Squeeked one out last night. Getting ready for the 1st pitch tonight with Sheets against Peavy.

Hey Windy City, congrats to your daughter and hope you survived the wedding!!!

I think they forgot how to hit the ball. After a nice 5 hit shutout by Sheets they get beat today like red headed step children allowing 10 runs and getting 2 hits and one run. I see the Mat Gamel was 1 for 1 with a double. I wonder how long it will take for Skalen to screw up his swing?

[Windy City]

Thanks Snooze,

And thanks to the current Pale Hose and past Pale Hose for a most enjoyable Saturday. Mr. Thome went deep in the 15th to help my Pale Hose put one more nail in the Twinkie coffin and Maggs Ordonez did the same with the late inning long ball to bury the Twinks. Magic number just keeps getting smaller and smaller for my Pale Hose, but no time to rest with the Jays coming to town. GO KC! LOL

They finally squeaked one out against Cincy. Now off to Philly for a series that is huge for both teams.

[snoozebutton]

Not looking good. Philly's within 3 games and now Houston's snuck up on us and they're playing lights out right now. We'd better be able to take 2 of the next 3 but I don't like our chances with Parra going against Hamel tonight. Bush against Blanton Saturday (might be our best shot) and they haven't annouced a starter for Sunday to go up against Suppan.

Need to win this one tonight. Sheets going against Jason Marquis.

[snoozebutton]

That had to have been the worse loss so far this season. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Cooter]

That was pathetic, glad I was at work and could only listen to it...

[snoozebutton]

There season continues to head down the crapper. It's like the whole team went into a funk when all they had to do was play .500 ball to get a wild card shot. No pitching, no hitting, errors at the worst possible time.

The sad thing is this was the year. Most likely Sheets and Sabathia will both be gone next season and after those two, there isn't a lot.

[snoozebutton]

Well, still hanging onto a slim chance. Mets lost to the Cubbies last night so only 1 game back. I want to see the Mets lose all 3 of those games but I find it really hard to cheer for the Cubs.

[Windy City]

Kind of weird, eh snooze! I could never cheer for them, as you can probably surmise from my avatar. My two favorite baseball teams have always been, The White Sox....AND WHO EVER PLAYS THE CUBS!

Gee wiz I thought it was the TWINS.

[snoozebutton]

One more night of rooting for the Cubs, then back to normal.

[snoozebutton]

Okay, back to being a Cub hater.

[Cooter]

I rooted for them last night and they let me down, that was the last straw - go CREW!

[Gary Crichton]

Boy you Wisconi's sure do jump around a lot. I guess being that close to Chicago, can do that 2 ya.

G.C.

[croixeyes]

Cubs have been playin alot of their backups in new york and still almost won the series.I think their gonna play their starters for the weekend in brewtown,so they can get NY in the playoffs

[snoozebutton]

Nice win last night coupled with a Mets loss. A win today and another loss by the Mets and hopefully they can start someone besides CC for the final game. It would be nice to save him for the first play off game.

Is Sheets done?

I thought I saw something on ESPN this morning where he said he was done for the season IF the Brew made the playoffs?

[snoozebutton]

It appears that way. Here's what he had to say after the game Saturday.

Quote:

"I felt pretty good at the beginning, but that didn't last long," Sheets said. "The third inning jumped on me pretty good. It was pain.

"That's it. That's all I had. . . . It was all I had. . . for the year."

Sheets left no murkiness on that front. Unless he has a remarkable healing, he will be a cheerleader for whatever remains of this season.

Anyhoo, bring on the Philly's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Milwaukee can get any kind of pitching and a little offense....they could take care of Fightin' Fills.

Gotta love October!

I think the bats need to wake up. Hall, Hart, Hardy, and Weeks all have to start relaxing at the plate and hit like they're capable of hitting and we can beat anybody.

Deffinitely have to do a better job with RISP. Uke threw out some stats the other day, runners at 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs they're hitting .209, with the bases loaded .194, and with the bases loaded and 2 outs .169.
