They have won five games this season. During the four years my brother attended, they won once.

you've got to love the Brewers being smug about winning against us

Even though it doesn’t mean anything to us! They’re idiots.

If the Cubs win, you will be forgiven. Otherwise, you will be flogged and debited 1,000 BCB points.

Pitching theory

Does it make sense to put a sub-par reliever in (not saying Marmol is subpar) when the opponent is rolling instead of one’s closer? I mean doesn’t it make sense to put the guy you consider your stopper in to STOP the opposition instead of saving him for the 9th when by that time your sub-par reliever may have already choked up the lead? Opinions?

by VegasCubFan on Sep 27, 2008 4:58 PM CDT   0 recs

well, that's the theory

and why some teams (2004 Red Sox) attempted a closer by committee, thinking they could bring in their best reliever whenever. But, it didn’t work, because not all relievers have the mentality to close games.

Makes sense to use Marmol and Wood

It makes sense to use Marmol and Wood today, in their normal roles, then rest them tomorrow, giving them a few days off before the NLDS.

In better AL news,

Twins get out of a bases loaded, no out jam. Tied at 2-2

If the Twins win out, they win the Central, correct?

if the WS win out

they would have to play the tigers monday…

by LT on Sep 27, 2008 5:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

If Twins win out,

and Sox lose next 1 or 2, yes.

If White Sox are up/down .5 game after Sunday, they have to play Detroit to make up a game from a couple weeks ago

Sox and Twins are tied in the loss column

The Twins’ half-game lead is because the Sox had a game postponed (vs Detroit) which, if necessary, will be made up Monday.

That's his role in the postseason...

makes sense to get him out there in a relief appearance, get him used to it.

Makes sense...

…though I’m surprised they didn’t ask him to pitch today.

After all, they’re working him like a rented mule.

I would say CC is a 'big' free agent

yes, Ken Rosenthal, you’re right.

_if_ Lou is back?

Did he only have a two-year contract?

He is under contract, but I wouldn't be surprised if he retires IF the Cubs win the WS.

Most people want to go out on top…
