Who should he start over? The guy who's been on base 7 times the last 3 games, or the guy who's been on base 8 times the last 3 games? How about the guy who has made numerous mental and physical errors possibly having cost the Cubs 2 or more games in the last week or so?
God forbid people get pissed off over a heartbreaking win. Is that like when you win the game but lose several key players to injury? Trying to figure out what you're referring to...did the Brewers lose anyone? Oops. Meant heartbreaking loss. Wow I'm an idiot and/or too tired. I totally missed that.

the cubs' pythagorean W-L actually improved during this series! also, this is the st. louis cardinals roster. you should feel better after looking it over. You should. But then look at 2006 . Think about Jeff Weaver leading them to a title. I feel a lot less better now. That team won like 83 games or something. Any team can get hot for 15-20 playoff games. It just so happened it was them. :banghead:
Shouldn't have thrown beer on him [-X Classy Brewer fans. He's absolutely 100% right about what he said. Of course, coming to say it here as though we have anything to do with that is sort of lame.
Come on, man. What is that his 3rd blown save already this year? Plus the horrible outing in game one. I have had enough of the Wood for closer experiment. I agree, Marmol to closer. Sorry Kerry, but in save situations this year he has been terrible. So you'd rather have Wood/Howry coming in for difficult situations like the one Marmol came in for today? Right.
Am I nuts or does this not seem like one of the situations where all the crazy aggressive baserunning crap might be a good idea? And just as I say that... ugh
Bench, Soto, Pie. If we can get Cedeno on and Soto to homer, that's awesome, but I'm not sold on that due-up. My bad, I had a brain fart. Also forgot about the sub, but I don't mind Ronny up.
And you are still wrong. Check a run expectancy chart. I don't care what a stupid chart tells me. It's a simple fact I would rather have a mistake that doesn't end the inning than one that does. This is why you get more upset when someone strikes out with two outs than with no outs. There is no chance to make up for a two out mistake in a inning. Chart's and statistics aren't the end all be all. Except they're based on, you know, facts, and not gut feelings.
