PrintThe Brewers and the Phils are the prime time game -- Sabathia against Brett Myers. I like the Phils in this series but Sabathia's going to give fits and the starting rotation is probably the Phils' achilles heel. It's now a 2 out of 3 series for the Phils. They'd better finish it off in 4 b/c they're not going to want to face the big guy a 2nd time.
Finally, it'll be the big Z against my favorite Dodger -- Chad Billingsley. He's 24 years young and, if you didn't already know it, one of the best pitchers in the NL. He's going to be some kind of special. The Cubs had better hope he's got some postseason jitters b/c Zambrano's been shaky of late (no-hitter excepted) as he battles the injury bug. The rumor is that Piniella's going to have Ted Lilly (did you know his real name was Theodore Roosevelt? I didn't make that up!) ready in case Zambrano's in trouble early. The Cubs do not want to go to LA down 0-2. Kuroda and the Dodgers' pen are better than you might think.

Is there any way...
… we can trade for Longoria? Dude’s a stud. 2 HRs in 2 postseason ABs.
Really Bank of America?
I don’t think Cardinal fans dress up like Witch Doctors. We don’t need curses to explain why our team loses or costumes to make them win again.
Obama/Pujols 2008.
Will we see a repete of the June 7th game between the Cubs & Dodgers?
What happened?
Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano lost his seven-game winning streak and his temper after giving up a season-high seven runs, including five in the seventh inning. Zambrano took his frustrations out on a drink cooler after exiting the game.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Gatorade really needs to sponsor Z
He gets their product on Camera so often, and shows off the durability of their coolers.

Seriously though,
total pro.
Space.
It's a problem we face.
So we never go anywhere.
We just stay in one place.
how much pressure is on the Cubs shoulders right now?
they have lost the first game of the short series, are expected to win, and have the whole mythos of the curse around them?
Did anyone think they would be anywhere but in the world series?

Suppose Longoria...
needs any help? That kid is on fire today…3 for 3, 2HR, BB, SB, 3RBI and 2R’s. He’s my new reason for keeping up with the playoffs. Too bad I don’t have cable/satelite. Are the LCS’s on TBS or Fox?

So much for the "need PROVEN vets for the playoffs" theory.
Anyone here think if we had a rook like that he would even have started the game?
I agree
look at all the youth on that team. Everyone knew it was just a matter of time and as soon as those young pitchers came around, they became potent. Bartlett’s helped to settle down their infield defense — he’s probably (along w/ Gross) the oldest guy in their lineup except for DH Cliff Floyd. The Cards farm has come a long way but we’re nowhere near the Rays in terms of good, young players.
And their best pitcher may be sitting in their pen — David Price.
actually, pena and iwamura are 30 and 29 respectively
but your overall point is right on. i thought those two were younger, personally.
very true
forgot about them. Pena took a long time to develop. It’s good to take a chance on those guys sometimes, right Mr. Ludwick?
Iwamura was a pretty expensive chance
considering the posting fee they had to give up.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
DriverZn............. I understand the point you are trying to make but you chose a bad example.
Albert Pujols played as rookie in 2001 during the play-offs. Albert played the whole regular season as well.
Evan Longoria is playing in the play-offs as a rookie but he did play 122 games for the Rays this year.
You act like Longoria fell out of the sky and Maddon just decided “well I should start this guy because I think he is good”….. His season stats moved him into vet status.
Albert, the best players of our generation isn't really a good comp.
Look back to how JD Drew was handled. Or how Rick Ankiel was handled in the playoffs. Those are players of more comparable talent.
My issue with TLR is he will often bench players with more talent for players he “trusts”.
Or in 2004 when Haren was put in the pen in favor of a more trustworthy Morris who clearly was in steep decline.
I get what you are saying....
I was just saying that Longoria put up solid stats all year. I doubt if Longoria played 122+ games in STL Tony would sit him in the play-offs…….
That’s just crazy.
Sure...
but would Longoria even GET 122+ games if he were playing in STL?
My magic 8 ball says: “Outlook not so good.”
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Another good example would be Tim Lincecum
Would he have been the pitcher he is today if he was a card?
Or would we have tinkered with his mechanics to get more on top of the ball, stand more upright, stride less, pitch down in the zone, …
I think its just frustration.
I (and I think others) are tired of the same re-hashed and washed up vets being run out there while we would really like to see what the younger players on our team can do. Its clear from the playoffs that young teams can win every bit as well as “vet” teams. This whole thing about “needing players he can trust” is just a misguided belief.
So we have started our offseason early and begun by signing a average pitcher to a big contract. Would we still be playing games if our manager didn’t have this obsession and played Perez, Mott, and Barden when is was clear Franklin, Izzy, and AK were not up to the task?
The fact that a team full of young players is doing well just rubs the salt in the wounds. Meanwhile we are told that YP hasn’t earned it, and we need to spend big $$$ on a players that project to be no better. At the same time the proof that young players can in fact play the game is right in front of our eyes for all to see (except TLR).
i agree with you in principle
but who projects to be better than lohse, in our system, for 2009? The specter of 2007 still looms in my mind, and while I think that the contract to lohse may be one we regret, it isn’t going to be that brutal.
The idea of going into a season without 6 viable starting pitchers is terrifying to me, and I’m willing to rationalize away one Lohse. i don’t LIKE it, but I’ll accept it.
If we trade Rasmus straight up for Holliday, I’ll break something expensive— but if we could get Holliday without giving up rasmus or todd, I’ll be very very happy. The same goes for Brian Giles, though we shouldn’t give up any of our real prospects for him. Maybe give them Freese back…

