Cubs - Brewers

Frayed Knot Sep 26 2008 11:37 AM

Outplay the Brewers this weekend and we're in - no matter what happens in the Phils series. Starts out at 8PM (EDT) tonight under Milwaukee's dome *on ESPN* nationally. Jeff Suppan going for the home folks - has not fared well in his last 4 starts vs Ryan Dempster - Chicago's already named Game 1 starter. Saturday: Bush (or maybe Sheets, but probably not) - Lilly Sunday: Sabathia - Marquis Cubs leading the series 8-5 so far, although Milwaukee won 4 of the first 6 so it's 6-1 Cubs most recently.

My hunch is that the Brewers win one out of three. My other hunch is that the Mets win two of three from the Marlins.

Yovani Gallardo only threw 64 pitches last night for the Crew and the speculation in my neck of the woods is that he would start a one-gamer vs. the Mets if necessary. Nothing has been confirmed though.

rumor says hardy injured his hand during the celebration last night. but he's penciled in for the starting lineup.

Let's get Ryan Zimmerman to sneeze on him.

Does anyone think that the Cubs will intentionally lose because they would rather face the Dodgers than the Mets in the first round?

I think they'd rather face us and face our bully - which would not be as deep in the postseason.

Mike Cameron makes a catch vs. Hoffpauier that saves two runs.

Cubs get the early 1-0 lead on a homer by Edmonds.

Kendall ties it on a double. Ass.

Two on, no out for Fielder.

AG/DC Sep 26 2008 08:16 PM

Prince whiffs. J.J. Hardy up.

AG/DC Sep 26 2008 08:18 PM

Hardy pops up. Corey Hart at the plate.

AG/DC Sep 26 2008 08:20 PM

And Hart singles. 2-1, Brews.

End of inning.

Milwaukee goes up 5-1. Not our night thus far.

AG/DC Sep 26 2008 09:07 PM

Felix Pie of the unfriendly Cubs goes down swinging.

AG/DC Sep 26 2008 09:14 PM

Cubs go down like a card castle. Like the Mets in fact. A lot of credit here has to go to the Brews and their choice to go to a relief manager, so to speak. That's what? Six in a row?

Angel Guzman (0-0, 7.04) pitching for the Cubs today against Sabathia. On paper that looks real bad for us.

I left with yesterday's game in the fifth inning, still a no-hitter, to visit my friends in Baltimore. Shortly after leaving I called them. He, a Cubs fan, promised to keep tabs on the game and call me with any lead changes. I arrived and he said, "The Cubs are up by three going into the ninth." I responded, "They've got to use Kerry Wood!" Then his wife responded with, "No, Honey, they're up by four." "They've got to save Wood for tomorrow!"
