    Honestly if i was an astros player and i had to go to milwaukee to play home games after my home got destroyed by a hurricane, and havent gotten a hit in the first 14 innings of the series and its only a 2-0 game, i bunt for a hit

    I think this is a horrible idea for the Brewers. Their team is tight as hell, and they put more pressure on them by firing the manager with 2 weeks to go in the season? I wish the Cubs would have done this with Dusty in 2006 even though we weren't playing for anything.
  3. UMFan83
    Just saw that on BF.net WOW. With 2 weeks to go! I don't think this is going to actually help the team at all unless they all hated him very much.

    I'm late to that party too then... Nothing on bf.net that I see.

    Moehler vs. Cubs in 2008 21 IP 5 ER 17 H 3 BB 2.14 ERA 0.95 WHIP

    I'm getting pretty sick of Brian Moehler.

    And this is a prime example of why I don't understand how he is so well liked on here. I don't think he's that well liked. My opinion on it - love Kasper's contributions, but I can see how people can be annoyed at his voice. I just find it funny, if anything. Brenly, I am completely *meh* on and don't care much about him either way. He's too old school for me and I get annoyed at how he plays favorites and makes excuses for players he likes and picks apart players he doesn't like. It seems like most people on here feel this way, but I could be wrong. I'm meh on Bob as well. Don't dislike him, don't overly like him either. I want him in the booth because he has really good chemistry with Len.

    I didn't jinx Z yesterday by saying "no-hitter" about a dozen times after the 5th inning. Do what you do. I'm obviuosly not going to police, but its your decision. LILLY HAS A PERFECT GAME Obviously if he walks someone or gives up a hit, it's going to be my fault... from 175 miles away, or however far it is, it will be my fault... so feel free to blame me. Its more tradition than a jinx. Listen to it or not, but don't knock anyone for abiding by it or not abiding by it.

    I didn't jinx Z yesterday by saying "no-hitter" about a dozen times after the 5th inning. Guy in my section said the word no hitter after 2 innings yesterday. Even in person karma couldn't derail Z. I was cheering loudly for Z to complete the CG Shutout until the moment he clinched his no hitter :)

    Len and Bob apologizing for the lack of HD today. I appreciate that
  11. UMFan83
    I like it better like this
  12. UMFan83
    Yay already a lot more success against Moehler than in the past.
  13. UMFan83
    BTW, I know we discussed the widescreen/HD thing already, but is anyone elses audio really crappy on CSN?
  14. UMFan83
    Theriot 1-6 lifetime vs. Moehler DeRosa 1-7 lifetime vs. Moehler Fontenot 2-6 lifetime vs. Moehler Cedeno 2-6 lifetime vs. Moehler Just my guess. I know its a really small sample size, but when theres odd playing decisions matchups are the first thing I look at.
  15. UMFan83
    As bad as they've been playing, they will be amped for this upcoming series.
  16. UMFan83
    You mean "if" right?
  17. UMFan83
    Is Garcia good to go or is our old friend Griese going to start?

    Wrigley, 25. Baseball would not be the same if the Cubs didn't play at Wrigley, but I am not one of those people that thinks my love of the Cubs would be any different. I go to modern parks a few times a year, including last night in Milwaukee, and they are nice to go to occasionally. A nice change of pace. But geez nothing can compare to the atmosphere and experience of Wrigley. Those places seem to stale and just not unique. At the very least, if they had to build a new ballpark, please let it be either on the existing Wrigley location or in that neighborhood. Nothing can top having a ballpark placed in the middle of a thriving dense city neighborhood. I know the hood hasn't always been like that, but since it's improved over the past 25 or so years, its added to Wrigley's allure and awesomeness.

    i thought that hill had a 97 in 06. He had a 92 according to ESPN.

    There is almost no conceivable way that we blow it with still 10 games remaining against Milwaukee and the Mets (who are a game up on Philly, thus a game up in the WC technically) If we went 6-9, requiring Milwaukee to go 12-0, The Cubs would have to go 0-6 vs. Milwaukee and 6-3 vs. the Mets, Cardinals and Astros. Amazing. We can control 10 numbers going off the magic number this week Monday - 1 Tuesday - 2 Wednesday - 2 Thursday - 2 Friday - 1 Saturday - 1 Sunday - 1 Win today, and 2/3 vs. Milwaukee and this weekend we would need 2 wins vs. St. Louis, or 1 win and 1 Milwaukee loss to clinch at home. I really hope we can clinch on the field this year. Actually one of the funny thoughts I had when Z was being mobbed by his teammates last night is that they may be doing this exact same thing within a week to celebrate something much more awesome.
  21. UMFan83
    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Zambrano's Game score of 96 last night is the 2nd best game score in baseball since 2004. Only Bedard's 98 last season is better.
  22. UMFan83
    I read that last week. I enjoy reading your blog and the unique perspective you have. Keep it coming!

    I don't have much to add other then, I can't believe I went to this game. My fingers were literally tingling at the end of the game. There was no feeling in them. It's a sensation that I have only experienced one other time in my life....during the 9th inning of Game 5 of the 2003 NLDS. I was actually at the game in Arizona in 2003 when Z got robbed of a no hitter on a bad call, and I was so disappointed leaving the game, thinking I missed my chance to see a no hitter live. I also had free tickets to Buehrle's no hitter last year, but didn't go because I had a rec league basketball game, and hey its more important than the Sox. I am so lucky to have witnessed this. Lets hope my fingers lose their feeling several more times in the next month and a half

    Go team playing the Mets!

    We're at the point where if the Cubs go .500 the rest of the year, the Brewers have to go undefeated to tie us
