Is Suppan on short rest?

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

f'in guy at the game yesterday

kept yelling, “c’mon brauny” and “let’s go braun bomber”. Pissed me off. Not only is braun a douche, his existence encourages milwaukee fans to be douchebags as well.

I went to a game at Miller Park this summer

and the guys we sat next to were really, really nice. They recognized Braun’s douchiness and made fun of him for it. As well as Mat Gamel and JJ Hardy.

maybe just this fan

was a douche, but he was a big time douche. He was wearing Ray-ban, thick framed glasses. I wanted to hit him, but he looked like he was maybe 16

because he was up earlier in the year? Player doesn’t have to be up at the deadline if he was up earlier in the year, IIRC.

no......

player has to be on 25 man on Aug 31 to be eligible, unless if someone goes on DL, then has to be on 40 man by Aug 31 to qualify. I believe.

players on the DL as of Aug 31 also qualify

The 25 man plus the dl players as of Aug 31 make up the postseason eligible pool. If one of those players are DL’d for the playoffs, any player in the organization can be added to the post season roster, not just 40 man.

by ubeddie on Oct 4, 2009 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right, but the point is

someone has to be DL’d for Freese to play, correct?

but

what i looked up on the rule says that the player has to play the same position. I suspect, if that is the case, that K Greene is going to be the one.

the rule changed in 2006 eliminating the position for position rule

leach had this article explaining several of the aspects of the postseason rules

I think the position rule still exists when a player is DL’d during a series

tbs may want to have the Yanks in prime time on Oct 7th. The 6 pm start is probably late enough for Boston on the 8th. Looking ahead, tbs has a game scheduled to start at 11 pm on Sunday (Game 4 of NLDS or Game 3 of ALDS) Can’t see a late start in Boston or wherever the Yanks play.

I’m not comfortable with any of our options for starters.

I don’t care how good Pineiro was at times…he’s been average at best over his last 4 or 5 starts.

My experience as a seller

is that StubHub is confirming to make sure that you haven’t sold the tickets by other means and forgot to take them off the site. (That way they don’t get screwed with the guarantee to get to comparable seats.) I would guess that happens a lot.

Whatchya gonna see?

But

they took a 15 game lead down to 1 ½ in September.

do we have to go to extras?

Looking at the scoreboard I see that the Natinals have taken a 2-1 lead over the Bravos in the 15th…..

but FOR FUX FUKKIN SAKE TONY YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW BETTER THAN TO USE THREE CATCHERS IN 9 FUGGIN INNINGS

….ahem. Excuse me.

let the kids play

I hate the brewers untucking as much as the next guy. But this game is meaningless.

by Evilfrog on Oct 4, 2009 5:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

still though

AFAIK Freese isn’t a catcher. I hate watching Tony just shrug his shoulders and hand Milwaukee a winnable game.

by nota bene on Oct 4, 2009 5:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

C'mon

I’m with TLR on this one. There’s no reason to predict Freese catching for one inning impacts the game.

All I know is he's taking up more screen space.

My friend's parents got married during the 1982 world series.

The game was on in the kitchen of the church’s fellowship hall and all the men kept running in to check.

I don't think I'll schedule my wedding in October.

Then I avoid all possible baseball playoff conflicts.
