October 2, 2008 Playoff Games Open Thread

The Sox and Rays get started today w/ Javier Vazquez going against James Shields. Vazquez has been positively awful in his last 3 starts (18 ER in 12 IP) and Guillen's been going w/ a 4 man rotation for about 10 days now. He may run those starters into the ground in his quest to bring a title back to the south side. It says something about how good Shields has become that he's the game 1 starter over Kazmir. He's less heralded than his teammate but he's been very good since the beginning of last season. And he's just 26.

The 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.

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.

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?

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?

by DriverZn on Oct 2, 2008 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

obviously

he became a proven vet sometime between the end of the season and today’s game, which allowed him to perform When It Counts.

It takes a keen managerial eye to notice exactly when this happens.

by DanUpBaby on Oct 2, 2008 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by mattybobo on Oct 2, 2008 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

by ICbirdfan on Oct 2, 2008 5:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by DriverZn on Oct 2, 2008 6:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by ICbirdfan on Oct 2, 2008 6:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sure...

but would Longoria even GET 122+ games if he were playing in STL?

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, …

by DriverZn on Oct 2, 2008 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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).

by DriverZn on Oct 2, 2008 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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…

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?

Guess they gotta take it where they can.

I still remember there were moments of watchful murmuring during our playoff runs. Drove me crazy when the announcers said the other team ‘silenced’ Busch. Am I the only one thinking ‘man, we’re watching the _game_’?

It isn't exactly exciting so far

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.

The VP is the President (manages the behind the scenes stuff)

I just did a goat search in the comments

haven’t found it yet, but I did find out that I have missed out on a lot by not following this site in the last two offseasons. I have been last game of the season and out of here until ST. I won’t make that mistake again. Where else am I gonna learn that some asshat Cubs fans hung a dead goat up then ate it last offseason trying to break the curse?

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.

yeah, hence my sense of urgency for us to complete our "rebuilding"

We’ve got to be on pace with the Reds and the Stros, or we’ll be just as antiquated as Wrigley and Wrigley North. It may come down to timing, as the vets get older and the rooks get more expensive.

I heard somewhere that Chicago bars are planning on

stopping selling alcohol if/when the Cubs [somehow] win it all.

The question is, what do they do when (knock on wood) the Cubs get eliminated in the first round? Bring in UN peacekeepers? Animal control to possibly search for a goat/exterminator to kill all of the goats? Immediately return to cries of “next year is our year?” All of the above?
