Lilly vs. Manny scares me much, much more
-
Why should I be nervous? We have a little better than 1/8 chance of winning the World Series, so a loss is to be expected. What would be unexpected is a World Series victory.
-
Relax chum, on the bright side the Mets will claw and gnash to get in, and the Brewers will calmly disembowel our B team and then promptly get squashed
-
It was so amusing seeing them jump and down on the mound, like they won the world series. It was almost cute. Seriously? Give them a break. They're tied for the final playoff spot and just had a walkoff win. yeah i'm not begrudging them for celebrating, but i was listening to the game on WFAN and the guy was talking about how the mets have hung in there and come back after falling behind, and he was building up all the drama.... it's just hard to take seriously when they're barely beating a team that's not trying to win. not gonna give them a break right here going to have a nice night on the town, ciao

It's been a long time since he had 2 hr in a single game. I'm just saying he makes the play. In no way was that a commentary about Hoffpauir's night. Not to mention the 'double' by Church in the 4th was a play Lee probably makes as well

What we learned today: The Cubs AAA team matches up pretty well with the Mets Also Bob Howry needs to be taken out back and shot
-
His at bat in the ninth was similarly brutal I'ma gonna swing at balls in the dirt! Woohoo
-
I'm kinda upset that we put 91 pitches on Harden who kinda needs rest in a meaningless game Yank him...
-
Gotta say, not too happy with the way our 2 best pitchers have pitched lately I would just pull Harden out right now and throw him in a hyperbaric rest chamber and shoot him to the moon then call him back for the playoffs

I'm typically far more positive, there are tons worse on this board. I'm just getting far too many 2006 Cards vibes from this team. I'd almost rather not see them. The worse they are, the more crippled, injured and debilitated they are, the scarier they are in my mind. Obviously anything can happen, but I don't see why you wouldn't have more fear of the Phils, Mets, & Dodgers then. All 3 of those teams carry with them a greater expectation that they could get hot and carry themselves past us than the Brewers. Plus why are you comparing the pixie-dust laden Cards to the woeful 26-year drought Brewers? The two organizations are about as far apart in terms of "miracle production" as you can possibly imagine. I guess since the playoffs are such a crapshoot I fear our team getting overconfident against a weaker team (not that it would really do much to affect the outcome) and the incessant "omg we choked again, blah blah blah" that would come from it. We've had such a great season, its such a shame that everything hinges on a few games in October for all the glory.

I'm getting this uneasy feeling from the Brewers. The more they play, the worse they look, the more they remind me of the 2006 Cardinals. Soon Dave Bush will be 2006 Jeff Weaver, leading them to improbable upset after improbable upset, and we go down in 7 to them. Good lord it would be the worst thing in the Universe.
-
It was all those bad pitchers and Wood, I can live with it as long as Wood doesn't get rusty. Because when Wood gets rusty it means he starts blowing 2 run leads like mad
-
All of said innings were pretty terrible.
-
Mets team is so full of fail its not even funny They are carbon copies of the 2004 Cubs
-
Well glad to see Derrek Lee walking more I'm liking more of what he's doing at the plate lately
-
They are down 3-1. I'm sure Hawk isn't even announcing. The frustrating part has to be losing to a Twin team that isn't all that good. Except the fact that Twins are a really good team. The are 2 games off their PYthagorean Record...So it's not as if they are flukes. Twins are a really good team, prolly better then the White Sox, who coincendentally are playing right were they should be. So don't underestimate the Twins. I guess, the thing about them isn't their Pythagorean, its that they are scoring runs with a really really bad offense. They trot out the likes of Nick Punto, Carlos Gomez, Alex Casilla, just limitless amounts of mediocre to bad players. The only 2 everyday players with OPS's over .800 is Morneau and Mauer

crap its neal cotts
-
Bad Z still here damnit
-
Lame, that was a pretty good at bat for a while
-
I'd love to chip away at this lead because we all know we're getting 3-4 innings of the Mets bullpen of course everytime we salivate at the thought of facing a weak bullpen they retire us in order to end the game
-
You can't be serious. Argh I'm so upset with the lack of offense in a meaningless game and some starters missing
-
I don't really want to wish injuries on somebody, but I sort of hope he rushed his recovery and then hurts his chances for coming back next year He's teh one guy that'll make the loss of Sheets and Sabathia feel better

Being a Brewers fan is probably just slightly worse than being a fan of the Cubs