Look at his stats in 2007-2008 in the minors.

Reminds me of some wilder minor league affiliates. Maybe in another decade they’ll settle down, but if MLB wants to put down roots in Florida, may have to start there.

in the matrix thread I said
they need to get insurance for carp going down…i think it wasn interpreted as literal. I mean they need to try and get another arm instead of year 2/of wait and see then no go. If they really want to try and win that is. Write now you have waino, loshe,welley,pinero and who?? I would not count carp as a given and dont think they shuld either…maybe try to get lowe or someone?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
I thought you meant literal
When getting that 5th starter do you got reliable or risk-higher reward?
I think we can get Pinero replacement level out of Boggs so would like us to go towards a higher risk guy like Brad Penny on a one year deal

A MVP “candidate” that came back to the post season to break 200K (and his highest ever K mark) against a tired CC is quite, well.. outstanding.

The "screw FOX" dream series...

I feel all dirty
wanting Lidge to close this one out. But the pragmatic part of me says Lidge suffered long enough under Albert’s wrath.

There's just something about the Phillies that bores me.
Has nothing to do with their players. Every time they’re in the post season, I can’t watch without falling to sleep for some reason. I think it’s their stupid-ass candy striped uniforms. Looks like they should be selling cotton candy in the Instructional League.

Since the fans got called out last night for being quite

Btw, the usual Anthem singer at Wrigley is Wayne Messmer who used to sing at the old Chicago Stadium (Blackhawks games) and the tradition there was to cheer loudly thoughout the entire Anthem. Might have something to do with it?

But I also realized, that unless the president dies (I guess McCain IS kind of old…), what the VP says is almost worthless. Basically, I’m watching the game now lol.

well, practically speaking
The president hires a lot of people, so it’s worth it to see whom he (or she) would pick. And whether they’re in favor of a backloaded contract or not.

President is the Owner of the team
The Chief of Staff is the GM (manages employees, hiring firing, etc.)
The VP is the President (manages the behind the scenes stuff)
The Sec of State is the Manager
The National Security adviser is the bench coach
The Sec Def is the 3rd Base and Defense coach (runs the on field offense and defense)

Yes. It’s an oxymoron. Some idiot tried to take out Manny.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/1198226,cubarrest100208.article
read about that on bcb
and that’s not the story Al told.
Al said manny threw the warm-up ball into the stands (like a lot of players do) and the guy who caught it threw it back. Manny ducked and dodged wildly but the ball never came all that close to him. Manny was just playing around in Al’s opinion, but the dude got kicked out since it wasn’t a homerun ball thrown back.
So, take if for what it’s worth.

Watching these two series
I get this sneaking suspicion this may be the last we see of the Cubs and Brewers in the playoffs for years. Dempster will never be what he was this season, Harden can still opt out and Zambrano looks like he’s already injured.
Plus, their ‘Big 3’ have choked in the postseason the last two years. They’ve got $50 M tied up in a defensive specialist in LF.
As far as Milwaukee, Sheets and Sabathia are both gone. I’m afraid they may try to go the Tigers route and try to buy their way back into the playoffs, even at the expense of their great farm system.

band was a mish mash of guitar player from GR, singer from Johnny Can’t Rap, drummer and guitar player from No Celebrity… me on bass… and then our singer got sick and we had to disband right before we went gigging

Yah that’s his name. Yah Jeff was amazing on guitar. He and our other guitar player could do anything and sound EXACTLY like the album (or NOT like the album if you wanted them to mix it up).
We were doing just about everything – pop, rock (80s,90s),funk, etc etc…. we even had a female singer to do a few songs (Alannis, Joan Jett, etc).
I’m not gigging right now, except playing with SLU’s pep band at their basketball games for fun. probably will start looking for gigging bands here soon.

