At least Josh Geer, of the Pads, a rook --
(and I don’t think that name is entirely correct) has held the ’crew to 2 runs, entering the bottom of the 6th — still 2-1 Milwaukee.

Contrarian viewpoint on the Brewers
They’ve been sucking it up almost as bad as the Cubs. But lets be honest, the Brewers ARE going to make the NL playoffs. Certainly Ned Yost understands that. Maybe it is a case of him trying like hell to get Eric Gagne sorted out given the general lousiness of their bullpen. They need a semi-good Gagne in the playoffs. Might as well invest in getting him going now.
Sounds almost "Howry-like" in that philosophy
The only stats I care about are the ones on the back of a baseball card
by carmen_fanzone on Sep 5, 2008 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions
Yep, except....
Howry is done. Cubs have the bullpen depth to leave him off of the playoff roster. The Brewers on the other hand really need Eric Gagne to work out. Their bullpen isn’t going to get them far in the playoffs. Not unless they blow the opponent out or Sabathia, Sheets and Parra pitch complete games.
If Gagne's not showing "done", I'd check that meat thermometer.... it's broken.

Two Reasons
1) Ted Lilly doesn’t fare well against the Reds (at least since being a Cub)
2) Hitters are in an awful slump, maybe trying to do too much to pull out of it.

Nate Silver, creator of BP…has applied many of the same regression models and a lot of the baseball-like models to politics. My buddy just turned me on to it the other night, and I’ve been spending just about every waking hour reading it. It seems pretty apolitical to me, and gives a good vibe of the pulse of politics.
Just thought it was neat to see some baseball statistics philosophy applied to a different field. Not trying to start a political discussion.

It's interesting, and I think a lot of it's solid.
At the same time, though, it’s really cutting into his work with BP, and they lost most of their other good analysts to teams (Woolner now works for the Indians, Fox for the Pirates). Part of the brain drain at BP.
I think I remember reading somewhere
that Nate didn’t want to close himself off to “only” baseball. I may be wrong.

that's not going to serve him well in the long run.
And they’ve gone through four pitchers from the pen. Tomorrow should be good.

Which is really misleading...
…and makes it sound a lot more nervewracking than it is. The Brewers are eight games behind the Cubs.
I know. I've always hated this.

Not To Be Dense, But
if Milwaukee wins eight more games, then wouldn’t they be four games better than the Cubs?

I've learned when someone says:

It usually means they are.

The Cubs are 29 games above .500.
The Brewers are 21 games above .500.
Sorry, I worded that incorrectly. The Brewers have to make up eight games on the Cubs, either via Cubs loss or Brewers win.
If the Brewers win eight straight and the Cubs lose eight straight, yeah, then we’d be four back.

Okay, everybody, go ahead and put your shoelaces and razor blades in the collection bin over there.
You can get them back after the next Cubs win.
no announcement about high buildings seeming inviting?

well, the padres played them tough
and the next two nights, the matchups might favor them. 3 of 4 was my prediction, this one I figured the Brewers would get.
so many damn blown chances, tho

I've always wondered about ...
how in baseball, all the extra innings function like the 9th inning. It gives a huuuuuge advantage to the home team imo…
baseball is the one sport
where theres a real advantage to playing at home.

Well give the Padres credit
They played hard and kept CC from getting a win. Tomorrow is Peavy Vs Sheets so a pretty
good match up. The ultimate irony is that Cubs cast off Jody Gerut who was hitting up a storm is injured , might have made a difference if he could have started.
