    Agreed 100%. That's a must. Personally, I'd keep the foot on the pedal until next Friday, except for setting the rotation up however Lou wants it. If you give the position players and relievers too many days off we'll be pretty rusty going into the playoffs.

    Yep, that's what makes him so good, all those fastballs let him throw in such a range that the speed blends together with his changeup speeds.

    IMHO, the real key is going to be going .500 against the Brewers in our 6 games against them. If we do that and don't completely suck against the Astros/Cards/Mets we should be fine. .500 against the Brewers and .500 against the Astros/Cards/Mets clinches, even if the Brewers win their other 9 games against the Phillies/Reds/Pirates.

    They *HAVE* to get a couple of these games in somewhere Sunday/Monday, otherwise it's really going to screw things up.

    This boggles my mind, living right in-between Chicago and Cincy.

    I see no reason why clutch would exist in every other sport and not baseball. Certainly the effect is less in baseball since there's a pitcher you have to hit, but it's obvious that some guys excel in high-pressure situations, both pitching and batting.

    We made it... 33 over now \:D/ .

    It's basically a scam investment group that they paid off Aaron to be associated with. One of those firms that will probably cut payrroll and milk the team for all it's worth. They just care about profit.

    The big key to winning the division is going at least .500 the rest of the way, and especially in the Brewers series. If we can at least split those 6 games in that series, the math starts getting a lot better.

    If Guzman would replace Howry, we'd have a bullpen of 100% converted starters.

    K! Cubs win!

    Reds announcers mentioned he hasn't allowed a run since the ASB break. :shock:

    Hmmmm, Len says 94. Game Day says 82 He had 82 through 6, 94 through 7.

    Real nice job of framing that by Soto, although it was clearly a little off the plate on the replay.

    Aram = clutch as usual

    Marlins being teh stupid and walking D-Lee.

    With their schedule, i wouldn't put it past the Brewers to finish that way. 40 games left means what, 18 starts for Sabathia? 19 games left for Brewers with teams over .500 2 more games @ LAD 2 games @ InBev Stadium v.s. Cards 3 games v.s. Houston 3 games v.s. Mets 3 games @ Philly 6 games with Cubs Cubs have 27 games left with teams over .500 2 more games @ FL 4 v.s. Philly 6 v.s. Houston 6 v.s. Cards 6 v.s. Brewers 3 @ Mets Cards have 21 games left with teams over .500 2 v.s. Brewers 3 games at Houson 7 with Arizona (3 away/4 home) 3 v.s. Marlins 6 games with Cubs

    No instant replay for bad calls when the manager slowly walking out to the ump and arguing takes longer than the play review would.

    Best part of the game was the epic "Paper, Rock, Scissors" game in the bleachers between World Series of Poker Champ Phil Hellmuth and a fan (each put up $100). It was hilarious.
  21. Fro
    You can't trust Howry because he's the only arm in the pen that's not a converted starter Cotts, Gaudin, Marmol, Marshall, and Wood have all started ML games (and the last 4 have been pretty good starters) That leaves Shark, who was starting in AAA.
  22. Fro
    They're doing well this year, but if Lou hadn't come around to the fact that OBP is important they'd still be clueless. Cuban's very much a SABR guy, so the "Red Sox of the NL" is a good analogy.

    I think the only benefit is more potential TV $$ for a primetime game than a day game.
  24. Fro
    We really need to pad up a good lead because the last half of September is going to be tough (6 v.s. Brewers, 3 hosting the Cards, 4 at Shea).

    Fielder kicked out! LULZ!