"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
I'll say this, though,
the way Manny turned it on once he got to LA ought to scare the bejeebus out of anyone thinking of signing him to a 3 or 4 year deal this offseason. Do you want to wait 3 1/2 seasons for him to decide to try and earn the money you gave him?
are you saying he hasn't earned his money the past couple of years?

not really
I’d have to look it up. I’m just saying that he’s, what, 36 or something? 35 maybe? How well is he going to play when he’s 36, 37, and 38 if he’s not really motivated? With his performance this offseason, he’s going to make $15-18 M per year over the next 3-4 years, in all likelihood, and I wouldn’t want to bet that kind of coin on a guy who plays when he feels like it.
Oh,
i thought you were saying he just cashed it in until the last couple months of his contract. What you say makes sense.

they also have Juan Pierre on the bench. They didn’t start winning until they plugged in Loney, Kemp and Ethier every day. In fact, i take that back. It is part of the reason they’re winning — b/c they’re on the bench and not in the lineup. They’re done.

I don't know
he’s their third centerfielder and is basically a late inning, pinch runner.
But, the only out fielders left off the post-season roster by Lou was Micah Hoffpauir and Casey McGehee and I’m not sure McGehee qualified for post-season play besides the fact he wasn’t good enough.
Basically they’re carrying 6 outfielder + Mark DeRosa. Soriano, Edmonds, Fukudome, Johnson, Pie, and Ward. Three of those guys pretty much only play centerfield so there’s not a lot of wiggle room in there. By benching Fukudome, that means DeRosa has to play right. He’s a little banged up and is not nearly as good defensively as Fukudome, although DeRosa does a fine job of holding his own and his bat is much better than Fukudome’s.
So, if DeRosa is playing right, then you have to move Fontenot or Cedeno in to 2nd. That makes the bench worse, makes the middle infield worse, and gives the team less flexibility. But, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Fukudome come in as an 8th or 9th innning defensive replacement on Saturday.

all on ground balls too.
and one was a double play ball.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
And that Padres ownage
was on Peavy twice thinks to a hidden injury and Mike Piazza dropping a foul pop.

when i think of the 04 nlds
i think of the dodgers coming out and shaking all the cards players’ hands after the clincher. very classy. thats one of the reasons i’m rooting for them to win the series this year.
I feel jipped

wow
that wasnt too bad
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
everything about him is Perez like
-he is a fire thrower
-he is sometimes very wild
-he is the “closer of the future” (though he is closing now), with an old Saito in front of him
-he is kind of fat

I was thinking the same thing

Always puts a little hop in my step

i'll never forget...
the look of all those devastated mets fans in ‘06 either…they still can’t believe yadi took them deep and beltran still hasn’t swung the bat…
I can't believe we have to wait until 5 o'freaking-clock for baseball tomorrow!!!

I know we're pulling for the Rays here
but it really is a shame for those of us living in Chicago that the White Sox didn’t win today. They’d be all over the cub fans.

i'm just grateful that an all-chicago world series is all but out the window...
cause i don’t think i could have handled the media fellation of chicago and how it’s such a “great” baseball town…all-l.a. would be much easier to take…
also did anyone see the at bat b/t Cabrerra and Balfour
Durring the TB CWS game?
It was awesome.
Balfour threw the first pitch way outside…then for no reason Cabrerra kicked the dirt and started yelling at Balfour.
then they both yelled some, the ump settled them down.
and eventually he struck him out, then walked off the mound, remembered what happened and told him to “sit down” or something.

What is Cal talking about?
Cubs had to win a 3 game losing streak to get in to the playoffs? I think he’s got the cubs confused with the White Sox.

He's benching Fukudome

He got pissed
the reporter asked about Fukudome and he said “I don’t want to hear about Fukudome anymore” and then he said the stuff I wrote above.

Lose 10-3 and not get pissed on the infield defense? Doesn’t make too much sense to me. But hey, cause rifts for next year by attacking ‘dome, I’m all for it. Any edge we can get

oh, he was pissed about that too

If I were Cubs fans
I’d just generally look towards Fukudome’s sophmore season. I mean, his first season pretty much mirrored Dice K’s.
But when/as Lou rips on him, that’s not exactly going to help, even more so considering the media is going to light’a’fire over there on it. It won’t mesh well

er, media I’m referencing is Japan’s, but I’m sure Chi-Town will run on it as well.

I think Fukudome's the type of guy who doesn't worry about that stuff
He knows he sucks and would probably agree with Lou. As bad as he’s played, he’s pretty professional about himself.
