    Philly probably coming all out at this punt.

    Orton not exactly running an efficient 1-minute drill here.

    Man, how good would the Bears look had they simply been able to hold two 17-point leads against Carolina and Tampa? Both those teams are now 3-1, and arguably the best teams in the NFC outside the East.

    You don't really think one of those guys should be on the roster instead of Marshall based on just tonight, do you? Marshall should be in before all of those guys. And Wuertz wasn't lights out. He walked Craig freaking Council with the bases loaded to put them ahead. Oddly enough, I'd rather have had Howry pitch to Counsell and Wuertz pitch to Braun. As stats go on the year, Wuertz has been the Cubs fourth best reliever this year by ERA+. Much of that is due to before he was wrongly sent down. His control has been howry-ty since he came back up on 1 Sep. Howry is the only other guy I'd rather not see then Wuertz in the playoffs if there are already any guys on base. In the eight appearances Wuertz has made since he's come back on September 1, he's allowed a walk in four of them. He's allowed a hit in three of them, and a run in one of them. That time was on two hits and a walk vs. Cincy before Marmol came in and gave up a granny on the first pitch in a game the Cubs won 14-9.

    Fun fact: When you have more leads, you are more prone to blow saves. It's like leading the league in double plays.

    You mean, 4-4, seven games on the road, resting their entire lineup 3 times, averaging 5.7 runs per game, and highly limiting pitch counts for the guys that matters? No, not worried.

    Just because he's on the roster doesn't mean he'll get into a game. Well he got in today. Everyone and their grandmother got in today, though.

    I'm almost amazed that a pitcher can be that consistently bad despite not walking anyone.
  10. bukie
    Braun/Fielder going to get their shot at Howry now. If the game is still tied after that, I'm not sure what else Lou can do to prevent the game going to extras.
  11. bukie
    Brewers trying to give Howry a free out out of courtesy.
  12. bukie
    Sabathia will be out there until his arm falls off. Well, hopefully there's runners on when that happens, because I'm pretty sure that's technically a balk.

    Flyball, deep to ! This ball's got a chaaaaaaance.....gone!

    For some reason I am extremely amused when watching Gameday catch up to the current pitch, and like 6 pitches fly at the batter at the same time: Ball, Ball, Foul, Ball, Foul, Ball. Kosuke Fukudome walked. Good eye, Fuku, fouling off both pitches in the strike zone and letting the other 4 go by. That's some kind of bat control.

    Marquis will most likely relieve Zambrano tomorrow after 1-2 innings.
  16. bukie
    Even if expected, though, it can still be disappointing. Doesn't make what the Cubs have done this year not be great, though.
  17. bukie
    And that means you're not letdown? That's absolutely absurd. No, it means that the team losing doesn't necessarily mean a letdown. It can still be disappointing, but not all that absurd.

    Even if Florida should lose today, any SEC team will have multiple chances to get back into national title contention by the end of the year. Heck, 2 losses isn't out of the question.

    I'm actually a little disappointed Felix isn't in the lineup today. Would be nice to get a few good looks at him before the postseason and/or next year.
  20. bukie
    OK. I agree with pretty much all of this. This is the first time I've watched Ole Miss this season, and they look at best an 8-4 team. I can't decide if Snead is good or not just based on this game. To me, Florida has looked overrated both times I've watched them. Tennessee isn't that good, and Florida should have put at least 50 on them. Considering how the BCS computer ratings are calculated, there's no motivation to run up the score on anyone. Although, with how they currently overemphasize human polls, maybe there is motivation.
  21. bukie
    Fair enough, should have said "prior to their loss".
  22. bukie
    For the Brewers, yes. For the Cubs, no.
  23. bukie
    OK, how did you come up with your list? And if you didn't, who did? BTW, Ole Piss about to punt. His list was based off numerical data from Sagarin's predictor, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. I can only imagine what USC's odds to go undefeated would have calculated as prior to last night.
  24. bukie
    Numbers don't think, they just report. Now, as far as flaws in the model, that's another story.

    the dodgers have furcal back not to mention blake and manny i am starting to believe we all might be in for a tremendous let down in a few days The Cubs have Soriano back not to mention Harden Some people need to realize the games this week mean very little, and the Cubs still have gone 3-3 on the road against teams fighting for their playoff lives.
