Alright! 3 games out of the division and 1.5 back of the wild card. All in all a fairly successful day, and we didn't even play!
-
HAWPE! FANTASY AND REALITY HAPPINESS!
-
Whoops spoke too soon there!
-
Looks like we will lose ground in the WC today now that the Padres bullpen is in the game. Padres up 5-2 in the 8th.
-
Pence out 4-6 weeks, you still want to predict 1/3?
-
Why wouldnt the Brewers have double switched Shouse into the game? Any chance we see Shouse hitting this inning?
-
Walked him by hitting him with the pitch!
-
I have a feeling the Brewers have a 4 game sweep. This was the one the Reds were supposed to win
-
This one's over
-
Brewers have to score in the 11th with Hardy, Braun and Fielder due up

8 Days From the Deadline..
UMFan83 replied to Rusch33's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's not huge splash? Keep in mind that there is very little trade chatter going on in the league right now. If we got a starter (which is useless to us) and Lofton, that would be a huge splash -
We got trouble here...
-
He's only thrown 112 pitches so far..
-
The last pitcher to go 10 IP was Roy Halladay on 4/13. The Jays won the game in the 10th
-
The Brewers will win this game. The Reds lineup sucks and the Brewers bullpen is really good. 0-0 tie between Pads and Rockies after 1/2 inning.
-
I think Soriano will continue to hit leadoff no matter what. Even so, I think getting Lofton would be a nice pickup Soriano Lofton Lee Ramirez Floyd DeRosa Theriot Kendall Bench: Ward Fontenot Pagan Blanco Jones (?)

Jeff Conine?

I like the first part of that article that talks about the Cubs hanging around most trade talks. At least we know Hendry is looking to make a deal. -
Great question. Rotoworld hasn't said anything about him in some time.
-
They are an enjoyable read. You also get to look into the mind of a 15 year old CT, which is always fun.

I stole this idea from BCB, but its an interesting prediction. After today's off day the Cubs play 20 games in a row, with 3 of the 6 opponents at or above .500. How they fare in these 20 games may determine the Central race. Here is the breakdown: 3 @ St. Louis 3 @ Cincinnati 4 vs. Philadelphia 3 vs. Mets 3 @ Houston 4 @ Colorado Anyone got predictions on how they fare? I'm going to go with 2/3 to St. Louis, 2/3 to Cinci (that Marshall/Harrang matchup worries me), 2/4 vs. Philly, 1/3 vs. Mets, 2/3 to Houston and 3/4 to Colorado. Thats 12-8 and puts them at 63-53 overall. (Note: During that stretch here is the Brewers schedule: 4 @ Cincinnati 4 @ St. Louis 3 vs. Mets 3 vs. Philly 3 @ Colorado 3 @ Houston Basically the same schedule in reverse)

I like our odds with Cap going against Harrang

Nationals, Bowden Making Run at Dunn
UMFan83 replied to reds44's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Plus you gotta think with the new ballpark opening next year, the Nats will probably be able to make a splash in the FA market...maybe not to contend but to at least make it an exciting team. That might be another decent selling point for Dunn. -
This might be a blessing in disguise. After reading the article in the trib that said that the Cubs were nowhere close to making a move due to this hot streak, Hendry might reconsider after this weekend.
-
Look at it this way, if the Cubs started out with two losses like these and ended with two wins like they started with, you'd be much happier at this moment. But they didn't so it sucks. The Cubs look to be slumping now, and heading on the road to face the hated Cardinals. Their pitching staff sucks, but as evidenced by the Cubs record against hte Cardinals last year, when they get together, you throw the records out.

So we played .500 baseball without Ramirez and were 3-2 without Lee. It will be really nice to tune in on Tuesday and not see Mike [expletive] Fontenot penciled into the 3 hole
