Billy_Buck

I half expect Buck to say something like, "If you're the Brewers, you have to figure out somehow, someway to get Hader back in there." OK honestly, more than half.

Maybe Chacin on short rest on Friday? Why not? He'll probably toss 5-6 shutout innings. Dude, get real. CG SHO 10K.

Would Jon Lester even know how to use an iPad? I know he tweets, but I just have always figured his wife does it for him. I picture him with a flip phone or something. If it was Jon, I am not sure it was him [expletive] on his teammates. If anything, I think he is really pissed from a competitive standpoint of not staying in the game. Yeah, I have a hard time picturing him crack his knuckles and say, "now it's time for daddy to parlay those 6 strong innings into a high score on Candy Crush."

The quality of at bats seemed to deteriorate by the week over the second half. It really was amazing. Fingers crossed for some good luck come hot stove season.

Dang

Was thinking same originally. But maybe the Contreras cramping means Caratini is coming in regardless, so may as well bat him.

Load them for Hamels. Bud Black gives 4 fingers by complete accident, Hamels awarded first, Cubs win.

YEAH BABY!!!

Fun fact: Cole Hamels once threw 9 IP of no-hit ball at Wrigley Field. He may have to do it again. Tonight.

Whoever called Cole Hamels starting the 10th inning of the Wild Card game for the Cubs back in spring training, come down to claim your prize

I've always loved these ex-battery mate matchups. "I know what you'd call here, so I'm going to cross you up." "I think you're probably going to try to cross me up, so I'm going to sit on that." "So I know what you think I'm going to use to cross you up, but I'm actually looking to the other side of the plate..."

Just so happy that the Cubs scored a run. Champagne for everyone!

tsk tsk :yahoo:
