned himeself a playoff roster spot right there.

For a Brewer fan, it doesnt make any less sense than El Caballo anymore.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 59-23 when they get a quality start.... 35-37 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Coach C]

If my understanding is correct, if the Cubs win today, they own the home-field advantage in the NL Playoffs, correct?

[evv98]

That was probably the last of Maquis, but he probably earned himeself a playoff roster spot right there.

 

As a pinch hitter, if nothing else.

[bukie]

Is it wrong of me to root for a 3-way tie between the Brewers, Mets and Philles, along with a tie between the Dodgers and D-backs?

 

Hell, while we're at it, Twins and White Sox too.

[Schwarber Fan]

Who's hurt?

[ToupeeOnFire]

There goes one of Beltran's ribs.

[weatherdood]

That was probably the last of Maquis, but he probably earned himeself a playoff roster spot right there.

 

He certainly deserves it. I wouldn't pitch him at home in the playoffs under any circumstances.. But his road splits are very very good.... Only Rich Harden has a lower ERA on the road than Marquis' 3.05 following this performance. Dempster is next at 3.22, Z has a 3.77 on the road, and Lilly is in the 3.80s.

[sweetpeteman]

That was probably not the best move by Beltran. Down by six with one already out in the seventh inning, he should probably be a little more careful out there. Sure, great catch, but if you injure yourself when your team needs you the most over the next six or seven games in a game your are already down by six, eh.
