    I dunno if you need an "excuse" to pull him fast. It's an elimination game. If he gives up two runs in the first you can pull him and feel well about it.

    Yeah, but if you claim he's hurt your reliever gets to make a full warmup.

    Ok, here's a possibility for the Cubbie occurence. There's actually a 60% chance of rain today in LA - figures, it never rains in Southern California except when there's a playoff baseball game involving the Cubs.

    So this could lead the several Cubbie occurence possibilities. Someone slips making a fielding play and/or there's an errant throw because of a wet ball because, you know, the Cubs were so solid in the field in Game 2. Mark DeRosa who supposedly wasn't playing in RF in the first two games because of a calf strain and is the ONLY Cub hitting at all in this series slips on the wet turf and reaggrevates the calf forcing Fukodome back in the lineup. There's a rain delay and, of course, fragile Rich Harden can't come back after that.

    Or, the mother of all Cubbie occurences, the game goes to extra innings. The potential winning run is rounding third for the Cubs and he slips on the wet turf. In the bottom of the inning, the Dodgers score the winning run.

    So many possibilities.

    But that is the real weather forecast.

    Well, I'm off to do some things and then onto the game.
     
  4. Hammer, meet nail. The Cubs flat-out choked. No other excuses, rationalizations or justifications needed.

    And that's coming from one of the "fanboy loosers."

    Have fun, buckweaver! Save your ticket to remember the time you saw the Dodgers clinch a playoff series!

    I'm oddly jealous.

    If you had a guy on second base and a righthanded hitter at the plate with Jamie Moyer on the mound, wouldn't you run EVERY time?

    His delivery's slow and he can't break 85 mph.

    Fucking run, Brewers.

    I'm watching this game because Jamie Moyer was pitching back when I watched baseball the first time. In THE 1980s.

    Ray Charles has been resurrected, and he's calling balls and strikes in the Brewers-Phils game.
